i need help please - ive been doing a little research and i think my problem is ph and nitrogen related - maybe some overwatering -they are about 2 weeks old

my leaves are very light green - some of the lower ones are curling and have brown/black spots on them - they look pretty sick

I started them in miracle grow (i know) and just changed them to bigger pots and some new soil two days ago. im ph ing the water and have just started a high nitrogen fert (its also miracle grow 24-8-16 if anyone has any comments on that) - i have only watered them once since i changed the soil.

i dont know if there was a lockout from the ph levels earlier or what but they arent really getting better yet. do i need to flush them out and then start feeding them? or should i do something else - i dont know - im worried

no they look more like these two pictures combined - with a little bit of curling - the newer top leaves are looking pretty good - but the lower ones are having trouble

also the lower leaves on some are pretty bad-like crunchy almost- but the new ones look really good now - will the old ones come back to life or should i trim them off? or does it not matter really? i mean right now they are drooping badly and have some dark brown in them.

thanks guys
 
Just leave the leaves on, they will fall off on their own. the plant can rejuvenate yellowing leaves, but not necrotic(Dead/crispy) areas. AS long as new growth is looking good you will probably recover.
 
Yeah I had like 20 leaves on my last grow like that on one of my plants and I cut them off, ended up stunting the growth of the plant so bad it died.
