What is wrong with my leaves?

Hey guys. I've tried adjusting pH, I moved the plants into Ocean Forest soil two days ago, also transferred to fabric pots on Friday. I've been doing pH adjusted water and pH adjusted veg cycle ferts. Here are the leaves. Really not sure why they look like this.

I think a little magnesium might help. The darker veins in relation to the paler leaf can be a sign of mag or potassium deficiency. Since you just re-potted to a quality soil it doesn't make sense that it would be any type of deficiency though. Is it an auto?

Thats my thoughts exactly. I just upgraded to some clean good ass soil so IDK why there would be a deficiency. It is an autoflower seed. Strain is gelato OG
 
Maybe a tad of transplant shock? Or ph in root zone is not right imo. Like crucialbunny said doubt it is a deficiency as new soil. I normally dont do runoff test in fabric pots as i get salt deposits on outside of pot later into grow which taints runoff ph but since you just put them in it might be ok to test to see what ph is in root zone. Just spit-balling.

My guess is that maybe the soil is too low pH and I'm adding pH lowered water so the roots might be way too low in pH. I'll measure runoff water later tonight and let you guys know though. I doubt thats the issue. Also since it's an autoflower, should I start flowering soon or will it do that automatically? I wish I Had more time to veg since the plants are still small.

Also to mention the plants are about week six or seven now.
 
If nothing is environmentally wrong then i would guess it is a genetic issue though if roots got damaged in transplant it just may be having issues up-taking nutes and showing deficiencies. If auto it should start flowering automatically though occasionally an "auto" seed doesnt have the ruderalis gene. I feel you should see flowering pretty soon. If not then it may be a non auto auto.
 
It's to soon to tell after transplant, add a little cal-mag to your water cycle. make sure to raise your pot for air flow underneath. and give her a week or two to snap out of it. She'll flower when she's ready, and I give autos light 24/7. Patience.

How do I get air flow underneath? My guess now is that it's something with the roots. I've been ensuring all the water going into the plant is proper pH, and considering my soil is OCean Forest I doubt the pH is an issue, also since the leaves aren't wilting or dying, only discolored.

More than likely calmag deficiency. I'll add some with water tomorrow.

I also picked up some silica booster.
 
Legit just added the wire fencing like how you have yours so they no longer sit in a puddle when they drain. I'm gonna get tops like that tomorrow.

pH tested fine from runoff. I'm gonna get some calmag tomorrow and do a few doses of that. Also ordered the silica booster, when should I dose that?
 
Ok ph runoff was fine. Also added a wire rack for air flow. I suspect this is definitely a calmag issue so I'm gonna dose that tomorrow. Cant wait for the plants to take off after that.

Should I even buy nutes for this grow? I feel like the fresh soil is enough since the seeds are autoflower and will prob be flowering in a few weeks.
 
I'm not sure. I'm not gonna mess with pH because I doubt thats the issue. I tried calmag and if that doesn't work I'll go back to pH and play around with it more. I can't imagine it's too acidic or too hard, and it wouldn't matter since the runoff is still coming out at 6.
 
You're missing the point here, you have only said its right and havnt give any numbers, if you are feeding at 6. And it comes out at 6. You are watering it too low and if you are feed at 7. To 8. And it's coming out at 6. You have bigger problems like the medium is sitting at 4 .or 5. This is why I'm asking.

If you have just transplanted it could be shock or it could be deficient from two weeks back and just starting to show, the nutrients in the new soil will correct it but PH is the first and foremost the thing that should be right and for you it should be 6.5ph

By the way how much runoff are you producing?
 
Just thought of something. Could it be light burn? or bleaching? My light setup is this. I have three of these T5 Grow bulbs, I'm not sure what they're rated at, I think 25 watts. Then I have a single bulb fixture of an LED thats rated at 125 watts. I have two plants under these lights.
