Two things you need to address. Your ph is a little high & looks like they need a bigger pot.

pH high as in above 7? And yea I was just thinking maybe they need knew pots but will that solve my problem?

They look healthy. Yes a bigger pot will help a lot. Also your ph at 6.8 is on the high end of good zone. The sweet spot is 6.5. I think once you repot and get the ph down a little she will be happy and reward you for your efforts.

Word I appreciate the feedback and I’m going to transplant tonight into 5 gallon fabric pots and get my water down to 6.5.

What specific type of soil are you using, your own mix, something out of a bag, dirt from outside?

@Lucc89 I’m no expert but I would say maybe you are ready to transplant but the problem looks like a nitrogen defficany to me it not bad but it will continue if not sorted please get a second opinion I had a defficany on my plants about 14 days ago I noticed it I grow in coco so I just flushed really well got py run of ppm down really low and started again with my feeding schedule and they fine now I never grown in soil so don’t know if that works as well as soil hold it nutes and realises them wen needed unlike.coco but that’s what I think because your leaves look a very strong green which also tells me nitrogen access there maybe they had to much

Thanks. That’s a strong hot soil. You may not need nutrients yet and that may be part of the problem in addition to the pot size. When you say the pH is 6.8, is that the water going in, or the runoff water coming out the bottom of the plant? Also, when you say the nutrients are 163, what do you mean by that - are you measuring that I’m the water going in, water going out, something else?

pH water 6.8 going in, checked last week coming out said 7.0 tho🤷‍♂️TDS of water before nutes 164 last feed added 1 tbsp of big bloom and 1 tsp of grow big day before yesterday. Gonna run plain pH 6.5 water though today after transplanting or will I need to feed after transplanting into new soil to help it bounce back?

No nutes! FFOF has everything you need until flower.

You have the beginning of several issues. First is to get PH down to 6.3 to 6.8. Second is to repot into larger pots. Third is a likely flush to reduce nutrient load. @MattyBear?

Transplant as mentioned she needs a. Bigger home to stretch her legs and water with 6.4 water next time check run off you should be below 6.8 your not that far off and should be able to correct it
Check ppm of run off as well then you can determine if a flush is needed
If the run off is dark in color you will know the ppm will be high but a tds meter will tell you for sure
