New problems, could use a hand!

[Indimaniac]

So I went and got new soil and pots for my new sprouts that I'm #$%#*- pumped about by the way!!! Anyways I use ocean forest for my veg, and happy frog for my seedlings.... I think the local hydro shop sent me home with a bag of happy frog infested with pests!! Last night I was looking at my sprouts in their new pots and soil only to notice a almost invisible tiny clearish looking insect I could tell how many leggs antennae or anything else it had as I put my finger on it to kill it and with its small size I lost it... I'd say it was about the size of this period "." On my phone screen this mourning I went down to water and found a few all along the black rims of my new pots, now my veg room (8x10) is set up with a vanity closet against one wall and a table for my bigger plants I'm not seeing anything on my bigger plants however upon thorough investigation I found a few spotted leaves and a little faint yellow trail of streakish spots along another(ill post pics) I'm freaking the freak frack out!! I've never had a pest in the last two yrs anyways I'm thinking these might be spider mites!? Anyways I have been having another problem that I'm sure must be something I'm doing but I had in the past had an issue with Ph I got some drops, and found my small plants were in 4.0 or lower runoff!!! Thinking it was the peat pellets I flushed roots and potted Into happy frog wich I've been using since then into ocean forest well I'm watering with well water at 7.0 at the tap, and my soils were at 6.5-7.0 (runoff) in all my investigating today I found a yellowish salty build up around the drain holes in my pots, and the dried soil also has this residue on it at first I was thinking it was the soil a few days ago but now I'm realizing I have a run off of 4.0 or lower again!!!! My plants soil is turning to acid!!! Why are all my soils slowly turning so acidic!!??

Attachment 290123 Attachment 290124Attachment 290124 these are the current set up on the veg table... 5 plants

[Indimaniac]

One vegging in the middle, and four small ones in the outskirts of the 1k watter as they seem to like it better than the 400w fluresant cabinet lights I have fAttachment 290125our seedlings in the cab the 4 seedling in the cab have the new soils and as I said what appears to be spider mites the sticky traps seem to have consumed most of them already though surprisingly, as I haven't seen any Attachment 290125tonight...Attachment 290125

I don't know what's happening with these pics there being all goofy on me here... the first post showed the veg table with the pot and 4cups(seedlings) and the pics on the right are the cab were I was finding spider mites I think anyway and this William show you the yellowing leaves on my vegging plant that I mentioned originally.. this is also the plant that's Ph is 4.0 or lAttachment 290126ower

Im wondering if that last seedling pic is sign of light burn? It is about 32in from the light but is in the outskirts of its concentration...

Ok so hopefully this will help to identify my problems.. can someone give some insight anyone seen this? This is the same yellow streaking/spots on the older ones they star as little light dotted streaks and turn brown, I wanna adress this before it progresses.. I have also found my Ph issue to be ongoing... I repotted my big girl, because its soil was at 4.0 or less, with repotting into fresh ocean forest that was at 6.5ish and the tap water(well water) is 6.5 after rotting and flushing I was at 5.0!? What the hell, I potted my seedling in the same manner but into happy frog I watered for the first time, after potting 5days ago when potted they were at 6.5 now they are at 5.0!!??? I don't get what I'm doing thatsturning my soil to turn to acid!? Also all the dirt looms like it has salty residue on the top layer when dry as well as the soil around the holes show build up of yellowish salty looking residue around drain holes... any input!???

Stop transplanting them #1 YOUR going to kill them by doing that.

#2 if your having PH issues, pull out a cup of water from the tap, test the PH, let it sit 24 hours, then test it again. THAT is the variation in your PH, and that is EXACTLY WHY every sticky guide on basic soil growing tells you to let your water sit for 24 hours.

Sorry if this is coming off brash, I have a big heart for plants, it just about killed me when my first good seeds died from my 'over loving'

[Indimaniac]

Ya see I'm not a noob like that bud lol all my water sits for 48 hours before being used and is tested multiple times when my water sits if anything at all after a longer period of time its Ph actually goes up not down...

And trust me I'm just as over loving prone too and repotting is a good way to keep even root grown and won't hurt anything at safe intervals I'm not repotting for fun and I didn't break dirt off or anything like that I was actually transferring for its final Depot for flower, but I wanna stabilize it for ten days or so before actually starting flower...
