Well, I tranplanted into bigger pots, lowered the light, and buried the stems.....

What type of soil did you use?
Are you giving nutes?
What is the ph of water?
Are you giving nutes?
What is the ph of water?
potting soil composed of hardwood fines, pine fines, sand, and perlite.
Nutes I am using is a 24-8-16 mix
PH level is 7.
I can't figure out why they are looking bad now. Maybe it was the transplant, I don't know.

Soil is yuck.
Nutes are way off 24 nitrogen? in veg I use 6-4-4 and in bloom 2-8-4
Ph level is fine at 7. 6.5 is best for soil
Good luck. Happy grows
It was about a week ago that I transplanted them. So they may be too high in N, making them yellow?
I put extra perlite in the soil. They are in 3.5 gallon pots. Should my watering schedule be about one gallon per pot per week?
And should the 6-4-4 be used every time when watering?

Could be too high (nutes). Lift your pot and when it light, water it. That's what I do, It's fail safe.

mine are in three gallon pots i use 1to 1 1/2 quarts max per week....the nutes should not be at full strength yet and only feed every other watering

Mine are in three gallon pots and I water 1/2 gallon every other day, with full nutes.

If you intend on having them flower right away, highly decrease your nitrogen levels in your fertilizer.
Go more for a phosphorus-rich one, since that's what's best for the flowering.
Just be carefull when you repot and so on. If you intend on having your plant flower right away, wait at least 1 - 2 weeks after repotting to switch light cycles.
Plants need their energy to get over the stress of changing pots.

its all going to depend on the make up of everyones soil i have more pete in mine it holds water longer
I'm basically trying to "save" these now. They were stretched to no end because I had too many plants to start with.
After growing for 45 days, they should be much bigger than they are, but just aren't taking off. I now only have 4 under a 400 W HPS, so I don't understand why they are continuing to "stretch" and not branch out.
Should I just use straight water for a while? I think they are "burned" from the nutes.
I don't think they are "un-saveable" at this point, but could be reaching that level if I don't do something soon.
