Weird thin new growth and some discoloring

[TNToothpick]

In the process of transplanting these 7 ladies into their final home and I’ve noticed on most of them the new growth is thin, twisting, and some discoloring and dying leaves. I know I’m not overwatering, I water when the pot is light and even see a little drooping. From a little research I’ve read possibilities are too much light, rapid new growth, and low Rh. Any ideas?

FFOF soil
watered with 6.5 ph’d tap water
Day/Night temps ~82/65F
7 plants under 4 Spiderfarmer 2000’s and 1 Spiderfarmer 4000 set around 30” above canopy (Too much???)
Rh is low right now around 30% but I’ve been misting them and working to fix that problem

What sizes pots? How much water do they get and how often?

What sizes pots? How much water do they get and how often?

The small pots are 1 gal and I’m in the process of transplanting to 5 gal fabric pots. I water when the pot is light, probably every couple of days.

What’s all this white stuff on your plants?

 

[BurnzYzBudZz]

I don’t like the looks of those swollen, fat leafs. That’s a sign of early mite damage. Or a pH issue. If you’re not overwatering I hope it’s a pH issue.

*edited. WhTz the PPM of the tap you’re using.

How much do you give the 5 gal pots? How much for 1 gal.

The white looking stuff is just water where I’d misted them to try and get the moisture back up in the tent. Shit I hope it isn’t mites!

probably about 16 oz for the 1 gal and I just put those in the 5 gal so I haven’t watered them other than when I transplanted them.

I had an infestation and my growth looked almost identical to yours. Puff leafs, weird twisted growth. The leafs start getting crispy. Couldn’t find my issue until I got a 40x microscope. It’s a tough one because mites hatch every three to five day’s.

My one gal pots get 40-50oz to get minimal runoff. Imo you water too little too often.

Water more and I’d also scope for mites. Happy grows.

PPM is around 110. I’m not sure how I’d have a ph issue, I let the tap sit out for 24hrs then ph it down from around 7 to 6.5.

ok interesting I’ll give them some more and see if they perk up.

They won't perk up until you water properly. Water slowly an evenly until saturated to runoff then let them dry all the way. If it only takes 16oz to get runoff, you're not letting them dry enough. Water your one gal to runoff and weigh it. Weigh everyday until it loses 3-3.5 pounds. Then water again.
