Okay, I did raise the light, but I use a t5 floro in veg and Ive always tried to get as close as I could and never had any problems.

With that said as each day goes by more and more of the plants show symptoms, so I somehow came up with this crazy concept...
soil borne pathogen virus/disease

I guess its basically like a disease of some sort that attacks the roots, so I looked at the plants roots, and found mostly white...
but with some brown speckling, and then I thought some were really brown...BUT I dont over water them, Ive never had root rot and I dont think this is that.

Even though i switched strains I used the same soil, and then when I did switch soil the old soil was still in the same grow room(mothers) so It could have easily infected the new soil.(i think)

Does this seem far fetched?...yes, but at this point Ive got nothing & I already threw away half of the plants in anger lol, as soon as the remaining plants show symptoms im gonna toss them and bleach fucking everything.

In the mean time look at the pics of the roots...what ya think?
