Finally got the sick gal into her final home, a 7 gallon smart pot and she has fully recovered thankfully, the other two will be going into their 7 g pots by end of week, then waiting on bloom bulbs and finisher bulbs to arrive and can begin switch to 12/12 and bloom nutes in small amounts at first. Considering using a worm shit tea and molasses toward end but that’s still a ways off.

Careful using that molasses if your using bottled nutes too. The microbes that feed soil with molasses die off when you use bottled nutes. So it may present some yellowing if there's nothing to feed...I'd just stick to the bottle if that's the route you've taken. Just something I've experienced. Don't know if it will effect your grow but I know that it works great with organic grows and not so great when using bottled nutes. Bloom boosters would be a better alternative imo.
Tea would probably be okay with molasses in it but if you're using the bottle I'd stick to it...with fresh soil it would be okay but the bottle is bad for microbes and you should supply them with what they really need. That being said true organic grows are usually supplied with natural amendments, not bottled nutes so the molasses helps break down what the plant can use from the soil. There's no need to break anything down with bottled nutes, it's already readily available to the plant.https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum...-she-s-a-beast

Sound advice indeed and apologies for late replies. Thank you yes I will put the shorter one on a slight riser, she doesn’t like to be too close to the light however, I tried raising her up 5 inches recently and within an hour her leaves were curling in and leaves began praying poster in an extreme way.

Thank you chef and my other friends for making me aware of my noob mistake before I did it..... I may just feed the bottles nutes then in small amount during flowering, middle pot needs nothing since in new ffof, the other two are almost pot bound and will put them into 5 g pots but since I can’t do that for another week maybe just using small amount of bloom Nute on them should be fine right?

I agree with chef that it's best to do one or the other, even if using "Organic Nutes", since adding other stuff can mess up what you have going on with the bottled Nutes, and can cause trouble.
That being said, I don't use any bottled nutes anymore, and my plants always get watered with worm compost and molasses tea, and they seem to really like the stuff. I use a bubbler. I also side dress with worm castings and bat guano, and I gave some fish emulsion and a little horse manure early on, and they have been thriving.Organic Soil,

Yes I know about this from contributors in this forum, that’s a statement I have yet to make, however, I may change my mind and try the cheapest route if it as effective and just send it back, the package has been in Memphis TN sine Saturday, so I could reject it if not delivered tomorrow
