a quick update. alls well with these girls. Three BD on the left and three top44 on the right. The middle BD is the most robust and largest of the lot. But I am pleased with their progress. The waiting game is underway......

are those 2 gallon pots going to be used for the whole time?
i transplant twice from starter pot to 1 gallon then 3 gallon pots. and each time i transplant the plant it goes a little deeper each time.
if i was going to put them right into the final pot from the start, i would start them about an inch or more lower in the pot. then when i would get to the stage you are i can apply a top dressing of soil so it will cover more of the lower stem.
your off to a great start they look nice.

hello. yea they are 2 gal pots. I prefer to not transplant over and over. I believe that process takes its toll on the plant's progress. I have seen discussion around root-bound growth and container size and am comfortable with my choice. It has worked for me in the past. I understand what you mean about leaving a little more room next time to bury the stem. I appreciate the suggestion. Today they continue to look very good. I need to go take a look again at how soon I can put them into 12-12 - like I had said earlier, I want to watch my height this time around. I just can't remember the minimum number of nodes/height before I switch. I'll post pics again as they grow. thanks again for coming on by to take a look. cheers!!

today is day 21 for the BD in soil, after germinating in one day. They erupted from soil quickly and in one week had a good 3-4", though somewhat stretched. Upon putting them into their 2 gal pots, I buried the stem somewhat - so 14 days from then, they look like .... I tried to post some photos of the brawny bitch that has so far outshone the others - server won't let me? She's 8" wide and 4" tall and working on her fourth set to leaves. I'll try again maybe later. They are all in good condition and (so far) maintenance free. they are on 18-6, water with Alaskan Fish Emulsion to start, and then switching to 12-12 (still not sure exactly when)

as I mentioned above, these are the one of the 21day BD seedlings.

hey there S/C - its a standard BB from bcnorthernlights dot com. They have been very good on support and improvement ideas - this one is already outdated compared to what one might purchase today. They are not cheap. But they work well. And I am certainly not using its full utility - i.e., the DWC. But I like soil. And I am thinking of adding a couple of CMH lights on either side of the HPS in the flower chamber. Just seems to me that adding light at least not to the point of overdoing it is a good thing. We'll see.

BTW - what do you think, in terms of flowering. I had read that upon reaching the 4th node you can....and considering I really want to control the height, I am seriously thinking this is what I am going to do...so likely putting them into flower in the next week? I dunno, any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks again fro dropping on by. Cheers!

i personally like to veg them until they are about 18" tall then flip to 12/12.
you could wait until the 5th node then tie the top over horizontal with a counter support. wait a week then go to 12/12. kinda like a mini LST. and will give you an extra week of veg. so they will be more mature before the switch.
