Cant tell If i have a sick plant or not?

I just watered them yesterday, how can i check my run off without over watering them? and the Banding(coloring) its only on new growth as the new leaves sites start they look yellowish green then once they develop they turn green. im sorry this is my first grow so im not really good at spotting problems yet. but look at pic #3 thats what its doing when it comes to coloring and just a few dry looking spots on the leaves. anything else you need to know just let me know. thanks A4! My ph is too high im trying to fix it now, the soil acidfier takes time to kick in so right now all i got is lemon juice.

Is this your first time with LEDS?

Early growth always looks like N/Zn deficiency to me. You can see the yellowing much much better, and burnt tips too. That is normal. If you can, try to get some picture under natural light. My first time with LEDs I almost had a heat attack every single day. There is something about LEDs that makes it really stand out.
 
Ditto that ^^^^^ Mr Groff, you can not diagnose a plant under LED, what may appear odd under them may not even be visible under normal light.
 
The opposite too, but generally late flower where the foliage is denser and buds and more color going... sometimes you see nothing wrong until you inspect under neutral light and go WTF !!

But after a while you become sensitive to these things. I wonder if there are pink polarized specs out there...

:GoooAuto:
 
yes its my first grow in all indoors and all by myself. and i have pic of on my grow log in natrual light that where i noticed the browning tip. its only one leaf the a couple spots here and there. i will keep my eye on here and will keep you guys updated.
 
BaD News!!!!Something is happing to all my plants!

Things are getting BAD!Ive Gotten Behind on my feeding schedule, now i know the importance of writting down all my details(newbie mistake i guess) but im getting into the later stages of my pink ogre and im having problems, and my other two are really getting into flower now and i can see it starting to happen to them too. when i watered them last it was ph'd at 6.0my runoff was 6.2(Pink Ogre),6.1(Pe/ST).
