The t5s are sorta U-shaped with a special plug (2g11 or something like that, if I remember). They are each 2' long. I'm keeping the light around 1-2" from the top of the taller one. Last time around I had it probably a foot away, but I think this was a mistake.

I was thinking they'd need to be re-planted soon: should I be using the same soil as before, or do you think that it was no good? Any way for me to test the soil's PH with my ph kit? It requires me to put a liquid into a clear container and mix in a chemical that changes it's color. I think it's meant for water and hydroponic solutions.

I have some containers that around around 1-1.2gallons, but perhaps they are too small. How large should I let these get so they'll both fit under my 1'x2' light, before flowering? And then based on this, how large of contaners should I be using to transplant them into?

I can appreciate that the lower leafs might naturally die, but they are also turning yellow, which seems like some kind of more serious problem. And the smaller plant does look more entirely droopy and unhealthy. Any ideas?

Thanks for the continued help!!
