Day 14 are they okay?

Okay so its day 14 just want to ask if these look okay for 2 weeks, currently got them under 1 x 23w cfl light but buying more tomorrow for a replant, also do you think i should be replanting tomorrow? One of the plants roots is coming out the bottom of the pots hole, thanks guys also the plant pot with 2 plants in it how do i seperate them?

Hiya Hairy Haggis, if Roots coming out the Bottom then yeah Defo need to repot, and try and chuck some Perlite into the Mix.

1 x 23w CFL is not enough dude..not after 2 weeks...think you need at least 50w per plant(could be wrong) Think FleaBay cheapest place for em...Asda do 30w 2700k ~ about £3.75 but these more for Flowering though I've used both during Veg 5600k & 2700k n lot of peeps mix em up too.

Don't know about separating the 2 in one Pot, might be doable, but tricky....

Peace

n Welcome to R.I.U.

Here's my grow. I've updated it's grow room some spent $100 bucks for 3x 300w CFL's today, but had been using 1x 300w CFL and 3x 100w CFL. This is day 16 from sprout to now, pictures are all included for comparison.. As for the second plant, I wouldn't risk transplanting it, they all look fairly unhealthy and fairly stretched. But I am a complete novice to this all.

Here's my grow for comparison purposes. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/812356-first-time-grow-hd-growth.html#post10310672

I will update it later with the new grow room setup.

Just a quickie..

Plants are not too stretched and don't look unhealthy Hairy Haggis, When you Pot-on..hold the plant underneath and place other had flat over the soil with plant between your middle fingers to support her, gently tip the plant upside down and apply pressure to the bottom of the Pot while still supporting baby & Soil with other hand, you should feel movement and be able to slide the whole Rootball(Few bits may fall away) but the main thing is supporting the lady.

When you fill New bigger Pot try get hold of a bag of Perlite..its always in Wilko's at about £3-4 and mix in with new Soil/Compost..Family Bargains(If you got one nr you) do a Big bag(60L) of Organic Compost for Veg and Crops...worth every penny.

A Little Tip I picked up from R.I.U. many Moons ago was when a seedling, gently tap on the top of the plant(causes little tears) and the plant stalk repairs itself and gets stonger..also you can bend the stem Left and Right A Little Bit and Gently can't stress the GENTLY enough, but again plant will grow stronger...after a week try a small fan blow air nr plants but not direct,bounce of wall or tent, box..whatever..until ladies are a bit stronger...

They will be fine and looking Good, Just Veg for a little longer if need be.

Peace

EDIT: Gotta go Daughter awake now and wants daddy off the Laptop and building Lego



Good Luck m8, keep going....

EDIT: Nearly forgot how far is CFL from ladies...?

With CFL need to be 2-3" from Tops of ladies...best on side not hanging down(Tips are dead points) or nr as damn-it..Best way to check Light levels and Heat from Build is with hand..hold at top of the plants for a few mins..if hand gets Warm/Hot raise Lights...don't forget Relfectors n such...

And I'm gone.......
