That pineapple express looks really nice. I will be growing out a single pineapple chunk in my next indoor grow. I have to get a tent before I start that probably 4x4 or 5x5 with a 600 watt cool tube. There will be several other strains, along with vanilla kush. Im looking forward to seeing how your plants turn out. I have some of the special kush #1 seeds as well, I just havent decided when to grow them. Maybe in the next batch as well if yours turns out good.

5 are kush strains so there indica dom and the 1 pinneapple chunk is skunk x pinneapple so thats a hybrid

mine did the same splotching yellowing and curling and drying up from shitty un balanced water(intercrenial necrosis or some thing like that i was told) and i learned the importance of Ph and good water

heres the plants that are haveing trouble.i just changed to good water so i hope they will come back.im pretty sure that it was the crappy tap water wich caused a mag or cal def.i looked up something online and it looks like i have a phosfurous def(the big black patches on the third pic)

RW is a motherfucker lol. I went to hydroton mixed with mini RW cubes (like salad croutons) wayyyyy better. Even if you keep your rez ph at 5.5 suck some samples direclty from the cubes and test them. Bet you they are like 7-8... damn RW is just too Ph unstable, and if water more to correct the PH u end up over watering. Get the roots grown out quick. Put the cubes in pots with hydroton around them, when the roots break free you'll get some relief.

Sub'd though goodluck.
