Don't get me wrong, it's a good soil. I'm just pointing out you need to understand it's capabilities and you'll have great results.

Ya but I dont like the time release. I got that dirt because I was worried about the nutrition now with what I know and your guys help I think we could grow some amazing buds
FF Ocean is good, Promix HP works well, lots of choices. I use FFOF right from seedling. You'll hear the debate that it's too hot but I've never lost one as a seedling in it.
You can always buy a proper seedling mix too.

That stonington has food for at least a month I would say month and a half. Shouldn’t be necessary to add much of anything except for maybe a tea to stimulate the microbial life in the pot. Give the plants a little darkness and move your light higher.

I put a couple of my experiments in it today. I hope they take off but if the do I don't have room. I just want to see if I could get them to take off. They were accidentally cut off so I threw them in a bottle of water with that rapid root enhancer well see what the do. Oh ya they were 3 weeks in flowering.

You really think it needs nutrition?
@buzz62
As mentioned by @PCaddict A few people hang then high with zero issues.
If you look at the HLG sellers and growers you will see their lights are at the ceiling as well, these are commercial growers. So far so good for my grow.
Plants are happy and healthy and budding like crazy.
My plants are not "tall and leggy" either, so something else is at play as well.
I am starting to think that the newer white LEDs have to be handled totally differently to the older blurple lights.
But those are just my thoughts.
Have a look here and see how HLG hang their lights:

It is working for a lot of people and so far, so good for me.
Node spacing after the stretch is about 2 to 3 inches, looks good to me.
I say do whatever works for your situation!
I was looking on their website but could not locate your soil.
I did however find one that is designed from "cutting to harvest" and water only and recommended for cannabis.
Maybe see if you can get some of that and transplant?
Stonington Blend™ Grower's Mix
Organic super soil mixed for premium indoor container plants; includes ingredients like lobster/crab meal & mycorrhizae to promote budding & blooming.

Lighting issues start from the top and work down. Plants yellowing from the bottom is a mobile deficiency, and right now it's N. Your plant is hungry. The lights may be affecting something else if that's what others are telling you... I'm just telling you the plant needs food.
This is from their site for that same stuff.
When growing in 15 gallon containers, there is no need for additional nutrients.
What size container is fastass in? 5 gallon.

Yes 5 gallon only 1 week I should have put them in 1 gallon but they are were they are now
How much does it say to add. It has a lot of N in it and will ptobably help for now, but it wont work well in a few weeks when the plant needs other nutrients.
Is you plan to stay organic? If so I'm probably not going to be much help on what to feed. If that is your plan let me know and I'll tag the right people to give you some advice.

Yes I plan or staying organics
OK, my first thought is @Emilya who has worked with LOS and several other mediums. She can confirm or deny my thoughts on if it's hungry or not as well. Always good to have more opinions.
