rinsed the clones in 6.5 ph water with a little silica blast and transplanted the defficant clones in a moist mix of 3 part ffof to 1 part perlite. hope they love me now.

3 parts FFOF 1 part Perlite.
Hope they like this mix if they dont.. i dont know what to say but im confident they will bounce.
You got major pH problems and the mix is too hot.
I've never heard east coast vs. west coast mixes of ffof. Sounds flaky.
Next time, try Sunshine Mix or ProMix with EWC, dolomite lime and perlite.
Flawless pH every time.

looks like the plants ar happier now
heres some hints on watering
some citys use cloriene to sanitize your drinking water, mine dose so i fill my 1 gal jugs and allow 12-24 hrs of sittn uncapped before use. this time period allow the cloriene to evaporate.
my water PH is 7.2 direct from the tap and 400-600ppm if it's just a plain watering i adjust waters PH to 6.5. for me thats 1/4 tsp GH PH down. if it's a fert watering i add desired ferts allow to sit a few min's shake very good then take the waters PH messurement and adjust as needed.
my PH meter broke over 3 yrs ago and i havent bought 1 since ive learned what the ferts i use do to my waters PH value and whats needed to adjust to 6.5
on watering i prefer the lift pot method
when i water its to just achive drainage this equals 15-20% drainage i allow the plant to finish draining then i pick her up. this is the plants approx weight when watered, now each day lift the pot you'll notice the pots weight becom less. when my pots weight approx 25% of just watered thier light enough to get watered again.
the above method has allowed me to not over water
i never worrie about the drainage runoff PH only whats going in i have some very healthy happy plants

as above.. as long as the clones were well established.. ( this is an area of differing opinions) as I do mine in rapid rooters or equivalent. I do cut my ffof more with perlinte for the clones then I do for mature plants but never had burn or deficiency in the clone/veg transition stage with this method ... KISS... grow on
