I think you should wait a little longer to transplant. You should let those roots fill out those pots before moving.

Thanks for the heads up Roger it's still another week before my girls go in there so I'll keep a close eye.
Edit: I'll stop by the garden store and pick up some organic pesticide and give it a spray.

Transplant complete. I'll wait 4 hrs and water them before lights out tonight. I'm keeping the off hours from 12-6am bc I have to sleep in the room. I will put an air conditioner in if I have to these last couple of nights have been too warm in the room having trouble getting to sleep, they seem to be doing fine with the window open during the day.

I've heard that it's best to water them before lights out. I was following JSB's advice and not watering right away to give the roots a head start in expanding out. That was a few days ago tho bro it's all said and done now.

Whether or not it is good to water before lights out entirely depends on parameters of your particular growing environment.

Could you explain a little further?

Day 9 of veg. Accidentally left the fan off for 4 hrs and the clone was too close to the light and began to claw. New rule: set the microwave timer every time I give the fan a break.

If your Relative Humidity is really high at night then watering before lights out could lead to White Pwdery Mildew, or stem rot, or fungus gnat population explosions...for examples. If it is very dry when lights are on, then watering while lights are running might help raise RH to more appropriate levels. Also; Vapor Pressure Differential, VPD. It makes a difference in the growth rate of your plants due to their changing ability to transpirate. Watering regime can have an impact on VPD, and therefore your plants’ abilities to grow.

Just leave the fan on all the time. Its electrical and having them continuously running is better for them than start/ stop.
Keep an eye on the clone, its getting burnt tips.

I'm using promix all purpose nutrients for veg 20-8-8. Half a scoop (1 tablespoon) per 5 liters of water every other watering, fed them on Thursday morning. I'll go full strength, half strength and just water after the first two feedings. I'm using distilled water right now but will go to natural spring water after the next watering.

You will want to cut back on nitrogen during flower. Don’t give it a bunch of excess phosphorus, like fertilizer companies to push on their cannabis products. Just cut back the ratio of nitrogen and keep ppms 600-800 or so, depending how they respond. 4-8-8 is a better ratio in flower than 20-8-8.
You may need another product to make it happen, but with that ratio I think you will get “The Claw” really easily during flower.

Ok I was wondering why bat guano was so popular even though it's only like 0-4-4 maybe I jumped the gun a bit to soon, this is what I bought for flower it's 12-28-12 is this too much for cannabis?

that's awful high in P for my liking, i'd really prefer something more along the lines of 5-10-20, too much p too soon isn't a good thing, it's a ripening agent and will force things along too fast

Ok good to know, maybe I'll save this for the last 2 weeks just before I flush. I'll try to find 5-10-20 for the rest of flower.
