Thumbs up My first grow ever (closet)
I started these seeds the first week of april, 2008 and this is what I've got. The lighting started off a bit scarce and caused some stretching, but is better now. My babies could still use some more light I'm sure, but I am broke and am paranoid about the electricity bill bringing attention to itself. Right now, I have 2 75w Grow Spectrum Flouros and 1 75w cfl. Anyhow, any advice is much appreciated. Also, I am curious as to how close I am to flowering the big one...You will know which one it is by the pics. Ok, thanks to all in advance and happy high times!

Still looks a bit small to me . . . you may be better off waiting a bit longer if you want a decent little stash harvest.

Ok, i will wait. At this rate, with the biggest one (on the left) being about 7 weeks old...how much more time do you guess i'll need b4 flowering? Thanks for the post....

I see what you're saying . . . at 7 weeks I (personally) think it should be taller/bigger. You can 12/12 it anytime now . . . it'll likely fill out as it changes over to flower mode, to maybe twice it's current size? It should be ready to flower at 7 weeks?
Is it possibly root bound? Per your pics, the planter doesn't look very big.

yea its not very big or full..but it does look healthy. The only thing is the burnt leaves that you can see from the pics..the cfl was too close so i caused that. What size pots should they be in at this point? i dont want to restrict the root system...thanks for your help

Yea, i think i will have to upscale the pots...runin out of space! thanks for the tips. also, is topping worth a shit? i topped 2/3 and i have a new one coming up...wondering if i should top it as well. The other 3 have split nicely into their respective directions. Lastly, will I end up with 2 colas?

You'd only want to increase your pot size by about 1/3rd all around (1/3rd deeper, 1/3rd larger to the sides) . . . if you get a too much bigger container, your plant will spend a lot of time and energy growing roots and your foliage/bud growth will really slow down until the new roots expand. I've seen a lot of thriving plants get transplanted into way too big containers, and stop growing. They generally start again, but time is lost.
