Here are my updated pics tho.

Notice how your nodes are getting smaller and smaller? Raise your lights. Maintain the height you had at the beginning as the plant grows.

I thought you wanted your nodes close together.

About a half to an inch is ideal. Your mileage will vary.
Remember, you need to give it room to grow to properly form. It will adapt to what you give it, so let it get as close to ideal as you can.
Why? I don't recall where I read it, it could have been a study, it might not. But it has something to do with the efficiency of how well the plant pumps water upwards. If the branches are too close, they tend to interfere with each other.
Come to think of it, this might have come from a fluid dynamics study I read. Something about adapting the manmade systems to natural proportions or some such... Don't quote me on this, I do know it's generally considered the ideal range.

Would turning the light down do the same or should I raise it all the way up and turn the light all the way up?

Somewhere in this thread you mentioned throwing them out and starting over. I made that mistake and regret it. The reason being although it may not be what you want it's better than a 0 plus you get all the headaches of learning. I'm not saying you're going to after they perked up but for future references.

Yea i just was just thinking if they progressively got worse. They were in incorrect containers at first and i believe they became nute locked because they began to start having a lot of problems drooping leaves yellowing without burning just a bunch of stuff so I had to transplant before they had barely any kind of root system and I kind of had to scrap them out a little. Any who I know better then to try to get away with things now and do it the right way.

I've done some crazy things on my first grow almost making it too the end then I threw it in the fire. I'm on my second and it's just as crazy but it's a learning experience and not quite all my fault. Your post helped me as well on this grow. I'm boggled by it's antics and got a couple tips off this thread I'm going too try.

Just hang in there and glad your plants better.

Well my my plants started having yellowing leave on the bottom showing nitrogen defiancy. So I figured they needed to be translated. I transplanted them and the leaves are continuing to yellow and the leaves a twisting and some are tacoing.

They are young and look healthy enough. Don’t over think it and concern yourself too early. Keep on a normal watering regiment, and be sure to not over water/over nut… That’s easy to do when concerning yourself this early. Good luck! As a newbie you will be soaking in a lot of information just keep in mind these plants are quite resilient and will be just fine if you water properly.

Lmao gawd how does such an awesome plant attract such nonsense?
Op u still need help dude? I fuken dispise online energy takers....nothing helpful ...just misdirected hostility

I second that! No need for negative comments when a guy just needs a little direction.

Yea I been having them in Ocean forest. So the only thing I'm feeding them is fox farm big bloom which is worm castings and bat gauna. Not using my main nitrogen nute because there already look lush and have a minor tip bur. On some lower leaves. So i will wait til the plant starts losing a little bit of that super darkness then ill start to slowly introduce my notes. Also I only water when the plant pot starts getting really light.

Keep your light at the proper distance and intensity. Get a light meter so you know what they are actually getting.

there're people that are just starting, don't you understand what he's saying? obviously you never been to horticulture school aka technical high school, to train in certain fields, I went to 3 courses in tech, horticulture, auto mechanics & carpentry, 3 trades i done very well in, TBH you're even confusing on how you do things on here, TBH , you should never see a seedliing looking like that it has too much of nutrients for a seedling, BE PREPARED DON'T RUSH INTO THESE FORUMS I SUGGEST TO READ STUDY & DO , THAT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL LEARN, THESE PEOPLE DON'T CARE IF YOUR PLANTS GROW OR NOT IT''S A BRAGGING TOOL TO BRAG ABOUT THEIR PLANTS ETC, you might be growing for years , so have I, I DON'T GO AROUND ACTING LIKE THE PERFECT GROWER, there's sites on youtube explaining step for step to growing , this will help you

OMG, you tube has more bullshit than a cow pasture. Looks to ME like you've been watering way too much. Easy to over water because even though your pot is fabric, its too big for your plant size. So, only water around the plant every 2-3 days.
