1 week into flower and new growth dying

[Bent]

please help!

I have 12 plants in flower right now. Vegged for about a month and flipped to 12/12 8 days ago. I vegged them in half gallon pots, with straight ocean forest soil. Before switching to flower, I re-potted them into 3 1/2 gallon pots, again with straight ocean forest. So far they have been fed nothing other than RO water and General Organics CaMg+, ph'd to 6.5. Temps have been 80-82 at the top of the canopy and 25% RH.

Noticed 2 white flies a couple nights ago and sprayed them down with Ortho Elementals Incecticidal Soap 1 min before lights went off.

New growth is not looking good! Noticed them looking a bit odd yesterday, got home tonight and definitely worse! Bud sites are NOT happy.

Any ideas? They are due for watering, so I am going to flush tonight, but very worried.

Check your ph, ppm tester for accuracy. It might be f ed up.
They kinda look dried out, have u been watering enough, ?
Have u foilar fed them lately?
Your temps are a little hot,

No to the foliar feed, until 1 min ago. Watering has been regular, but it is dry here and havent been running my humidifier. Just turned that on too. Have run them several times now at this level humidity and this is the first time I have noticed a problem.

Could it be light shock? These were under t12 flouros during veg and now under 1000w hps. Never used the fluorescent lights before and they were kind of weak.

Ill have to go check my ph meter now.

 

[hiboy]

light shock is def.a possiblity. how far away are the hps?
those girls might not be hardened enough to handle that.
u might of nailed it right there...

keep the temps in the low,mid 70's and water every 3-5 days

1k's were about 18in away. Raised them up to about 30in for now. And yeah, been getting water every 3-4 days, ph meter checked out fine.

 

[hiboy]

18 is super close for freshies that were under flouries. u did right by raising them to 30

Uuuugh, I'm thinking I fried them. Never used those flouros before. I usually veg under a 400w mh bulb, but outgrew it and borrowed the flouros from a friend. Some of the bud sites are looking pretty iffy. Any tips on what to do? Leave them alone and see if they recover, or cut them off?

You already started flower so leave them alone, damage is done. You can risk reverting back to veg though.

Kind of what I'm debating now. I have revegged a plant before and remembering it taking like 3 weeks. That sound about right? I don't want to waste the next 8 on 12 plants that will have a lousy yield. Arghh.

 

[Bent]

Opinions? Almost every bud sit looks like this. Re-veg or keep it in flower?

Don't know man, hard to judge from the pic just how much damage was done. If it was enough, I'd revert them and cut the dead stuff off and spend the extra time getting them back to flowering condition again. Never know, some strains might even get tougher with that kind of treatment...sometimes these ladies like it rough bro.

ps. by up I mean all the way up for a week (as far away as possible)
