NEED HELP working through a issue

Basic INFO and starting:

ROOM: I have a sealed room no air in or out(excluding me walking in and out) and I supplement with C O2 at 1300PPM.
PLANTS: currently I have gorilla glue 4 and Bruce banner 3.
SOIL: I veg them in ocean forest for 4 weeks or until they reach my 2nd rung on the cage: this time when I transplanted at fl ower I put them in 707.
LIGHT: I VEG with two 600W MH bulbs: I flower with 4 1k DE HPS bulbs.
Humidi ty: 45-50%
PH: 6.5
last feeding: 1k PPM going in 298 in runoff basic water at my house is 170-180ppm
Temp: night time 68-70 day 85-88
nutrients: I use botanicare line and keep it simple: in new dirt I week them onto nutrients first week nothing 2nd week 40% and work my way up to full feedings.
Pots: I veg them in 1 gal pots at flower I transplant them to 5 gal pots

OK I think that's about it if I missed anything please ask away:

The ISSUE: my plants were going great the last 4 weeks nothing at all and as healthy as they could be. two days ago they all reached the right size to get them going into flower. so I pulled them out of they vag pots I open the root ball up on the bottom a bit and transplant them into the new 5gal homes. at the same time I lollipop them up and water them so I have a lot of runoff making sure everything is soaked though. and placed them under the flower lights.

end of day one: I noticed a few larger fan leafs with spots on them. I thought maybe th

owed up so I was thinking maybe the lights are too intense so I cut all ballasts back to 600watts.

I feel like I am shooting in the dark here so any information of guidance would greatly help and if I am lacking in detail please let me know I can add anything

pics would help....
what exactly is the problem? what is "alot of white" that showed up? pwder mildew? lite burn?

what color are the spots on teh fan leaves?
be aware that those DE's need 2 feet from the canopy minimum, im guessing you gave them too much light too quickly... need to harden them off to that intense DE lite.

...yeah man, i can see your pics fine although i'm not a soil grower so any help i can offer will be very general and maybe not on point.

...anyway, the first thing i'd suggest is that you take a few more pics including a few that show more of the plant, it's much harder for anyone to diagnose your problem just looking at a few leaves.

...then, to make a guess at your problem i'd say maybe a calcium deficiency possibly caused by 'overwatering', ...going from 1 gallon containers to 5 gallon containers in soil all in a single jump means there is 4 gallons of totally empty media that will hold all that water for a very long time with no roots to drink it up, ...then when you add in all the other stress from your roughing up the rootball AND the defoliation of your lollipopping, well, if it were me i'd be watering in small measured doses of say 2 to 3 cups at a time until i started to see some new growth.

...i'd also not be flipping my gurls until AFTER i started seeing new growth in the new, much larger pots, ...you've put them through a bit of shit and they now need a bit of time to settle into the new pots and stretch their toes out, so to speak.

...anyway, like i said, i'm not a soil grower so FAR from expert, hopefully one of the soil experts will chime in with more help now that your pictures are visible, ...and don't forget to post a few more, you can never have too many pics when you're dealing with a problem.

peace, bozo

it is 100% light burn IMO, it will only affect older growth and as soon as roots catch back up they will take off!

You have already taken the right step lowering the out put, but I would up it every 2-4 days as plant adjusts. the lolli poping should lower demands on roots that also is a plus. I would just focus 100% on root health for e few days, and keep an eye on the plant near the last couple hrs of light cycle. if leaves hit parallel with soil I turn lights off to help roots stay ahead of the game.

higher humidity or slight coating of leaves will also help, as will foliar feeding or even washing leaves with water every day.its all about the roots though IMO. also excess wind will strip moisture from leaves so fans could be more harm than help before moulds/stagnant air is as much an issue.
