First Grow Please HELP! Colors on Leaves and Plant Looks Tired

12/10/2016 - My plant leaves have been dying, mainly the bottom leaves and I'm noticing spots and some clawing. I've tried better regulation of room temperature and ventilation. Reduced the amount of NUTES and waterings, also I've stop using the spray bottle to mist leaves with water. Still no real change. So I've decided to switch to P.H.'d soil and just add water(Ocean Forest) and now I'm waiting to see a change. In the mean time I would like to know if anyone has any ideas as to why the leaves are looking the way they do? Am I'm expecting too much when I compare what I'm growing to the leaves of other plants that look super healthy, dark green, thick, firm and juicy? My leaves sound fall leaves blowing in the wind and feel thin. Any suggestions? Details Below...... PLANT PICTURES

BTW the OG & AutoPounder seem fine but you be the judge. The OG has no spots and the AP has spots, they are the two smaller plants in the picture both 3" tall planted on Nov. 23 [week 2].

I'm growing 4 Candy Cane Fem Autos from CK and (1)Westcoast OG & (1)AutoPounder both are Fem Autos from FB. I've been using a 4ft 4bulb HO 54w T5, planted in cocoir and using the Flora series(Mirco, Grow, Bloom), P.H. between 5.5 - 6.0 on a 18/6 schedule with 1 clip fan and 1 larger oscillating fan. Temperatures range 70-80 °C. On 12/9 I switched to an 4ft 8bulb HO 54w T5 and placed the 4ft 4bulb T5 horizontally behind the plants and transplanted the 4 CC's from a 2 gallon into a 3 gallon fabric pot with Ocean Forest Soil as the new nutrients instead of cocoir hydro with Flora. The same was done for the Westcoast and Autopounder but was moved from being hydroponically grown in dixie cups into 2 gallon fabric pots with OF soil.

4 CC Autos: Planted[2 Gallon fabric pots] Nov.6 the Heights are as of 12/10[Week 4.9] #12 = 11", #11 = 10.5", 4 = 8" & 1 = 6" these plants are number based on first sign of sprouted leaves. They were given NUTES every other day and was watered in between.

You need to ph to 6.5`ish now you are in soil instead of the 5.8`ish when you were using coco etc

I assume I won't need to regulate the Ph with Ocean Forest soil based on numerous product reviews and growers that have used the soil before?
