If you've got roots coming out the bottom I'd recommend potting them up and then switching to flower after you know the transplant has been successful depending on how much room you have just because you always wana plan for them to double or more in size during flower

8 nitrogen (N), 3 phosphorus (P), and 3 potassium (K)
each of those formulas is designed for different uses and parts of growing the plant in each stage of development. I would definitely read up as much as possible so you can understand what they need during their life cycle.
The feeding charts give you an idea of whats going on, but there is a lot more information regarding why.

I was planning on potting up....the idea being that the roots spread across the matting taking what moisture they require. then only being fed nutes from above once a week......but Im guessing you dont think this a good plan...am Im now thinking that they will only grow to the size of the pot.........are they root bound in your opinion

Yeah I was looking at it and thinking bigger pot....it'll probably recover and be really thankful after transplanting.
I would let it dry a bit as if it's water logged that's not helping.
And transplanting a wet ball isnt fun.
Does the pot drain well? Just thinking maybe it needs to drain that's all...

No your good don't keep feeding it will take time for them to show improvement ...just focus on your new growth now and the leafs that are very light down low will not repair themselves as I'm sure you know ....so don't stress on those to much let the plant use them up and then they will fall off or come off with a very gentle tug later ......just watch your new growth like I said and up your feeding a bit from what you've been doing ........I forgot what soil your in but remember usually a good soil will buffer itself as far as ph goes.....depending on your soil mix this may not be the case for you .......but I'd pot them up if you got roots showing out the bottom and also remember to let the soil dry up before you water again .......I personally will water and count the days /time it takes my plants to wilt a little before I water again ....then I water just before that ....a little wilt won't hurt nothing after you water you can literally watch the plant perk back up in 10 to 20 minutes ......or you can do the lift method where you lift the plant/pot when you know it's dry and then water it lift it again so you can feel the weight difference .......I personally make my plants ask for water/wilt so I'm certain I know I'm not overwatering good luck

Little update...
I've moved them....ggrrr.....I@m lucky enough to have the same size room next door. Fully prepared and dry. Ive moved the lot across once the temp had settled. All girls were moved extremely carefully.
I test the ph level within the mats and it showed a dirty green ph of 6.5..but was manky...that room will now be dried and scrubbed.
My girls will now dry out a little quicker. Hope I've done the right thin g. I know moving them is always a tricky business but felt I had no choice but to improve there conditions in which they were sat......

If you are new to growing. Just leave that alone. Pk boosters can just mess with newbies. After a while, you will learn exactly when they need I and to be honest I stopped using specific pk boosters a little while ago.

So this morning I checked my girls and all seem happier. The conditions feel so much better for them. Air flowing nicely air con unit seems to be working hard so I'm going to raise the temp on it. Temp in the room is reading 31c but it doesn't feel anything like it....Another massive mistake and curve is not to do this in July and August...I started to remove or roll the mats from the other room this morning. OMG>>>>how much water......I've now raised the temp in there to 37c..this will no doubt dry the room out .

Yeah I would get something else to put under the pot that could raise it up and let it breath under it for awhile
Awesome! good to hear!

They need to be moved to bigger pots the roots can't take up enough water or nutes. If you don't do it before flower you will regret it later. I had the same problem moved up to 5 gallons and the plants responded great and greened back up.

thank you bowtie....since moving the girls I've noticed a little improvement.in the colour....the roots that were out the bottom have now withered. I've check the pots and i think they not are root bound...they are in 7 litre pots.... But i will keep a close eye on them. Tomorrow I plan to post more photos of our progress which ever it goes....
That were sat in a watered foam matting which I think has created this problem. I new idea that i came across in which the roots spread out over the matting in a similar way to hydro. It dont work...I can see that...the water sits and there no way of measuring the amount given. no dipping and flush just sitting...anyway I've abandoned that lol......will update later and thanks again to all for your very valuable input.
