Closet CFL First Attempt.

I like to start off by saying that the seeds / genetics are unknown. They've been growing for a little over two weeks, a over the weekend they were transplanted into the bigger pots. I'm looking to get advice on light placement, if they look healthy, and possible prediction of sex. I need advice of what measures i should take for bugs given my space, etc. Here's a gander at them. I've also got a question what color temperature i should veg with right now I've got a mixture of of CCT ratings in my lights. The grow room stys at 68-74 degree's. I use filtered water. Hopeful you guys can help and give me good feedback!

Also second to last, 5th to last, 6th to last, and second on the pictures. Are the problem plants the 2nd to last the bottom leafs looks yellow and the tip of the leaf on the left looks yellow. on the second and 5th to last they appear to have to brown dots i was wondering if anyone could diagnose that. Also what nutrients should I use. And when would be a god time to introduce the low stress method? https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journal-discussion/403562-closet-cfl-first-attempt.html here's a link to my discussion journal or you can post here, doesn't matter to me.

they look fine right now. you need to test and balance the ph, that is always the 1st step in solving nutrient probs. how many watts are your cfls. what ever the answer may be, you need more. stick with all white lights, it your 1st grow keep it simple. more nitrogen for veggie and less for flowering. they look a bit small to lst now but it can be done real soon. when its time to flower all i can say is more light. keep the cfls as close as possible to avoid stretching and keep the plants cool with a fan so they dont get burnd. prepare for odor control now. good luck

I have a PH tester, but have yet to test in this stage of veg what PH should I be aiming for? Also for veg I'll be looking for lights essentially with a high CCT rating like 5,000 +? I justed raised the lights before I took the picture on the assumption that they need to get a bit taller. Also I keep the window open and put a fan on them for about 15-20 mins a day. I'll update with wattage later tonight. Thanks for your advice!

Quick update I checked the PH levels and they all are 7. There's one that's a 7 and like 1/4th that has some brown on the tips on one of the leaves. The wattage for my bulbs vary true white CFL was 27, the big CFL is 68, the last CFL is 42.

Subed. They look good. Can't wait to see what happens.

Thanks, adding another true white / reflector of the weekend. Update with pictures soon.

most reccomend 6.0-6.5.. 7 is a bit high. thats probly the problem.

Thanks man.

So new update, I've got 2 more lights. My plants have a deficiency (more then likely magnesium). I clipped some of the leaf. This deficiency also seems to be apparent in 2 of the plants. It would be much appreciated if i could get a diagnosis and a solution for what I need. Stay green

Also note I took them off their cycle for a few seconds for it is why i suspect the reason for the small one drooping.

So quick update I foliar fed them with epsom salts and got more nutrients fingers crossed.

Updates?

Well I'm in need of some major advice. ever since I sprayed the epsom salts white dots appeared if someone could clarify that it is or isn't in-fact powdery mildew that would be helpful. Also some pest seems to be eating one of them. I have the fan on them now but I saw tiny bugs hopping around the bottom. I need advice as to should I kill the plant or what should be done?? Also they've outgrown their pot and the only plant that wasn't showing signs of problems now is. Should I water them tonight or try to repot them tomorrow? Are they even worth repotting is what it all comes down to. I need some worthwhile advice, i'm in a tough situation any advice would be much appreciated.

Update, so got rid of the rubbermaid, and changed the setup a bit. Have run into some problems with the only plant that didn't have a problem. I think it might be transfer shock? Or a nute deficiency, but I'm not sure yet. Also I posted a picture if anyone could try to guess the sex. They're now on 12/12 stating 2 days ago.
