I know it was just a darker green before like the first pic plant but it's leaves are praying and standing up so idk ...I also read it could be root rot but I don't think it's leaves would still look like this standing up if it was

FFOF soil transplanted from a 2 gallon that wasn't all the way filled up to a 3 gallon on July 5th, only used recharge and tap water these 9-10 weeks this plants been alive ..did first feeding on Dr Earth all purpose yesterday evening (3 tablespoons each) they seemed to like it..I haven't PH or EC ever before..been holding out on buying a meter but I probably will soon but some ppl say u don't need to PH

I'd give it time to eat what you just fed it, but it looks healthy and happy.

Dude, leave the plant alone for a few days and relax. You are actively seeking answers to problems and issues that don't exist. You're going to drive yourself insane and end up loving your plants to death. Let them do their thing.

It might just be the Dr Earth stinking I hope but yea I'ma leave it..I was about to start transplanting it just so I can see the roots but I'll leave it for now
 
Just gonna put this out there, but 3 gallons is pretty small for outdoor plants in soil, and with nothing added for the past 2 months they're probably getting hungry. Putting them in 20-30+ gallons would make your life a lot easier...
 
I'm not an organic grower, but I'm thinking that Dr. Earth being fully organic, it'd probably be a week or more before any effects from feeding would even show. I read some reviews for Dr. Earth ferts on Amazon and a lot of people say it smells kinda foul.

I used to fixate like crazy on my plants when I started out, too. I think you're being a bit too neurotic and could easily end up 'fixing' things until they're truly broken if you can't relax a bit.

I need to up pot I was just using 3 gal so it doesn't get too big.. but I saw my topsoil roots yesterday when watering cuz they got exposed and they were green..if I had root rot wouldn't they be discolored right there or is it further down ?

I know I almost did some dumb shit, dug up the top soil and massaged the soil around a bit but yesterday when watering this plant the roots got exposed on top and they were green so shouldn't I be good ? I'm thinking it was just the Dr Earth smell

Healthy roots should be white. They can get stained from Recharge and other nutrient lines or additives, but that would typically be dark brown/blackish. I don't think I've ever seen any green roots. Someone with more experience than I have should address that.

Green is fine, it's probably cuz they were so close to the surface and getting exposed to light. I wouldn't worry about root rot in your case, either. I think in soil that usually happens when the roots are waterlogged for an extended time, which seems unlikely to happen outside in small pots...

If you up-pot, go for a big pot like 20-30 gallons or more, and fill it with good soil (feel free to mix in some Dr Earth while you're filling the pots). In organic soil, think of the soil as a cupboard full of food. The bigger the cupboard, the longer it's going to feed the plant for.

Using small pots to try and keep the plants small is a really dangerous game unless you know what you're doing, especially outside where they really want to get huge...

Yea that's what it was cuz they were so close to the soil .I broke up about an inch of top soil so that if it was root rot it'll dry out a lil faster ..thanks for the info I think it'll be alright on the root rot..on the pot size I need to figure it out quick cuz it should be flowering soon

Yeah for organics, the bigger the better (pot size, that is). If you want small plants outdoors, plant them later in the year so they don't veg for as long

For sure I didn't expect this one to veg for 8+ weeks but it is and its a foot taller than my other plants I guess this bag seeds genetics just grow tall
