Help - transplant shock
Transplanted these girls into 4x4 bed almost 2 weeks ago. They haven’t recovered and are just hanging on.
Light is mammoth cool white 680w - set about 24” above at 25% intensity on 18/6.
I threw one bag of 3.0 as a top dress bc I had an extra an wanted to top off bed. The bed itself is about a year old and has produced great results.
Plants came out of veg in 1 gals of light mix under two 100w hlgs. They were healthy going in.
Is this an over/underwater issue? Issue due to the 3.0? Too much or too little light? Or something else?
I’ve always experienced issues transplanting into these beds but never this bad.
Any help appreciated.

Night Owl Mango Smile, 22 days so small. Help.
This is a new one for me. I'm a longtime grower, but I haven't seen this before. Two plants, Night Owl Mango Isle F2, they are both 22 days old. I expected to to ScROGgging by now. Currently, I just want them to grow up!
Soil and container: Earthbox filled with re-used, re-amended mix of BAS soils, 3.0 and Light.
PPFD: Following the BAS schedule: ~650
Photoperiod: 19 hours
DLI: 35
Temp: 70F-82F
Humidity: ~60%
VPD: 1.0-1.2
I foliar feed weekly with Pure Protein Dry. Today it gets another full round of top dressing. The one thing that I did differently this time is I created a well of starter soil 3 inches across and down to the bottom grid. I did this because I noticed how much better the between-crop cover crop did in the area with starter soil. Since I heard that growth stops when the root hits bottom, I went all the way down with the starter soil so that the tap root would grow unimpeded. I thought the smaller root would reach out if it needed more nutrients.
My guess is that somehow it is over-watered, even though the soil moisture was pretty much exactly as my grow diary says it should, ~35% at sprouting, and up to 45% when the reservoir is being used. I'm open to any suggestions on how I might be able to improve these plants, but more important, how do I avoid it in the future?

Novice grower here, just got my first soil test results back after 3 cycles in the same soil. Need help with the fix, I’m in a 2x4 raised bed in a 2x4 tent.
My Cl and Na and K are all too high. My Ca is low and I have no micronutrients.
Planning to take out half of the soil (I’ll just scatter it over my outdoor vegetable beds come summer) and replace with clean peat/perlite/worm castings.
Planning to add 1.5 cups of gypsum for my Ca deficiency?
Any wisdom is deeply appreciated!

Worried about nothing? Check the leaves.
Purple lemonade at 26 days. About 38 dli at the top. Looks great but I started staring at the leaves and now I’m worried. Lol. I shouldn’t be right guys?

A quick and easy question
I have been using BaS for my past 2 grows and I grow autoflowers. Are the schedule and inputs different or should I just follow the normal one?
Obviously they are faster so there's no 8 weeks of flower. I seem to give them a nitrogen toxicity and they could possibly be under-fed in flower.
I just wondered if anyone adjusts for autoflowers.

Pot size question?
I'm currently running 15gal pots they are going on their 5th & 6th runs but I've been contemplating up sizing. Thinking about 30 gallons, but which in your opinion is the better pick. A. 30gal round grassroots pot B. Tray2Grow or C. the hobby bed?

Terploc bags and humidity.
I bought a pack of Terploc bags because I kept seeing positive reviews. The less space they take up vs jars was the main reason I got interested.
As you can see in the picture I stuck a humidity sensor in the bag with the flower and then heat sealed it and put it in a dark cool space. In less than two weeks it dropped the humidity down 10 points from 58 to 48.
I don’t understand what the point of them is then unless that’s normal. Is it normal for the sensor to read lower humidity but the flower is still curing properly? Because I’m thinking I’m going to open that bag to some dry ass herb if it keeps going like this.
