Soil pH problems!

Ok, thanks for the tips. Here we go.

As @pedally said in the comments 5 plants for a second grow could be challenging. But it just kinda happened and I’m not one to back down from a challenge, so here we are!

Before listing each plants info it should be noted that all 5 had a rough start. I thought I was set up pretty good and wasn’t sure why my plants weren’t doing much. They were, but very slowly. A couple didn’t even make it. And there were a couple that I thought weren’t going to make it so I planted a couple more lol. And I planted the GG4 about 5 weeks ago cause why the heck not? Well, it took me awhile to figure out that the wattage of your light may not be what is advertised and that I should be measuring what is actually being pulled out of the wall. I didn’t have nearly enough light. I adjusted everything so that both my auto tent and my photo tent had the right amount of light. That changed everything pretty dramatically and things were going pretty well for a while. But the photos vegged for quite awhile and they both started flowering on their own a few weeks after the lights were adjusted. As soon as I noticed this I switched them to 12/12. Autos are 18/6.
