They look good to me but that one with the spotting ng light be sulphur or zinc. But I'm not sure. That one is one to post over to the infirmary just to get then to see if you're iver reacting or if you need to change up your feed a bit
Day 14 DBC
Day 14 for DBCx3BOG
Seeing faster growth now. New growth seems to be healthier. They're getting blown around a little bit but seem to be tolerating it. Turned down the light to 72W from 75W yesterday and 80W the day before. @DMHeights Too curly?

Significantly taller than DBC even though it was born half a day later. Stems are looking purple on these guys. Been reading about LST / Topping and wondering if I should try my first go around or if it would be better to learn the ropes without training. This is so fun!

Day 15
DBC was looking pretty droopy and pots were dry so watered last night 1500ml between the 2 of them with 3ml of fish shit. had about 40ml runoff each. DBC perked up this morning but they are both expressing their concerns this morning. I will have to do my research but I am going to post these in the infirmary. So hard to know for a first timer what's worth getting concerned about, but I'm here to learn either way.

Looks like the beginning of either calcium or magnesium. Im familiar with sohum soil (good stuff, just hard to find in stores).. Two things I noticed from your very 1st post..
1- filtered water. I'm sure most of the nutritional value is being filtered out with a low ppm of 58. So the water source may be lacking or low in macro nutes like calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron ect..
2- The ph.. In soil, you'll want that ph up around 6.5.. 6.0 is on the borderline of "low" uptake for calcium, magnesium, and a few others. Here's a chart that might help a little.
I know sohum soil will have everything else you'll need in it, and that it's water only for the first 4-6 weeks.. It also has crab meal as it's calcium/mag source..
So.. We know the soil has cal/mag even though the water may not have much.. That leaves the one remaining suspect, which is the ph.. I'd try raising the water ph a tad to make those nutrients a little more available.

I will get something to raise the Water PH to 6.5 - I was thinking potassium silicate. Do you think I should wait until the next watering in a few days or do some kind of flush tonight to fix the issue right away? I will have to read up on how much to flush and I’m still unsure of watering technique so I’m trying to learn about that.
I think the tap water was about 130ppm. Would I be better served without filtering even if there are some contaminants?
Thanks so much for the reply
I don't think a flush is necessary. You just need to try raising the ph of your water the next time you water your plants. Filtered/RO/Distilled water lacks nutrients that tap water naturally has, including calcium. Your soil has a calcium source in it, so the filtered/non filtered water thing doesn't really matter right now. I'd focus more on the ph of the water you're using. If you have some epsom salt lying around or at a store close by, you could use 1 tsp per gallon of water as a cal/mag foliar spray. That will get the nutes directly to the plant through its leaves.

The new pictures look great buddy,
Instead of "tacoing" along the center I've noticed sometimes along the edges of the leaves will curl up when the lights are stressing them. just noticed that edge curl ever so slightly in the first dbc pic, so I was simply agreeing with your choice to reduce the intensity of the lights,
probably shouldn't have said anything, I'm new too, I didnt mean to alarm you mate
I'd listen to @Prophetiko and @Bigg Al
Happy growing and
