I used to keep a chest tube trocar in a plant and I'd use it to aerate the soil, worked great as a plant stake for her too.
Over or underwatered?

Did you ever water them? They need to be saturated at this point..
Pots are all very dry again I'm guessing?

Watering to runoff doesn’t mean a little coming out
Soak pot in a pan and wait thirty minutes before allowing it to drain

They look like needing a couple fans rotating at them windy days turning them and rainy misting in the wind ,lol, give them 3-5 days then less wind...get them lively!.....manual or autolike Iv done with RO misters fans all timed to spray at times every day for healthy green.

that would just dry them out even more, the one pic I can see rh it is already low (40's) so this wouldn't help anything

Toss the meter just going to mess with your head and make you second guess everything and you will not learn how to read the plant
You aint got to finger the soil look at the soil lift the plant or anything
You just have to learn how to read a plant until you have established a strong root zone that is more forgiving
I suggest you search a guy named Schwaggy P and read his very detailed watering guide not sure if it on this forum tho
Try to send meter back where u bought it or toss it U need to learn how to water or your gonna have other problems

I think you smoked too much yesterday
Don't you remember yesterday we suggested;
"it sounds to me that the problem is very likely you let it dry out too much, now your soil is likely hydrophobic or has pockets that are and this is stopping your plant from getting enough water. My bet is you water to runoff but seem to get a lot more runoff than you expect. besides up-potting you may want to thoroughly water the pots.
to help with the hydrophobic soil add some aloe, yucca, drop of dish soap to your water and when you water instead of just pouring the entire amount of water in the pot, divide it into a few pours of water, pour some on, really let it be absorbed then add more and wait until runoff "
and
"
Time to up pot
47 days in a one gallon is to long
And they are underwatered "
and
"
Thinking that you might be thinking that they are watered enough but soil has become hydrophobic and not fully saturating.
Easiest fix is to add a drop of dishsoap to water and it will help maintain a better watering. You can add aloe vera also or SLOW incremental watering until watered thoroughly . Ditch that meter too. "
and
"
You can ( believe it or not ) push a thin stick into top soil ( making puncture holes ) to aerate any compaction - water will flow thru those holes to help saturate. Plant will be fine.
"

That was just due to having the tent door open at time of picthat would just dry them out even more, the one pic I can see rh it is already low (40's) so this wouldn't help anything

I bet he would kill them and start over before giving up his watering meter
Also FFOF you want to mix it with something lighter like happy frog or light warrior ocean forrest hotter and has no mycorrhizae to add in root development
Your running mostly FFOF isnt really great for new roots I bet if you took pic at root mass is weak compared to others
You want to put really established root zones into FFOF yes some strains with be able to do fine but it too hot for plants that size it takes time for them to adjust and thrive

I'm taking everyone's advice into consideration and appreciate it all..I had watered couple days ago when originally posting so didn't want to take a chance on watering to much because pots do not feel light but also not to heavy either..I'm going to transplant into 5 gallon fabric pots this afternoon, should I water them in good or leave them dry? I've got mixed opinions on whether it's over or under watered..also 1 out of the 5 appears to be looking better than the rest pics are of them this morningI think you smoked too much yesterday

It really is all about the roots and to get good roots
May want to make a game plan for controlling humidity when you enter 5 gallon pots and start flowering
I saw you hit 79 already and then had 40 so u basically have no way to control humidity
