  6. Your plant is stretching. If its possible, lower your light a bit more.

    howdy Awelch-
     
    Looks pretty good. The Minerals in that soil should last quite a while- You may want to add a bit of dry organic fertilizer here and there- Don't over do it and-better yet add it to your bagged soil to (compost it). try adding more soil to the pots. The stems will make new roots higher up from the soil. You can mound the (fertilizer/soil) up. Don't add too much!
     
    The plants should be good in there for the next few weeks, In other words there is enough nutrient there If you have the patience. Since you are using mg organic i would add a cup of glacial sand or basalt dust or azomite to the soil and turn it in. This add's a Mineral source to the soil in addition to what's already there and will keep your plants green by releasing elemental sulphur and calcium into the soil slowly (over a few years). Can you list the ingredients on the bag of soil here for reference?
     
    as they get bigger you will see the leaves droop more and increase the watering frequency but remember cannabis likes soil to get dry so let the leaves droop quite a bit and watch them closely when they droop so it doesn't die
     
    are you misting your plants with any tea's at all? I start plants on a mild garlic-water misting early on to prevent the mildew which is quite predominate in my climate. it also deters pests.

    PS that soil looks a bit on the wet side. What are your temperatures?
