This is whats been happening after transplanting my 3-3inch babies into large 10 inch pots. I used store bought potting soil only, added nothing to it and have not used any fert's. I only water when the soil feels dry [ use the finger method ], have 4 flor's 48 inches long 40 watts each hanging 2 inches or less above the plant tops. The older bottom leaves are yellowing and dropping off as the plants grow. I'v been having the lights on 24 hours a day. They are making progress but I'm afraid what looks good on top today may be laying on the bottom of the pot tomorrow.

I've read that this condtion could be caused because of a lack of phosphorous or under developed root system. I dont want to make any moves without good advice first. One last thing shouldent the soil have all the nutrients the plants need ? Its only been 8 or 9 days since the transplant.

Let me pre thank all those who comment.
