Do you have drainage holes drilled near the bottom of those buckets? If not, you need to do so. Even just six to eight 1/4" holes on the sides of the bucket, as close to the bottom as you can get. You can do this even with the medium and plants in the pail.
I agree with this I'd put some more holes in those treat buckets for better airflow and drainage. I transplanted too soon on one of my six and struggling to keep it alive now. (Sooner then you did yours)
Your light may also be too close now. your air bucket is much taller almost double by the looks of it

Let them grow for another week or two and then they will have good root growth maybe even growth to edge of container you could pull them out now and check but when roots get near edge that's when you have to transplant so roots dont circle

What happens if the roots circle

You had 4 what happened to other one? From what I have seen you want to exhaust from one of the top holes on ones near the top to vent out some heat and pull air in through the screens with the flaps. Air flow should come in low and circulate thru the tent and out the top with some heat from lights.

Just some updated pics of the babies I kinda wish they would stretch a little bit it's kind of hard to train them because they are growing so compact. Are they looking good size for 3 weeks ???IMG_20200504_135837117_HDR.jpgIMG_20200504_135834412_HDR.jpgIMG_20200503_225943265_HDR.jpg

So I just changed some things around in the grow tent and was wondering what you guys thought of the grow tent set up so far I have a 290w yueme full spectrum light that seems to be working pretty good and then I have one 65w full spectrum light and one more of the same 65w lights on the way so ill have one 65w at an angle on both sides hitting the side s of the girls while they grow higher and then the one 290w directly above in the middle. I have a carbon filter and inline fan then a humidifier and then one fan at the bottom pulling air from the outside and moving it into the tent the I have two fans about half way down on the sides points at the canopy of the girls just moIMG_20200510_205725379.jpgIMG_20200510_205730562_HDR.jpgIMG_20200510_205735122.jpgIMG_20200510_212005084.jpgIMG_20200510_212324184.jpgIMG_20200510_212339829.jpgIMG_20200510_205714821_HDR.jpgving air around. I'm using Fox farm ocean Forrest along with the fox farm trip every other watering but am only using 1/4 strength and to top it off I got a gallon of cal mag today I am going to start adding in as well. So what do you think? Any advise or suggestions? Also I am on day 4 of flowering and I've already started to see pistils popping out.and I keep an average temp of 75 to 80 tops with a humidity of 45%

Figured I'd share some pics of the mostly final setup that I'll be running till the end of at least this grow. All I need that hasn't arrived yet are the good straps(right now everything is rigged up with 5050 cord and metal wire so it's pretty sketch haha but those and a new intake fan but any and all advise would be great thanks everyone IMG_20200513_201827142_HDR.jpgIMG_20200513_201842652_HDR.jpgIMG_20200513_160426492_HDR.jpgIMG_20200513_174703395_HDR.jpg

I’ll be watching this closely man! This is my second grow but My first time mixing ffof/happy frog. I added some EWC in there too.
From my first grow with the ffof I’d recommend doing a top dress very soon.
I’m flipping to flower this week and the day before they’re getting a top dress to give them enough to get all the way through flower.

Your set up and plants look great man!
