Great advice. Common potting up into the same soil and facing the issues again.

It also helps to reduce transplant shock having the two soils match ‘ish at the proper pH.

Got them switched over to the new Ocean forest soil in 5 gallon fabric pots, runoff was 6.7 so gonna let that ride but will certainly be watching it.  
@TransplantedFarmgirl I totally get the root bound talk I was floored to see how much they grow over the past 10 days wow no joke !!  
@Budbrother solid bro thx u for pointing me in right direction over here. I was going insane trying to play plant Dr 🙂 last question for you should I just leave them be ? The two discolored leaves that is.  
really appreciate all of the help offered I’ve learned so much from this group in such a short time. I really enjoy being part of this community. Can’t wait till I’m skilled enough to help new growers.  
Thx VP

Yeah, I’d leave em. The plant will naturally cannibalise them when needed. Eventually you’ll wanna pull them and clean the bottom up a bit.

Hi everyone thought I’d drop an updated picture on my problem child 😉 . Other than the discoloration on the leaves she’s going rather strong. Topped her 3 days ago and she appears to have recovered fully, she was a bit stretchy but has calm down since the slight light adjustment. I’m sure glad I referenced everyone advice here and remained calm and went thru the appropriate steps I. Understanding the spots on the leaves . Lord know without it I would have overreacted and killed it off.  
I do have 2 other plants growing along side this one. Both of those look great 100% happy with them !! if anyone wants to have a look just holler and I will post them. I’m having a lot of fun with this new obsession… I’m I mean hobby lol 🙂 . Happy growing everyone sorry for being long winded.

Hey @Vanillaplaya, post them babies! One thing I’ve learned in my short time with this group is that for as helpful as this community is with issues, they’re doubly awesome in sharing in your successes.  
Welcome to the fam growmie!

Here are the ladies 😄  
The back plant is 7 days behind the other two but all 3 seem to be doing well. Both large plants are entering their 5th week since they popped. I planned on topping the 3rd plant this week and then filling up that empty tent , happy growing everyone!

Hi 👋 I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas 🎄 thought I’d drop in an updated picture of the plant fam 🙂 . Has anyone experienced a plant that seems to be growing more like a bush?as you can see this plant is for sure growing but it’s not vertical. Could this be an indication I should be aware of ? Everything seems healthy past this . Thx you and happy new years !!

Nothing to be worried about. Just like my son is gonna be a foot taller than me by the time he’s 15, genetics and environment play in plants too. Looking Healthy and happy. You’re doing just fine.

Turning 60 days tomorrow !! What’s everyone thought can I let them grow or veg a bit more without a space concern? Again this is a 3x3x72 tent with 3 plants. I did add a 2nd Aerolight200SE last week with hopes of higher yields… 😉

Thanks everyone and happy growing! -VP

Just bear in mind they can double to triple their size during flower.  
If you wait another couple weeks to start flower then ur gonna have some pretty big plants in there.  
Roughly a 10 week veg . Give or take.  
Makes 5 footers. I know. Lol.  
Personally I’d get ready to flip them by first of the week or so. But this is ur call. 😁👍

pH is super low. Need to get pH up between 6.5 and 6.8 that’ll help a tremendous amount
