Nutes, lowryder?

My grow space is 45cm wide 40cm deep and 90cm high. So i have a max space of 90cm for hight including the pot. If needs be i could make a few ajustments later on so i can get about an extra 20cm hight space. Pots are not very deep they are only 15cm deep. What you think?

how deep are they. the bigger the pot usualy bigger the plant so it`s kind of up to the space size. i would suggest about 1 to 2 gallon pots. if you need to work on them in the dark cycle you can use a green coloured bulb. that wont bother them.

i would go bigger, i think it would get root bound and have problems again. i would use something like i said at least 1 gallon but better 2 gal. roughly 12 to 15 inches tall and about 10 inches across. i find that the wider and shallower pots give me squatier bushy plants and tall narrow pots a taller thin plant. but whatever you chose bigger is better to a point you dont want to go to big and it may streatch while the roots try to fill the soil.
i hope i`m not just confusing you.

Haha you have a bit. But then that's maybe due to the fact i'm on my 3 bowl lol. Just about to have a *passes one over* As for the pots will have a look and see what else i can find might be another trip to the garden centre for me lol.

no panic. you have a couple weeks i think before you will see anything happening but it would be nice to do it before to rest them

Ok so i repotted them earlier on. Think it was a good job i did. They deffo seemed to need bigger pots when i took them out the little ones. So i got the biggest size pots i could for my space. There now in 8 inch pots. Also i bought some perilite and mixed that in with my soil too. Hope there going to be ok will check on them as soon as it's past there night time since i don't have a green light. In the end i didn't add any of the nutes thought it was best not too since while at the garden centre i looked on the bag for the soil i have and it says it has 6 weeks of nutes already in it. Didn't want to over do the nutes. Will see if the leaves have improved in a couple of days and if they havn't i'll give them some of the organic stuff. Also moved my filter to on top of my cab to give me a bit more hight space. Just hope they don't out grow the space i have now. Took a couple of pics as well.

good call on no nutes. is the bottom pic the new ones. and i might try to get the light closer, as close as you can without burning it. cant remember if you said what the light is, kelvin and wattage.
