My whole cranking up light the hasn’t worked. They were loving day 1 between 4-5. After day two I was going between 3-4 on power. Eventually started 3 and that wasn’t working. Then was doing 2 for the first four hours and 2 for the last two. The nl5 who were already had problems began to really get ugly yellow. They are root bound. Garden store didn’t have my soil for a up pot. So I am at setting 1 again on my 1k watt light. The Cali blues and the nl2 decided to get too tall requiring some chiropractic changes. Both also are showing the funky leaf curl the rear Nl 5 has. I put some leaves under an old school microscope we used as kids. I don’t see any pests, I can’t show that. I am thinking about buying a cheap electronic one on eBay. Still waiting for them to refund my money from the ladybugs I got ripped off on eBay, so I haven’t bought it yet. The guy printed a tracking number and never shipped. Sitting on like 2 months and was removed from eBay

. If there is bugs still they are hard to find and apparently are immune to neem, spinosad, insecticide soap and de. So anyway here’s my poor plants.
View attachment 2195920^ the purest indica middle left has prayed all day at settings 1-5. She seems rather not impressed by the reduction in lights, same with the black domina rear right. The Cali blues middle center and the nl2 right center seem happy with the reduced light.

View attachment 2195921^ my lady was kind enough to drive my car to the garden store, they got the build a soil 3.0 in stock today, I grabbed 10 gallon pots. I was going to get two 7 gallons and two 10 but opted on two 10s. I picked up 4 bags the build a soil 3.0 or she did. It’s 106-114 for the next week. My plan is to stick them in the trunk to try and bake the soil of unwanted pests. No idea if that works but if you lived in Arizona you would know sitting in hot a car would kill you and your pets.
View attachment 2195922^ I totally forgot to ask her to get worm castings. Walmart carries mr wiggle but they were out, I got these. Says totally organic unlike what I found at the home depot.
So anyway I am going to need to drill holes in the pots. It freaks my dog out, I also need to do it when my lady isn’t working. So when I get off work I can’t drill because her and the dogs are going to sleep, I can’t early morning because the dogs will bark while she’s working. She’s also my assistant when it comes to transplants. Captain provided a video he’s posted here about rolling the pot and yanking it. His went 100%. We tried and it ripped half the rootball off. It made it all the way through flower. It was nerve wracking and right now I am going through things in my mind to prevent that mistake. I think I am going to cut in the sides of the soil and if needed use gravity and an extra hand.
