trusten, how often do you water your babies? that leaves look damn droopy and that is normally a sign for over-watering them and not heat
when the dirt is about 2-3 inches dry below usually i use cfl's and there not close enough to burn.i got like a 5dollar ph test good for like only 1time and it said if it comes in dark green then the ph is good and it came back dark green.so i usually water 4-6 days depending on how damp the soil is.i have a oscilateing fan getting the plant good left on 24hours

Okay.
The last picture is definitely Magnesium deficiency - the other pictures look like nutrient overdose. Sounds odd having one plant with a deficiency and the others overdosed, but what's probably happening is nutrient lockout of some nutrients but not others probably caused by either 1) wrong water ph but unlikely, 2) high chlorinity or salinity of your water or 3) cold soil temperature or extremes of lights off lights on temperatures.
Having you been feeding it any nutrients?

one way would be ebay, other way would be aquaria shops. garden centers carry also cheap ph testers which of cause are not to accurate but ruffly work if you gauge them with pH strips as reference hydro shops carry them of cause too
hydro shops carry them of cause too

he stated that he had twice, both times i guess un-pH-ed, he stated nothing about themps nor de-clorine treatment of is water if im corect.
could be extreme themps since is leaves show a bit reddish/purple discoloration in one pic
wow would it be better off to get a ph tester and thro those plants out and use my other plants that are doing very well in veg and flower them once they get bigger? cuzz idk how to give it more magnesium and ebay takes awhile to ship so it might not make it in time.doesn't leaving your water out for 24 hours or longer get rid of most of the bad stuff and lvl the ph out?

Don't feed it any more nutrients until you figure out what's causing the problem. My betting is, it's the high salinity/chlorinity of your water - try letting the water stand for at least 24 hours before feeding your plants. Check the water ph and make sure it's between 6 and 7 and make sure the soil isn't cold at night.
thanks babygro i always let my water stand for 24hours or even longer.were can i get a ph meter and the ph upper and downer to go along with it?.and how do i keep the soil warm?.my plants are in the garage theres 2 garage doors 1 is a regular one for cars and then in the back is a wooden garage door opener for boats i keep both of these close except when cars leave and enter

get the yellow pages out and check for aquatic or hydro shops in your area or got to the next garden center and as there, maybe phone in first and check with them

aquatic stores, it is needed for fish tanks
or use vinegar and baking powderi told you that with the pH meter more then once now
ele. heating pads, pet shop for tanks, aquatics too, garden centers...
or just keep your pots of the ground, put them on styropfome or stuff like that (don't mix with heating pads!)
