First grow

Hello everyone, this is my first grow ever.
I have a 4x4” tent, Migro Aray 8 PRO, carbon filter, a 6” Spiderfarmer fan, 2x monkey clip fans. My humidity stays within 55-60% and temps are 24-26 degrees celsius.
I have 8 seeds all from fastbuds- 6xPineapple express, 2x Lemon Og, 1x LSD-25 and 1x Gorilla Punch(2022).
I planned on growing sativa mainly and only one strain but I had to try the Gorilla Punch and the LSD and Lemon OG were a gift from fastbuds.
All seeds germinated extremely fast without soaking only paper towel. I kept them on my laptops charger and within 24-36 hours the 4 pineapples were ready. I wanted to go straight into the soil but since my LED was delayed and I was being extremely impatient I now had 4 seeds that were ready but no Light.
My plan was to go with four 20L fabric pots but since I had no LED and I wanted my first grow to be perfect I decided to plant the pineapples and leave them outside (i live on the last floor of a building and have a huge roof but many neighbours too, and its illegal here).
But I still decided to give them a try rather than trowing them away and I bought 4 10L pots and Canna professional soil. I had BioBizz allmix+lightmix but I kept that for my tent grow and the only store that sold them had only canna professional in stock.
I made some mistakes and oversoaked the Canna soil because I had no idea it was the light soil and it didnt need to be soaked for 24hours prior to planting..
After I realized my soil was too wet I decided to plant my seeds into plastic cups and transplant them later on once the soil got better and not super soaked.
A couple of days ago I finally received my Migro Aray 8 Pro.
I germinated 2x pineapple express, 1 LSD-25 and 1 Gorilla Punch.
After 36 hours they were ready and this time I decided to plant them in their final pots. I had my 20L pots filled with AllMix, which I watered with too high pH tap water because for some reason my tests showed 7.1 one day, and 7.8 the next but I only tested it after I watered, another noob mistake I guess or it could have been the fact that I ended up with 8 plants for my first grow instead of 4, lol.
I bought 5.5-7.5 pH bottled water and it ended up reading at 5.6, which I guess is too low for Allmix and I added some tap water into the bottle and its reading at 7 pH now. I guess 7 is alright for Allmix.
I had my allmix presoaked and waited around 24 hours. I also watered by adding small amounts of soil and then water, wait for about an hour and it took me around 3 or 4 times to get the pot filled and the soil “properly” soaked.
I dug a small hole maybe the size of a plastic cup and filled that with Light Mix. Dug a small hole and planted my seeds.
So far 24hours later 3 have sprouted but the Gorilla punch is still hiding, ill check back in a couple of hours. I guess I did it okayish for my 20L pots but the 10L ones are the ones that worry me. They are 13 days old now but they had 4 days of 6-7 hours of sun and then darkness :(
I will keep all 8 buckets in the tent for now and once they ask for space I will take 4 out on the roof. The weather here will be really good after this upcoming week. Sunny and 25 degrees+ so they might still be alright outside, I hope.
2 days ago I saw that the first babies had yellow on the tip of their leaves and jumped into the forums to try and understand why its happening.
I guess it is the pH being too high. I only realized about the pH once the leaves started yellowing and I decided to double check.. the soil was dry today and I gave the 10L pots around 1L of water but I also decided to feed them this time since they are in a light soil and some of the stuff I gave them is supposed to get the pH down..
I gave my 10L plants 1L of 7 pH water each and added:
0.5ml of cal-mag (biobizz)
1.5ml of dutchpro multi- total (biobizz)
0,75ml of Root juice (dutchpro)
0,25ml of Grow (biobizz)
I have read that mixing nutes is not a good Idea. I will go on monday and will get BioBizz Heaven(?). I also have BioBizz bloom and topmax for later stages.
I will post a picture of the yellowing leaves. I know it has been asked alot but if anyone could give me tips and some advice I would really appreciate it.
I run my Migro at 30 cm height. The recommended is 16cm but I feel like this way I have more room. I also have some seedlings in the tent and I don’t want to burn them. My light runs at 50% atm. Hope my younger ones dont stretch. If its bad for them I could take the bigger ones outside next week. Bad forecast this weekend.
I am sorry for the long post.
Thank you for taking the time to read all of this I know it has been asked alot but I have spent alot of hours reading other peoples threads and they are getting some really nice personal advice and it will be alot easier for me to go to 1 place when i screw up something. :D
