    How far from the lights? ~3.5 feet but were at 2.5 feet earlier

    What, how much and when was it fed? NPK? Mostly smallboy H20, roots excel, and  drip clean. 1 H&G 2 part feed and 1/2 strength cal mag at ~600ppm. One calmag foliar spray yesterday with 300ppm calmag and water.
    What is the medium/runoff pH and PPM if in hydro? Unknown, can check at next watering.
    What are the temps and humidity in the room? 75 degrees, 30% Humidity.
    What size pots? 7 gal.
    Any bugs? Look real close. No.
    Any other pertinent info? Yes, see below. Recently transplanted.
     
    Please help!
     
    I bought these chocolopes in week 5 of Veg. They were in 7gal bags of coco, and I wanted to transplant them into Smart Pots. So, carefully I trimmed the rootball (which I've done successfully before on mothers) to fit the smart pot and repottted them 1 week ago today.
     
    They weren't doing too much for 3 or 4 days due to the transplant, then all of a sudden over the last few days things have gone downhill quick and I'm worried.
     
    I did do a foliar spray of sm90 (1 parts to 5 water) mixed with azamax (low dose) as a preventative spray shortly after the transplant. I also sprayed with tap water the next day to make sure the Stomata was clear. It's worth noting that the azamax and sm90 are 2 years old, but have been stored in cool, dark storage. 
     
    Since the transplant I've mostly been watering with water from the small-boy filter, roots excellerateur and drip clean. I did do one feeding before they took a turn for the worse with H&G 2 part base and 1/2 strength cal-mag at 650ppm.
     
    To me, the problem looks like a magnesium deficiency. But I don't know how it could get out of hand so quickly, especially when I added 1/2 strength cal-mag to a feed. I did a folair spray of cal-mag yesterday and a light watering with 300ppm, only cal-mag in filtered water. I have only fed them this one time since problems arose to minimize the amount of things that could be contributing to the problem.
     
    pH and PPM have been kept between 5.6-6.0 using a blue lab meter. 
     
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! The leaves are becoming so twisted they are curly-cueing. I'm worried and sad :(

  2. Have you calibrated your meter? It looks like a pH issue.
     
  3.  
    Sure have. With pH 4 and 7, it reads spot on.
