hey gang ive got some pics of the progress of my plants
12-27.jpgthis is my set on 12-27 the tiny one didnt take root so it was gone.
1-6_1.jpg1-6_2.jpg1-6.jpghere are my 3 ladies on 1-6 at 18 days old. 2 look ok still but that 3rd is really droopy and the bottom leaves are a little yellow.
1-7_1.jpg1-7.jpghere they are today the others have yellowing on the small nodes on the bottom but this one is taking it a little rough.... im using fox farm and it has gone great until now. i have used no nutes as the soil should be sufficient. they are almost at 3 weeks and im wondering if i should transplant to larger pots or if they just need nutes now. this is my first grow so im a little worried about that droopy plant. oh and i water every 2-3 days. I just watered last night at 6pm so they seem fine on water for the next day or two.

They need to be transplanted immediately into larger containers of fertile soil. Once transplanted, be sure to monitor soil pH and let the top half of the soil become completely bone dry before watering. Make sure the temps are fine, I can't read the thermometer in the pic.

FF is full of shit when they say the soil is good for a month its really only good for about 2 weeks or so depending on the nutrient uptake of he plant, obviously the plant your having problems with needs nutrients transplant into new containers out those cups since they gonna be root bound and feed away. you will be fine just break up your rootballs on transplant.

I would lift each plant out of the cup and add more soil to the bottom to raise the plants up. Your tap root needs 4" minimum to establish secondary roots. You have planted those in cups only half or less, full of soil. Make sure drainage is good. I have let my plants get twice as big as those while they were still in Solo cups. They don't need new containers just yet. They could use more soil beneath them though.
