Day 14 update
Off to a smashing start! The first plant is growing brilliantly, even with the pH slightly off! The little one is growing fine too, just lagging a little behind because of a failed germination
pH problems are still present, but I've got straight onto that. As you can see from the below pictures, I have mixed quite a lot of lime into each pot. The reason one is so white is just because of all the lime on the surface, it'll be gone in the next watering.
Topped up the bigger plants soil as well. Dug around it with a trowel, lifted it out gently and stuck some more BioBizz light in, being cautious to avoid roots. Gonna add a bit more lime in on the next watering to fix the pH of the new soil
So all is going well so far! I think the CO2 and LED's are definitely doing their thing this time around.

I came back to look in my tent today and I found this..
I'm VERY close to derooting both plants and starting fresh. This soil is fucking AWFUL to be honest, it's a disgusting pH 5.6 out of the bag. It's more work to get the pH right on this soil than it is to grow the plant..
I've posted in the cannabis infirmary for help, because if this doesn't improve very quickly then I'm ripping it all up and starting new with some DECENT soil. It started when I did my transplant, so I'm thinking it's pH extremes in the new soil and the old soil.

To be honest I'm really, really angry with it. This soil has been nothing but problems and already my grow is sabotaged right from the beginning. I'm gonna go order some more soil, if I'm going to grow this plant then it's going to be a good one or nothing. I can't afford to be restricted by shitty soil.
J-Tang recommended some Plagron soil, so I'm gonna order some light mix. If that turns out to be a shitty pH as well then I'll just fix it myself before planting.

Aye Bill TaNg turned me on to it too, using it with my AutoX, no problems so far. Good luck fella!!
