Here's some pictures from day 23. It got really cold out last night. I have the fan off in the box because the temps were to cold. Right now in the daytime temps are reading 65. I know its stressing the shit out of the plants but will they make it?

I also need to know what's the matter with those couple of plants in the pictures. I haven't added any nutes.

+rep for all good feedback and subscribers!

Happy Smoking

To be completely honest with you my friend I believe that the most harm you are doing to your babies right now is creating heat spots from your background foil because of the wrinkles in the foil they reflect the light in concentration in certain spots not uniformally. I'm guessing,hypothetically.

Those are heat blankets, i thought only tin foil gives off hot spots?

Trust me, if i had the money to buy all the pots they would have been transferred a week ago.

I just transfered the plants into pots that are a little bit bigger than the cups. I'm trying something that i have been thinking about: My theory is that if you let the roots grow all inside the cup before transferring and you do that a couple times (a slightly bigger cup each time) you will have a big ball of roots instead of the roots just going to the sides and bottom if you just jump it into a huge pot. I certainly don't know if it will do anything but its worth a try.

hey zooterdude, hows things..
ur plants need feeding buddy, there pretty small for a month now.
has ur soil got any nutes in it? even so id start feeding them now.. it only needs to be a general plant food, nothing fancy, get it from the garden section..
for warmth, depending how much u love ur plants u can do a few things,
firstly u can move the whole cabinet to a warmer place at night..
u can take the cups out and bring them inside at night if its warmer, dont matter if they not under intense light, can be in the kitchen or woteva, it better for them to be warmer and not growing as fast then not growing fast and being cold..

and if u can, get some better soil, i dont know much about soil or even where ur from but do some research and splash out on some decent soil for wen u pot up..

And different peeps diff opinions regarding potting up.. imo try to keep pot ups to a minimum within reason..Eg. dont go from paerty cup to a 50 litre pot BUT the less pot ups the better to reduce stress and stunting

Hey man Im like a month ahead of you and I remember when mine were about the same size as yours. My bottom leaves died and fell off. They looked a lot like your babies. I think there were 2 contributing factors. One being my soil was too compact and didnt have good ventilation and drainage etc. And the plants outgrew their cups and they just stopped growing and tried to die on me. I then put them in their big pots and fed them some bat guano thats high in nitrogen (mexican) and they started growing 1-2inches a day.

Just make sure you have good drainage and dont over water them. Good luck man
