still no better/ what am i doing wrong

You need a psychic to expect good answers based on no information other than a few pictures.
Go and read everything you can that you think applies.
Things will start to make sense after a while.
Asking questions on forums usually gets all sorts of answers, some good and some bad.
Without a basic understanding you can't tell which is which.
Read lots and you will be in better position to help yourself.
Looks like a deficiency of some sort, over watering, under watering, over fertilizing, ph issues, can all look the same. More peices of the puzzle are required to get any sort of useful answer.

Looks to me like you waiting too long to start feeding and the plants got hungry. Then you started feeding and plants are showing some light tip burn. Doesnt actually look to bad. I would continue doing what your doing, going easy on the nutes for a bit and they should come around just fine. Thats my 2cents
not light burn t5's
i have been feeding but when they were in solo cups i gave them one feed of an ec 1'0 which made they leaves go very dark green and thick so i transplanted
im not sure???

take 3 feet of soil mix in a 1lb of espoma tomato tone and a lil Epsom salts 1/5 cup mixed into some perlite Thus a water only grow .This would be good when u transplant right before flower . if u use this mix on bottom 3rd of potters i.e 5-7 gallon potter u should only need to water only .The key to this is transplanting right before flower into this mix. Maybe use a 3 gallon or something and use same method bottom of container 1 gallon of soil mixed with perlite and espoma tomato tone . This will break down slowly and feed the plant as needed . while u only use water and no ferts and have pure organic nugs
Espoma Tomato tone 15$ 8lbs is organic has mycos and is granular organic fertilizer has tons of organic goodies in it and u can buy it at walmart and Epsom salts covers mag issues . Epsoms is in pharmacy section 4$
Just a thought to make things easy on u
Another thing u can do is
buy block of peat moss (walmart) 10$
2 bags of perlite 10$
1 bag of Epsom salts and a cup 4$
1 bag tomato tone or 4lbs if bag is bigger then 4lb bag 8$
2 handfuls of potash (ash from a fire that used no chemicals) FREE
and use it same way use it on bottom 3rd of the potter after mixed up and cooked
Add a small bag of earth worm castings and really set it off
Cook it in a tote or trashcan
Cooked means . Put in a large container and sealed after wetting it down really good . This takes 3-6 weeks to make a really high yielding soil for mj in containers
The top 2/3rds of the potter should be plain soil of any sort mixed with perlite Use a bagged soil with no added fertilizers this allows plants to grow a bit before roots hit the organics in the bottom 3rd of the potter
Non super soil recipe or non ferted soil recipe I like is
30-50% perlite, - 70-50% peatmoss ,1/2 cup of lime or woodash added per 3ft of peat
This is the easiest way to grow imo .As all u have to do is water it
U could also rock maxibloom at 3-5 grms a gallon and call it a day use it after every 3 waterings

Hey man how much experience do you have doing it this way with espoma tomato? I saw that exact stuff yesterday and it caught my eye.
That soil looks real chunky and mulch like with not much drainage... Going to be hard to learn in that is I think what dude was saying... Just buy the wal mart mix and add Epsom ....
Plant looks ok to me but foliar feed and staying feed water cycle should green up more, I'd transplant soon too into the better mix.

Granger man im going to have to disagree on this one with you. Looks waterlogged and overwatered. maybe roots werent that established in the clone to start with ?
looks like nute defs due to overwatering dont think they look happy there droppy asking for oxygen.
Let the dry out dont water until it gets light. Your tap seems a little hard to but thats just me.
