am i just being worried??? grow virgin problems

right so here i go problem first i have 2 plants both in pics the biggest one has started to get yellow patches appearing on leaves about 5 days ago with slight brown spots apperaing over the yellow some deformed maybe??,not growing very tall there 15 days old.(ive sprayed them once a day with normal stood tap water as they look dry i water once the soil looks dry untill it drips slightly out of the bottom say every 2 days or so
the strain is a royal dutch six shooter indica feminized
id just like some reasurance they look healthy and are growing well.as im new to it any changed and my heart beats a little bit faster lol theyve become my new children :D
im using a 600w hps light in a grow tent temps are 27 celsius upto 33 humidity lights on 30-30% lights off 70-75%
westland multi purpose compost with added john innes
nutes added are 1 slow release miracle grow tablet and i added a small amount of cana A to boost N as im thinking this may be the problem?.nutes i will be using are canna cocoa a and b combined?but not to sure when to start introducing a small amount~? also some big bud stuff (molasses)etc
repotted to 5ltr pots 2 days ago as i noticed roots coming out of the other pots
water ph'd when added is 6.8(i can use a 7.8 mineral)? i tried a run off and it came back as 5.1
so ive added garden lime to the top of the soil and raked it in abit also watered with some garden lime in around a teaspoon?
these are things im going off through research but........theres so many different things
anyway heres some pics to start of and any info would be very much appreciated thanks.

Good be numerous things. Fill out the troubleshooting form please? :)

I'm no pro but may I suggest it could be related to:
-Over nutes?
-PH?
-Heat?

Relax Brah,:rastasmoke:

You have addressed the PH problem, now you need to wait and see.

The old growth will not tell you much it will likely get worse regardless of remedy.

Watch the new growth for guidance.
Be a good idea to fill out the "troubleshooting sticky" for missing details.
You will get more useful advice.

Aloha,
Weezard

yes it seems to be on old growth new growth seems quite vibrant!it stinks allready lol
do you think they look ok? as i have some more due to sprout dont wanna f it up?!

ph pen calibrated
12) Method of adjusting water ph. (phosphoric acid, white vinegar, hydrated lime, PH Up...) garden lime
13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. havent started feeding yet but on my last water i used a tiny bit of cana A to see if it was an N def
14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? i water every 1-2 days depending on dryness i water till it runs from the borttom
15) Any additives or tea's? (Superthrive, CalMag, molasses, Mother's Earth...)NO
16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate?earlly stages at the mo but id say fluxatate
17) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph? ingoing from tap today was 6.8 run off 5.1
18) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray? no i spray leaves with normal tap water though

Your growroom:
19) Indoors or outdoors?indoors
20) What size of closet, room or hut?1m 1m 2m
21) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off?light on 27c-34c if i shut the tent completley humidity around 28-35% lights off temps 19c-22c humidity 60-70%
22) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom?the odd fly floating in my bowl of water

Your strain:
23) What strain are you growing? (Indica dominate or Sativa dom?)indica
24) From seeds or clones?seed
25) Is this an autoflower strain? no
___________

Yeah my guess on this is a pH problem. You've already addressed this situation so just sit back for a week or 2 and watch the new growth that'll tell you if you're on the right track.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Another thing to help with the soil's pH is to raise your ingoing water/nute pH lvls to maybe around 7.0-7.5 pH until you get the soil runoff to start coming in around 6.1-6.5.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

ive tried tests with the water,when i add nutes (cana a and b) the ph drops my tap water after its been stood is around 6.1 to 6.8 ph could i use a mineral water with a 7.8 ph for a while till i start feeding then add nutes to it which will probably drop it to around 6.5.6.8 mark
thanks

compost plus feeding at 15 days? there is a big problem. start flushing with a ph of 7-7.5. no more nutes added for a while. your soil has a low ph and does not require extras for a while. in fact it shouldnt be used for young ones. use a simpler soil then upgrade nutes.

thanks for the info,the only nutes i have added are a minute bit of cana a ass i thought it might be N def,also a slow release miracle grow tablet...which ive now raked back out.the soil ph level is 5-6 as it states on the back of the packet when bought with nothing added..at the mo im letting them dry out..so once this is done ill just water with the best ph'd mineral water i can find buxton is 7.8 so then hopefully they will look more vibrant.
i have big new growth of better colour but the tips on a few leaves seem to point down.maybe because i have been overwatering.i havent watered for 36hours now and they seem moist enough.?

youll find this an ongoing battle so keep flushing and hope for the best. seems like the root system is shutting down aka not using water/nutes fast enough. mineral water might be bad because it might have too much ppm's. try using reverse osmosis water, at least for a while. check that out though i think we are in different regions. flushing for me always a problem...drowning. so i prefer preventitive maintnence. you said 27 celsius and then lights off 70-75% is that celsius also, because thats too much heat...way too much.

at the moment im usuing stood tap water at 6.8ph (no nutes)but i said i could use mineral water at 7.8ph just want to no what would be best at this point,lights on is 28.4 celsius ranging to 30 at the moment and consistent lights of is 20-22 celsius with a oil cooled radiator in the room not tent...there growing rapidly i see improvment everyday not so much in height just leaf span and new growth there 16 days old arounf 4 inches tall 6 inches wide?

I think you're on the right track to narrowing down your problems. My only suggestion at this point is if you move to R/O watch your Cal/Mg lvls. R/O and distilled water really open you up for Micronutrient deficiencies.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

absolutely, we will have more ??? a month from now. too much info at one time is boggling though.
