These were the strains I chose for my first grow while I worked on getting my setup up and running, and became a more experience grower before planting my dream strains (like federation’s Hawaiian Sativa and some ACE Seed strains). They are under a 400w MH and a 65W full spectrum CF to cover the dark areas. They are also moved to the south facing window when the sun is out (which they LOVE! 
The frame I just bought about a week ago is about 5 feet in width, a bit under 3 feet in depth, and 5.5 feet in height. Reflective sheets and ducts will go up soon.
They have been in veg for about 2 months now. I wanted them mature enough to be able to take a few clones as i want to do some small scale breeding ( I want to pollinate them if worthy with what will hopefully be a male in my next grow).
I had just transplanted them about 1 and a half week ago after flushing. The soil consists of organic potting soil bought at a supermarket for flowering plants, and I added about 20% worm castings and some fox farm seafood marine cuisine, as well as some flowering bat guano which I also layered on top of the old soil area. Beneficial fungal spores were also added to the mix. This is the same mix I used in their original pots, minus the flowering bat guano.
I had just noticed a problem with scales creeping up the main stems, which I originally overlooked as being air-root bumps, and hopefully I took care of that with some tobaccos juice first applied with q-tips, and some olive/lavender/rosemary/eucalyptus oil mix. It seems to be workings as they are turning a rusty color now. I also have noticed about 1 or 2 small flies hanging around, which I fear could be fungus knats, but I rarely see them. If they persist (like if I see more than 2 at a time), I will take action ASAP.
Since the flush/transplant, I have been experiencing what seems like a mg deficiency, especially with the Jamaican. Though it may be a bit hard to see in the pics, i would greatly appreciate some help on this diagnosis. I originally though they were N deficient, so after adding that without success, it became a bit clearer as to what it could be. This over N addition is what I think explains the clawing and the rusty leaf tips. I had been adding epsom salt sporadically to the waterings, but perhaps not enough. The PH seems to be at 6.8-7, though due to un-ideal testing methods, I cannot say with full confidence (I have a in soil cheap PH tester, which hovers around 7-6.8, and tested the upper layer of the old soil area by mixing a bit into neutral water and using my aquarium PH tester, which reads 7). I just gave them a bit of epsom salt, honey (which i have been consistently using along with a few drops of hydrogen Peroxide in most waterings), and some dolomite lime (done after these pics), but I fear with all my urgent attempts to add what I think is missing, some over watering may be taking place (ideally, I would want at least a day to go by between waterings, even though my cheap in soil moisture monitor says the soild is dry, even though I know it is not!). I also fear that the bat guano's high P content may have caused a lockout, though I will hold off a bit on a flush until I know for sure that nothing else is working.
Any advice and comments would be greatly appreciated!
