They look good. That minor drooping shouldnt be an issue. Maybe give it a little drink.

Water when the soil is dry/lightly damp in the middle. I just stick my finger as far as i can into the medium to see how wet it is in the middle.

Alright good, I actually just bought the oceanic soil you were talking about and a ph kit i tested the ph of the soil with distilled water and it is at like 7.0-7.1 so I'm not sure I need to adjust it what do you guys think? anyway transplanting happens in about 15 minutes into a 3 gallon 12 and 1/4" diameter pot, do you think this should be fine for the final stages? I dont want the plants to get too big I only want like 3-4 ft tops.

Ok I just transplanted and in the process i tried pushing down all the soil to compact it but when I pulled the whole thing out it accidentally ripped some of the roots resulting in the plant not being able to sit upright well. What I did was just put some soil around the stem to give it more support. Does anybody know whats going to happen to my plant if some of the roots got damaged/ripped off?! I hope shes alright!!

The roots will regrow, might stunt the growth for a little bit but it should recover.

Your ph is a little high. Water with water ph to 5 the next couple times, should balance your ph to about 6. Just keep an eye on it.

Make sure you give them a good water after transplanting them

Ya, I bought a ph kit but it happened to be a soil testing kit instead of water so I'm not sure if it will work for the water as well. I don't really know if I need to buy a new one or if this one will be accurate for just plain distilled water

Ok, I just adjusted the Ph of the distilled water I have with some vinegar so that when it is mixed with the soil it the combined ph is between 6.0 and 6.5. This should work hopefully.

Hey guys a little update, my plants are all looking good. I've been starving them for 2-3 days then feeding them but my third plant which I started recently appears to have an extremely weak stem. I'm not sure what I can do about this aside from burying the stem a little bit so it will be able to support itself. I'll attach a picture here but I would appreciate any suggestions anybody has. Oh, and I do have a fan blowing on it on low.

The first 3 pictures are of my healthiest looking plant, she's lookin pretty good. But the last picture is of one of my plants that appeared to be distorted a little bit. I'm not sure how it happened but I rotated the plants in case it was a light issue and hopefully it should be resolved.
