Still looks like burn not def. Just keep watering without feeding until your leaves normal out, almost looks like you have nitrogen toxicity and possibly soil is too hot.

Its 9+ gallons of container and temp is around 30C/86F near lamps but much lower on container level (25C/77F).

If it still could be the problem, any suggestions to cool down the soil? btw I have a small fan blowing towards plants all day in order to keep cfl's as close as possible without causing hotspots near foilage.

My soil is %80 peat(!?) %20 perlite.

just by the way, when people say "soil is too hot" i think they are not referring to the temperature. They are saying that the soil has an abundance of nutrients. Hence HOT soil will give you a nutrient burn. Your temperatures are fine. Nutrients are the issue here.

I think its better to start 12/12 when girls are healty enough. but they are growing so fast, I hope the grow space will be enough (even with fimming! :) )

yea I know, when the new growth starts seeming healty I'll switch 12/12. If everything goes well, they'll be ready end of july. (white widow flowering period: 8 weeks). fingers crossed.

You have gone from one problem to another. I think the original problem was overwatering, to correct this you burned it , then you gave it a rough house transplant thinking that would solve the issues, also you stressed it by fimming it. Never transplant a sick plant.

Latest pics. pH blanced water nothing else. Much healtier than before but do you think they are ready for 12/12? Or i should wait another week or 2 to regain their health?

Close pic is the newest grow but new growth on lower branches are healty green.

i thought about it and this is what i reckon you should do.

Go 12/12 right away and start researching for your next grow. These plants are not happy. Maybe the 12/12 cycle will revive them and maybe at the end of the day u will get some decent weed. But I would look to the future... get this grow finished and start planning for ur next one which will surely be more successful !

this is the best thing I can tell you for future reference. When growing cannabis LESS IS MORE. Young vegging plants don't need very much food. Once you water you need to let it dry out a good bit. It's all about finding those points where you have to feed or have to water , and not feeding or watering when it's not needed. If your soil is still moist on top, you don't water. If yur leaves are still green you don't feed. Don't be proactive, be reactive. Watch the plant and the soil for cues on what you should do. As long as you don't neglect you won't underwater.

Say hi to a new problem!!

One plant got those spots, picture covers almost every spot. It looks like something dropped and bleached it. They also look like a little pink.

Please advise:/

update: it seems flowering was the solution after all :) they still have some problems but far more better than before.

now i need some side/bottom lights because light penetration of cfls sucks.

gonna post pics later for more advices

thanks again

fix over-watering, maybe some extra air..........re-assess in a few days. keep those temps down. when you break the Rules of Ideal Growing Conditions, you must be punished, and cannabis will oblige.
