Or the simple version , you screwed up the soil , change it
terrifying, i hear ya it’ll become easier as you go and learn a few tricks along the way.Repotted. Got some Fox Farm Happy Frog and did the deed. It was terrifying, and took a while. Some had nice big healthy roots and the others were much smaller and assumedly less healthy.
Before it’s pointed out: I ran out of large tubs and had to use a few overly large and one overly small. I prioritized the biggest plants into the big buckets and smallest for the small. I also ran out of soil, so some are fuller than others. I’ll get more when I can and I’ll monitor.
I figure they go outside in ~8 weeks, I’ll water only 4-8 more times, and no food.
Did I do okay?

well just leave her be, not in direct light wind etc, hands off either she lives or passes on.,Thanks! So I have them each a tiny bit of water, probably a tsp worth. I didn’t wet the dirt, but it was pretty moist. And I didn’t let them dry out completely. The larger plants were drier, but I was very careful to not let clumps fall off and rip out roots.
also, the little guy in the upper right. Not standing so well :(.
They are overwatered and drownding.I just moved these from their first little pots to their next size 3 days ago, so maaaaaaybe they're a little stressed from it? They were lightly root bound, but not terribly. I haven't fed any of them. They were originally potted in Coast of Maine yellow bag soil. I repotted them into 50% of the same and 50% of homemade compost. Someone help diagnose? They look a bit muddy because I watered them just before I took the pics.
Growing 5 strains:

Currently in a grow tent. ~70F degrees and ~40% humidity. 24/0 light cycle.
Very cool. I’m assuming they aerated the soil so it wasn’t as dense. Neat.Worth noting: the biggest plants had the strongest root systems and were the only ones with worms in them.
Unreal what worms do for plants.

no don’t water yet.,They are looking much better. I thought I was going to lose 2 of them imminently, but they’ve grown and regained some color.
I know everyone is saying not to water, but they’re so dry. The top layer is like a desert!

Bingo!! and not necessarily darkness, but at minimum lower light setting and or shade parts of the day.I would also go down to 18/6 on your lights. I don't get the whole 24 hours of light thing, I know some swear by it, but in my opinion they need time to rest and grow... especially if they are already stressed.
I've got a worm bin with a million worms in it, and they are CANNABIS eating red worms...And pooped! Worm poop is the business.
So these are the new soil, only been in 2 days. When I repotted them I removed as much of the old stuff as I could, but I didn’t touch much of the dirt in the root ball, I was terrified of ripping it. So they have that root ball of hot clay (there totally is clay in there) that they’re going to have to get through. They’ve improved considerably in two short days, we’ll see what the next week brings. The current mix is Happy Frog, ample perlite in it.Bingo!! and not necessarily darkness, but at minimum lower light setting and or shade parts of the day.
AND don't forget the wind! looks like you could use a bit more circulation in there also. Personally, to me, those plants look like there going to need far better drainage to thrive properly. Got to get that oxygen to those root zones.
They appear almost nutrient starved in hot soil, if that's possible. Looks like FAR TOO MUCH clay.
even moss, or sand, gravel, or ANYTHING to increase the drainage would help. But coco or perlite would probably be the best option to mix into it...
Yea, I didn't see your replanted them until I read though the entire thread, nice job btw, you nailed it. I think there on a good track now, and it's pretty apparent they are responding.So these are the new soil, only been in 2 days.

as for airflow, there is a giant fan outside that pulls air through a large filter at the top of the tent. It’s in a timer, goes on for 5 or 10 min every 5 or 10 min. The picture was taken during the fan being off.
I also threw a timer on the light and have it on 18/6.

LOL, get 2 misters, actually. (I've currently got 3). The ones with the pumps on top are the best. 1->1.5L don't skimp on this...\Hey grandma , get a hand mister , one of those little ones with a mist / spray .... And you can mist the stem at the soil to water gently , that way you will be safe from drenching the pot , and you can relax knowing that the root ball is getting a daily / gentle watering .....
This is some of the most sincere advice that I give new growers , try it
