Um your soil is ick.
At this point, the best thing you can do is flush the living CRAP out of it.
I know this is an experimental grow, but if you've got those time capsule things, it's possible to create more prblems feeding chemical ferts.
If you can find that fish emulsion, it's great stuff since it also seems to buffer the pH as I believe it has ground fish skeletons as well= calcium= GREAT for sick pot plants.
Gads... good luck! It'll be sweet if you can bring those plants around! You will learn a LOT about troubleshooting your garden!

What do you mean by flush? is my soil that bad, do I have to transplant? Are those capsules that dangerous?

Same old problem
Transplanting IS an option.
Some people like thos elittle capsule things but the wood chips worry me, and wood, as it decomposes, actually robs the soil of nitrogen! That's why you should avoid horse manure from a stable that uses sawdust bedding for the critters.
To flush, put your plant in the bathtub and run 3 gallons of tepid water for every gallon of soil in the pot through it. That will clear out excess crap in the dirt.

O.K. So I bought some new lights (flos), and I got a new plant food (19-6-12), how does that look. do you think thats enough N. Also I found this food thats 6-12-6 how does that sound for flowering. these are both time release that you just putin the soil. I still didn't do that flush thing. Do I need to? I don't want to end up killing it.

Do you know your PH of the water run off? What's the PH of the water you're giving them?

O.K. It's been a few days now, it is looking a little better I guesss, it still has a few yellow leaves so I'm not sure if the new food is helping but I think it will start to adjust soon. . .

My girlfriend has some Ph strips at her work so I am going to try to see where I'm at with that. I am going to also try to give a night period to get the roots settled.
