HELP! PICS! I have done my research but am still found wondering

i just got new clones...4 Pineapple Express, 3 Gorilla Glue, and 1 granddaddy purple. This is the first time I've received clones in "root pouches" and have narrowed down my issues (so I think) to two things: PH fluctuations or Root Rot. My Water is well water and I always let it set out for 24-48 hours even though I know that's usually for city water and its chlorine, etc. water is PH'ed at 7-7.4 at all times. I am unaware of how this guy did things but I do know that the clones were under the same light cycle of 18/6 but under a T5. My tent comprises of two 600w Eye Hortilux Blues at the moment. As for root rot, I pull one pouch out (the oldest of the clones being at my home are 3 days) to examine and I see nothing but bright white roots protruding through the smart pot type root pouches. He advised to leave them in pouches rather than take them out in any way. I have noticed constant wilting since being here, beginning of purple stems, odd curling in the leaves, and tan spotting/discoloration on some fans (some worse than others). This is difficult because if it isn't root rot and I disturb them in these pouches I have a whole new problem. I plan on getting PH up and down but I thought my PH of 7-7.4 would be acceptable to at least not cause these issues. Any help from a vet would we great, I have done research but sometimes the symptoms are the same and I'm trying to save myself another issues if any of you could point me in the right direction as these clones are obviously sensitive at this stage of life and something such as this could be detrimental. Thanks RIU.

Can't upload of course RIU has been fucked up lately I'll keep trying

were the clones trained to be custom to room humidity/low humidity?

Lower your PH to 6.5-6 see what happens. 7 should be okay but 7.4 is high.

Humidity was very low to begin with but as I added more cuttings and recalculated my hyper extraction/intake fans correctly it boosted my high humidity to 45-48% and lows 10-20%. I believe it was PH all along coupled with the light bleaching as they were put directly from T5s from the grower straight to 1600w of Eye Blues without a dimmable ballast (wish I got the dimmables now).

Thank you! I assumed that was the issue and with an unrealizable pen, I went out and bought the bluelab ec/ph pen set and turns out my PH was 7.9! God damn. Needless to say, I lowered it. Been watering at 6-6.3 since and growth has exploded and new growth is lush and healthy. Assuming the factor of getting used to the lights helped as well as it was a big jump without dimmed ballasts. Seeing some signs of CalMag and Potassium deficiencies but at least this time I can rule out the other issues! Al lthinga considered, we are back on track. Thanks for your insight!

Ph issues suck. Especially if you let your ego get involved (No way my pen is bad, I paid $$$ for it!). It sems that ph problems are a pretty common mistake, at least judging by the volume of posts. It almost wrecked my grow. Glad you sorted it all out. Grow big, man.

It was my mistake to trust that my well water straight from the spring was okay and then putting that trust in a shit pen. Live and learn! Now I know haha. Time to get a RO setup going anyway. Thanks for stopping by!
