whats wrong? should i start feeding again?

Hey guys in still kinda new to growing and I planted a couple clones about 3 weeks ago. They were really young. They are both in 10 gallon smart pots and I'm usingfox farms ocean Forrest. One is growing good and the other one is very very slowlygrowing. Also the leaves are starting to curl a little bit. The one that is going good I noticed had a hole in a couple leaves. Is the hole a bad thing? Any info would be much appreciated. I'm using jungle juice 2 part. Well will be using. I'm thinking it's time to start slowlygrowing her. What does it look like to you guys. Oh and on the last picture the main stalk/stem looks funny at the very bottom. Does that look familiar to anybody. That's the plant that is growingreallyslow

Slowly feeding her not slowly growing her haha

could this be excess boron ???

The bottom of that one looks similar to what happened when I had a clone get chewed in half by a mouse. It started doing that as part of the repair process. Here is the thread: http://rollitup.org/t/is-this-glue-a-gonner.865123/. It fully recovered btw. In your case you might wanna rebury it.

FFOF is fairly hot so in most cases you should be good to veg for at least 2-3 weeks without feeding much else.

The hole looks like normal wear and tear to me but there could be something munching on it.

IMHO, your main problem is you have baby plants in huge pots and in hot medium. Gonna be issues with watering and burn.

I understand that. I fed them really early on mistake and just been giving it bottled water every few days or so. So definitely not a deficiency then right? Should I use some cal mag for the leaves that are curling up? And do they look alright? And I appreciate your help. You also meantiones reburrying it. How would I go about doing that?

The wholes happened in the matter of 24 hours

VERY carefully, lol. I'll explain more below but....

Well, first of all, I'm no expert but feel confident in my advice here....

Btw, did you thoroughly water the pots when you first transplanted? GENERALLY SPEAKING, you need to make sure all of the soil is saturated otherwise you end up with dry spots....

Once you've done that, the goal from that point on would be to water to keep everything moist, letting the top get a little dry before watering again and not flooding it when you do. Then water to like 15% runoff every few weeks to prevent build up.

The problem with starting out in such large pots is if you water the pot properly, the plant cant drink it fast enough and will get over watered and could get root rot and mold, etc. I actually like to let it dry out a little extra after the first watering so the roots stretch out in the new pot.

You may want to just leave them in those pots, as I imagine they have grown a good amount of roots spread out though the soil. What you COULD do is very carefully remove the pot, knock off all the excess soil, being careful to not mess with the root ball too much, and replant it, this time a lil deeper so you can fully cover the cube and some of the stem.

They look ok overall to me btw, maybe a little heat stressed, at least that's what the leaf curl looks like to me.

I didn't saturate the soil before I transplanted. I think I do have dry spots. Without replanting it can I just add more soil and totallyflush it out and do it like that. Or do you think my plant will recover alright. I think Emma just give it purified water for about another month.
