first journal!

So this is my first journal. Feel free to give input.ill start with My curent set up 1000watt hps with a magnum xxxl 8'' reflector. A lumatech dimable ballest 600 700 1000 and super lumens settings. Currently have it set at 1000watt. I have I 440cfm extraction fan attached to the back pulling air over the bulb blowing into the attic and one pulling air from the tent..my room is 11x11x8 and tent is 2 1/2x2 1/2x5.my flowering plants occupy a 5x5x4 area out of the 11x11x8.my average humidity is 50-65 and temp 70-75.i have two oscillating fans for my flowers and one for my clones/veg.

The plants I'm currently flowering are train wreck. I have 4 train wreck in the veg tent and two black cherry soda clones. I hope those two pull threw they weren't to health when I got them. Im in promix soiless. I'm using fox farm following the schedule and feeding every water. I am changing both those thing tho I'm going to a water feed water schedule and following a diffrent schedule for what to feed. I have the full line with the solubles and liquids.here are pics of my four plants in flower they vegd for three months and are in 3gal bukets.they have been flowering for 51 days I belive.

This is my clone tent I have 4 tw clones that have been in there for almost 8 weeks they are in 8 oz containers I belive. I want to get some one gallons to transplant into all my buckets are currently occupied. I have two black cherry soda clones I got about 5 days ago I don't think they are doing to well tho. I have two 200wat hydrofarm cfl in the tent. I try to keep my pH at 6.5

Yeah, less nutes bro, especially p&k. Whats wrong with that clone? The last pic? Do you have any other plants with those dots? Cut nutrients in half, use the water/water/feed scedule untill they ask for more then go 3/4 strength and only go full strength if they get even more hungry. With tiger bloom, its pretty hard to use full strength with small plants. No more water sitting in the trays and your plants should rebound.

Wondering if you have a bug problem...

Looks like you mite have spider mites mate I had them b4 and I think there the worst of the worst(reason I don't accept cuttings from people) fear of spider mites black cherry soda. Bet that strains is banging. Turn the leaf over and look for black/reddish dot

I belive the white dots were spider mites both the black cherry soda clones had them when I got them I kept them quarantined for five days. I complety submurged the plant into water for about five mins. Spent 20 mins spraying each one down realy good. And 4 day using bug spray after.

I still take steps. Spray down everything twice. Little fuckers are sneaky.

Yea they were sprayed down for five days befor I put them in there I spray them every day still. I will continue to spray everyday until I have substantial new growth with no appearance of mites

Can anyone tell me the problem here my plant should be about an inch or two above the stick. But everything is hanging streight down.this is one of the six clones I have and the only one that is doing it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm thinking over watered. Do you wait for the container to be light (alarmingly light)? I forgot what I told you in your other thread. But, soil ph rises as it dries. If you keep it too moist it's like keeping the soil more acidic than it is.

I see K def(? I think). That would come from soil too wet, not hitting higher ph levels where K is available.

Yes I let them get realy dry before watering. Probably to dry. They are in veg so they aren't getting much k

Well, if you really mean "too dry" then maybe you're going too far. How long does it take between waterings. (I feel like we've had this conversation before. The other thread. Sorry.).
