Hey @mikeyd4286. How are you feeling about the growth rate, node spacing and leaf color on these ladies?

on the one fine but the other the yellowing is got me wondering if pH is out or it's hungry I think ,what about yourself ? I'm new at this and like others knowledge

When I first started using larger pots I didn't get all the soil wet all the way to the bottom on the days that I watered. The tap root grew down into dry soil and what I remember seeing is yellowing leaves at the bottom of the plant. The top looked good because in that situation the plant pushes all the water and nutrients to the top to try to save itself. Watering a little bit every day doesn't solve this problem. The reason I bring this up again is because in your pictures I don't see any where all the soil looks wet. Several show just a small area around the plant looking wet as though it only got a cup or two of water. What king of soil are you using? If it's peat moss based soil you should be watering about every 5 days now. If it's a coco coir based soil probably more often than that but still have to get all the soil wet on the day you water.
Watering is the number one problem for new growers. It is less likely to be a Ph or nutrient problem so early with an off the shelf pre-mixed potting soil like Happy Frog.
The wide node spacing probably from insufficient light but I would be careful of increasing light until I solved the yellowing issue. How much PPFD are they currently getting?

I see. I didn't realize you were growing in coco. I've never done that. I guess my advice is to find a grow diary from someone who successfully grows in coco and compare with what your doing.
