At first i didnt see the point of a grow journal but im really lookin for some feedback on how my plants are lookin so far.

First of all, im growin bagseed that was germinated in peatmoss cubes and then transplanted into scotts potting soil w/ some perlite. At 3 weeks i started miracle grow all purpose plant food (i think its like 8-7-6). Now, my babies are almsot 5 weeks old and im about to start 12/12. They're currently on 18/6.

Let me know what you think!

looks all good..i'd transplant them too slightly larger pots before flowering then u should upgrade too a 400 watt HPS...awsome plants

My tallest is about 12 inches and they're all in 3.5 gallon pots. do i really need bigger pots?? i just transplanted them from 1.5 gallons.

As for the lights, for now each plant has its own 75w CFL.i was thinking of looking into HpS but would it get too hott in there?

I dont think you need a bigger pot at this stage especialy if you flower them soon. As for the HPS yes the HPS lamps will require venting and a lot of air movement. If money is tight I would look in too some t-5 flourecents. I have read many things about them and they seem to give off very little heat. Also I belive the CFLs that you are using are compairable to a 75w incandecent bulb but it only uses around 30w of electricity. They look good so far. Keep up the good work.

No you dont need bigger pots infact the 1.5 gallon pots woulda been just fine from start to finish.

After reading & seeing fdd2blk grow some large ass plants from start to finish in 1/2 gallon pots ive switched about half my 3 gallon pots after harvest to 1 gallon pots & they are all fine,once the next round is harvested i'll have all the rest of the 3 gallon pots replaced with smaller 1 gallon pots,more floor space equals more plants,rootbound is a bunch of shit.

They look real good. I advise start flowering asap and use an HPS or conversion bulb if possible. If you don't hurry they will grow very tall, so prepare to bend or tie down.

Puff puff pass!

still doesnt matter. if you are a good grower and use a 5 gal pot. you will get a shit load more. like up to 5 oz's.. and if the plant gets bigger, and is pruned. you get 4 big ass colas.

Well, we just had 3.5 gallon pots laying around so i used those. And i do plan to flower soon (friday!!) because i dont have much space so i cant have them too tall.

So keep your fingers crossed for some (or all) Females!!
