Why are there so many single leaves?? Those plants look so weird Ive never seen anything like it lol. But yeah I dunno Ill be keeping touch looking at progress because I almost got Sharksbreath. Anyway the lst looks a little tight, theres some weird growing looks like all the branches are growing in circles around themselves instead of upwards. I dunno just my two cents. Later!!

lol,i know what you mean they do look wierd,but they are cuttings from my last crop and the reason they have single leaves is thats what the cuttings were like when i took them from my last plant as it was way into flowering and they were the bottom shoots you get at the base of the plant,they rooted well so im confident,as you can notice they are just starting to sprout three set leaves now,i think they look so weird as ive ive lstd them to grow round in a circle and tight as i could to the floor as i have height problems,im sure they will turn out good

Yeah thats pretty sweet. Im new to the lst'in game but I top and super crop every now and then. Ive been reading and following a few grows where the plant is a complete 360 in the pot and grows around in a circle which is sick as hell. Cant wait to see them in flower!!

Just thought id drop you all some pics ov the revamped tent to see if everything is looking ok,and if there is anything i can do to improve the set up as i no its hard to get good results with cfls,here is a basic run down ov whats in there:1 200w clf single bulb,6 20w individual cfl bulbs,2 24inch t5s on each side ov grow,all in all there is 320w cfls and 48w ov t5 lighting,im planning on growing a total ov 5 autos in there and im wondering if this set up is going to be enough spectrum for this many plants,im also wondering what nutes to use,i have the choice ov 2,canna flores with canna boost,or bio grow with bio flower,what do you think would be the best choice?,please all help would be very welcome and ill take all advice on board,thanks alot and peace;-);-)

What you need to do is retransplant all of those ladies. The soil level should be damn near the top of the container. You have like a good 4 5 inches that could be filled and your plants would have more room to grow. As far as how long to veg they look good enough to flower right now. You should have enough wattage for your plants since most of them are tied down so they wont take up as much space as the one you let go. Whenever you decide to flower make sure you flush your soil out. And you can never go wrong with the free seeds Attitude gives you, I always order from them and the free seeds have always been awesome, I just got c-99 hybrid and a bubblegummer were mine. Keep her green!!
