Also recommend you check the ppm of your well water to ensure it’s high enough to hold an accurate pH

If you have a ph meter, id run a soil slurry just to see where your soil ph sits. Ive seen a couple complaints across the forum over the last few months about Happy Frog and other FF soils with the ph tanked outta the bag.

I’ve fixed the water… today. The TS-1000 is supposedly a 150 W setup, but I think I need at least 200w. I’ll start looking. (this is a weird size tent - 2.3 x 2.3) Thanks for helping me

Thanks for the tip. I have 32 PPM well water.

That looks great!
Is that Well pH before added nutes?
What’s pH after adding nutes?
Sorry if I missed that 
Update: It’s been a week since I transplanted. Plants are alive but not growing… not even a centimeter. Leaves looking dry and thin… almost brittle.
Out of desperation, I re-potted the two Acapulco Gold plants (rinsed as much of the Ocean Forest off as I dared.
Rinsed off
Re-potted in coir/perlite
There were some white roots, but maybe some rotted also. I carefully placed them in 70/30 coir/perlite. I uploaded a couple of pics. I left the two Purple Haze plants in the FFOF, as I had to order more 70/30, I will re-pot those on Saturday.
Thanks to all the great advice I have been given on this forum, I have made some changes.
Modifications:
- Only using my well water… TDS about 32 ppm
- Going forward only Cultivation Nation 70/30 growing medium
- Using GH Flora Series 1/2 strength in water for the AG plants (well water for the PH plants).
- Upgrading lighting to SF2000Pro on Saturday.
Am I missing something? Its crazy that no growth has occurred. In my first grow the plants almost doubled in size from wk2 to wk 3.
Well PH is about 6.4.
I added GH flora series and PH is now 6.1

Hope they perk back up. Color looks good.
Now transplant shook for a week or so 
Yes, I figured that may happen. They just was going from bad to worse… Also, I wasn’t 100% sure that the FFOF was the problem. It could have easily been the high (8.0) PH spring water. Only 6.4PH well water from now on.

You’ll still want to do a slurry test of your soil because at 32 tds your well water won’t hold it’s own pH and will adopt the pH of the soil.
No, I was testing out different ways to get more light to the plants. I have a spider farmer 2000 coming today to swap out my old Marshydro 1000. Good eye!

I’m going to do that today, thanks!

Update: I received so many helpful hints form all of you, much appreciated. I repotted all back into 2 gal fabric pots, threw away the FFOF and put the lightly rinsed root balls into fresh 70/30 coco mix . The A. Gold was re-potted about 4 days before the Purple haze.
I don’t know for sure that the drooping was from Ocean forest nutes, but they wre really not doing well in there. Could have been a bad batch… who knows?
First two days water only, then I started using GH Flora Trio. The Purple haze are still a little stunted, but the AG is going gangbusters. I’m think of adding Calimagic at 1tsp/gal. Is that advised in coco mediums?
I am watching the VPD and PH religiously.
Thanks to all of you that got me through this issue!
