Fixed that. Right at 1” plant slightly sticking above the edge. Look better?

Check your soil pH. Peat moss based soil can be too acidic. You can adjust with solution grade calcium or liquid CalMag.

I'm not familiar with that unit. You may need to calibrate for pH prior to use.
I think these are probably more popular and accurate (they need to be calibrated)... pH tester pen... what I use.

Pants lol don't do it.. I usually prefer to test the run off water for EC and pH then adjust but your plants so small in that pot you probably won't water for two weeks... Even if you need to flush it's going to be alot of stress on her.Are these digital testers ok? Or should I use the strips?
Only thing I can advise is a slurry test if you have pH pen and to or distilled water.
When it comes to potting up I wait until my leaves reach past the pots edges at least. You usually still have a week or so after seeing roots out the bottom.

I have never tested my soil pH and as long as I keep using relatively new soil, I never will. Just make sure your incoming fluids are at the low end of the 6.3-6.8 scale, and you will be fine.

Is this one an auto? It's starting to flower.
Save your money! The soil moisture meters are notoriously inaccurate. The soil ph meter is pretty much useless unless you’re making your own soil, any bagged potting soil will be in the correct range. Ph the water going in, not coming out. Get a ph meter like @cbdhemp808 posted, there are even TDS/ ph meters for about the same price,Are these digital testers ok? Or should I use the strips?

Since his soil is peat moss based, I was concerned about the pH. Maybe the soil is adjusted for pH.

All the types I purchased are 8-10 weeks to flower (rated at that) but these were stunted early on by my mistakes these guys are prob 8” average at about 30days old.

From the research I’ve done basically 25-35 days is normal for an auto and there’s nothing I can really do. Won’t really produce anything but let it ride. Guess next time I know to be more particular about the lighting and and watering ect to not stunt them if I ever get autos again.Is this one an auto? It's starting to flower.

Given they are now outdoors, when do you expect the photos will start flowering?

I hope the photos continue as usual until the daylight changes and they shift to flowering. The autos I guess I can’t control them it is what it is.
