I transferred these seedling from solo cup into this 3 gallon container. I am now realizing i didnt add enough soil, should i remove plant and then add soil to top and replant? Been growing about 3 weeks. Just curious if it will grow better if i add soil and allow roots to reach further down into soil.

You can transplant tall seedlings deeper to cover up the extra stem, but the plant in the pictures looks okay to my rookie eyes 🤷‍♂️

I just up potted these, see how there’s still a lot of stem? Could have gone deeper.

Suggestion, remove some of the lower branches. Backfill with soil .

A way to add soil with minimal shock to the plant ✌️

Its photo. So i can cut lower branches and backfill or just leave it wont cause any issues?
You'll be fine cutting some of the lowest branches and then back-fill like others have suggested. I would go ahead and do that to the plant in the first picture. I would let the other younger smaller plants grow a bit before cutting the lower most branches because they don't have many leaves yet. It might take another week or so on the others.

Edit: LOL. looks like the younger smaller plants belong to someone else.

Do you know why i got these yellow spots on the leafs?

No sir I don’t know why. I get them also. My guess is nutrient water splashed on them. Possibly some insect.

I’ve found that this plant is pretty tough and she will grow through some stuff ✌️💨

I take it your USA

1 USA gallon =3.79l I believe that’s not really enough you can add soil to the top but your will or would ( be better ) transplanting as 3.79l is really just a mid level vegging size pot

You would really want to transplant up as you go along ending in something like a 5 gallon pot

Btw she’s near max on the n atm I might miss a feed if it was me

As far as max on the n im assuming nitrogen, I actually haven’t added any nutrients how do you know im max on n. I am using this pro mix how would i reduce nitrogen if im not adding, any way to counter act or dilute?

Leaves appear to be darker green and shiny. It could simply be the picture, but that's why it was mentioned.

As roadkill said

It could just be the frequency of watering
The more frequently you water the more nutrients get pulled up from your medium

If your not feeding I should be fine

Zooming in to try see better I noticed some slight ( very slight ) blistering from the light how near is it & what wattage

She does look good btw I would be happy to have her in my tent 🙂

Umm wait a sec
Promix HP is an inert medium that needs to be amended for the plants you are growing. It is great for cannabis and I have used it outdoors for a very long time. If no nutes have been added to HP and the plant grew you truly have a magic bag of HP.
