After 3 weeks I lowered my lights to 14" from plants and as soil was 6.9ph added some pH down, I've moved the lights back up to 16" and stopped giving ph- about 3 days ago but they still don't look happy,no yellowing anywhere but leaves pointing down,I keep checking water levels

Deep, thorough watering to run off every 2-10 days (depending on temps, plant requirements/size, air flow and water holding capacity of the substrate) is much better than giving small amounts of water often. The trick is to wait until the top 3-5cms (1-2 inches) have dried out again before deep watering again. Sticking your finger into the soil makes the best moisture meter in the world. Being in constantly damp soil from small doses of water every day or so will cause bigger problems (unless you are growing in 100% coco coir, that is) than watering deeply and less frequently. In veg, your lights should be at about 18 inches. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Hey buddy Looks like you are giving them too much water, try watering more often with less water. if the leaves turn yellow from above, it may be that the ph has a blockage, but also that the Ec value is too high. Hope it helped Wish you good luck with your grow
