Ok so I have multiple plants in growing started indoors than transplanted them into 5 gallon buckets. They’ve been doing really well, i just noticed they aren’t as dark green as they were the other day,a few the bottom leaves are very light green. The only thing different that I added recently fox farms big bloom, I don’t think that’s what’s affecting them (but what do I know) and we also had a ton of rain the past week or so in NY it literally downpours everyday for about a week. I had to move them under the deck so idk if it has something to do with it not getting enough direct sunlight for that week. I’m not sure what to do, if they need something-Any help would be appreciated so so much! 580AB2F4-6F62-4376-8A9E-27BC8F4FEB28.jpeg580AB2F4-6F62-4376-8A9E-27BC8F4FEB28.jpegF4EADBC4-08AB-42CC-BF96-87BD222BA3E3.jpegA2E3B55E-21A8-4DD8-BC7E-88A151E2FF24.jpeg80132DD6-E687-4F82-A136-148219027E18.jpegB0C13FAF-D749-42A1-8AF2-89112202202E.jpegC41E2DDD-7BB1-442A-B9C2-9ADA241954A9.jpeg96356DD8-14CC-4E46-88FA-B10BD65D99DF.jpeg580AB2F4-6F62-4376-8A9E-27BC8F4FEB28.jpeg
 
Are there holes in your buckets? Just making sure.
Waterlogged plants can’t take up N very well and cause lightening.
I think you need to just let it dry out.
And then replenish some N.
Even if the top looks dry it’s still gonna be wet down below.
They don’t look too bad. Just a little unhappy. They’ll rebound.
 
Yes I do have drainage holes in them!;) I should’ve mentioned this before but after that week of rain and having them under the deck, it’s been about 2 days now since we got any rain so they’ve pretty much dried out, I tested the soil this morning it was right in the middle , not too dry not to moist so I left it alone. Today is the first day (i believe) since all the rain started that the sun will be out (no clouds, nothing!)so I’m hoping today they’ll get a good amount of direct sunlight and that will help?! Thank you for your input though I really appreciated it, makes me feel a lot better!
 
Just FYI, but a waterlogged 5 gallon bucket won't completely dry out in 2 days, especially with no sun and the plants not uptaking as much as they should. The plastic doesn't allow evaporation like a felt pot does either. So I don't think they're as dry as you think they are. Give them time to really dry out.
 
You should check these out and try if your into growing in 5 gln buckets. Their some dyi ones on you tube if not wanting to spend but a few bucks. You can get 3 packs of these as wellE1F99B20-0F5D-489A-9E47-9DC00F43D017.png

Look closely at the white trails and black spots. Do you have a pest?
