Shut off the exhaust and put circulating fans in . Temp has been sitting steady at 28 c and 63% humidity. Gunna monitor it Tomorrow hopefully this will last until the inkbird comes in. Thanks for the help everyone!
Your red stems tell me there is other issues at hand as I stated a couple days ago. Have you checked the EC of your run off feed? I think your shits locked out personally

Don't currently have a ec meter ill pick one up though. Possibly a buildup of salts causing the locking out? Was thinking of running some phed water through to see if that helps them.

Another thing i realized that might be useful information is that my 4x2 veg room gets fed out of the same Feed as the 4x4 In the exact same growth stage and it has had no problems at all under a 220w t5. Temps in that room are 24/ 50%...

I think the 550 has a better spectrum and higher ppfd (at full power) than the 600W MH or HPS ... which means your plants will probably need more of everything in order to support a higher rate of photosynthesis. Comparing them to the plants under the T5 isn't indicative of anything since the T5 tent has had stable environment.
Have you tried raising the % to 65 or 75%? The 550 is stronger than a 600WMH/HPS but not THAT much stronger.

i started at 100... went to 75% and now im at 50. It isn't really producing much of a difference when i dim the lights. Im feeding at 50% recommended dosage like
I always do for indoor/outdoor crops (except 2ml calimagic). Im thinking after these dry from The flush ill give them 100% recommended dose see if that changes how they look. At this point i don't have much to loose.

Cali magic did nothing. Full Flush did nothing. Perfect heat and humidity also did nothing. Its been a week. About to just sell the light and bring back my hps.

Once again. These plants are locked the fuck up with root issues (probably from overwatering and all the flushing) have you checked the EC yet?

100% has nothing to do with your lights.

Plants were never overwatered tho. In fact problem started when medium was dry right after lights were installed. I only flushed after the problems began And ran 2 gals of fresh phed water through each 5 gal pot nothing to crazy. Ph came of runoff came out at 5.5 went in at 6.2...Also a locked up plant would show deficiency and red stems through out to my understanding?. Correct me if im wrong but Why does this lock out only effect the canopy closest to the light? Bottom growth is green stems and normal green leaves.. In fact the og kush has no red stems at all but is still yellowing off the top.

Could these be root bound? I see all the white roots coming through the wholes at the bottom. 2 months from clone in the 5 gals.

As of right now I'm noticing some colour coming back. The candy store and triple og In front seem to be shooting up now. Think the ph adjustment and plain water worked.

yea I was wrong they were definitely locked the fuck up I just never seen it before. I was stuck on the leds cause it happened right when i switched em.
