Idk what the problem is. I just transferred them into their 5 gal buckets yesterday (their first time getting nutrients). I did also water 1 day prior with small amounts of nutes. This is a closet grow. 1 of my plants out of 6 looks immaculate. If you got any suggestions I’d love to hear it!

Are you top feeding by hand for now until they have roots in the nutes or do they already? Twice a day was my practice until a few roots were hanging out the pots.
What ppm/EC are you giving them atm? 300ppm was my target for the little ones.
Will likely grow out of it in a bit.

I actually haven’t watered them. We had their roots in contact with water. Going to water then now with spray bottle. As for PPM I believe mine is a bit high. How can you lower PPM?Are you top feeding by hand for now until they have roots in the nutes or do they already? Twice a day was my practice until a few roots were hanging out the pots.

To lower PPM you need to add water. If you can't add water you'll need to drain some and replace it with new water, then balance your PPM.

Like he said. ↑
Measure your ppm and guesstimate how much water to remove to get down to 300 or so. What's the ppm of your water or are you using RO like is best? I grew in tubs that I always added a 2" hole in the top for sucking out nutes for the top feedings, taking samples and adding nutes and water etc. Never change nutes until flower if they stay clear and clean. I would go the whole grow without ever changing nutes using RO water with AN pH Perfect nutes. Just check ppm and stay on target using small amounts to replace what they ate. Growing more organically these days.

Considering I have sprouted seeds right in the net pots and had a successful grow from it I'd have to disagree with you there. I've even put rootless cuttings in net pots with a couple inches of stem below the pots and had them root and grow just fine.
