Plants have recovered well and are growin nicely. Hot temps here at the moment and the tent has been 30-32 c lights on.

Ice and Choc mint are also going well. I was going to get a few more pics but the battery died on the camera whilst I was taking the second shot, hence why not the best pics.

Pots are to big for the size of the plants so that's a bit of a prick in regard to watering and feeding.

But in saying all that, everything is looking fine right now.

yea..so now I'm wishing I had of vegged longer..

All good- still dialling in and experimenting with the set up.
Lol, bloody hindsight hey!

Yeah I always veg into the big pots for a few weeks before flowering but hey, they have leg room, they could fill right out too with big chunky buds :)

They look like they are not quite right,I think they are a bit phosphorus deficient a bit pale looking too. Have you changed your feeding or soil mix this round ?
pics are taken with the flash and are under florescent lights, I think that may make it look worse than they are. Having such large pots is making feeding difficult. A watering lasts close to two weeks ATM.
Last watering (last night) I hit em with PK13/14 and Canna Flora and Nu Life Mega Yield (similar to canna Boost ive been told) with a small amount of Cal/mag. So its first lot of flowering nutes. But yes they are not as green as id like and they are pale.

Ive been chasing my tale the whole grow and I recon it came down to having them root bound in the other pots, transplanting them and then flipping before the root ball had had a good chance to spread out and tap into what should of been available in the soil (its basically the exact same soil as last run) Does this make any sense to you? or am I way off track.

Notice how some of the leaf stems and vien down the centre of the leaf are a red/purple colour that to me is a sign of phos deficiency which may not be from a lack of P but a lock out/inability to access the P that is there.
I’d be looking at adding more perlite to your soil I don’t like having soil wet for more than 2/3 days max even with the outdoor plants in the 30 gals if the weather is clear they will go through a full wet to dry cycle in 2 days.
Your idea about the root binding may be right,I find when I get issues like deficiencies it’s usually a couple of little things that on their own wouldn’t cause any grief.
For a long time I just looked at the veg stage as being not too important but really the veg is the most crucial part of a grow if they aren’t 100% before you flip them your starting way behind the 8 ball.

Maybe its something I'm not suppling enough of. I just had a look at a pic of the scrog I did last run and it has the same red on the leaf stems. Maybe I'm missing something in my fairly basic soil mix. Come to think of it I think you may have mentioned the same thing then. Whats an easy amendment to use?

Heres the pic.

Phosphorus is one of the trickier nutrients I find,there’s a big difference between Phosphorus and available Phosphorus as it is easily locked up in the soil that’s why we are starting to see more P solubilising products now Mammoth P is the main one you see being used by pot growers but Ag guys have been onto this for some time now there is an estimated 10 billion dollars worth of locked up P in farm soils in Australia.

Bat Guano is most organic guys go to for P. I put 25 Kg of soft rock phosphate into 2000L of soil and I’ll be adding another 15 or so kg of Guano in the next week or so and I’ll start using NTS Bio P which is a P solubilising bacteria around the start of Jan. M.A.P (mono ammonium phosphate) is probably the most widely used conventional P fertiliser that’s used.
