DIY DWC - Northern Lights - first timer

If you aren't in a rush to get them harvested, I would wait a little before moving them. I don't really have a reason, but figure why change things if you don't need to yet.

thanks for the pics and help guys. Im a little concerned too, which is why im wondering if it would be a bad idea to take nicely rooted clones and put them directly into 12/12. The clones have just rooted, but i can add them when the roots are a few inches long (leave them in the aero-cloner)

what do you think?

sicc, i say it all the time, but htis time im actually going to go through with it. LOL!

Im fairly new at growing... but what im doing seems to be working... my thoughts... you want to veg your clones before you go 12/12. You want some nice roots and leaves before you start dropping the big dose of nutes on the girls.

Ill post some pics of my girls tonight... I ran out of time last night before lights out!
 
Here are my girls in a 10 gallon tote. 8 days into flowering. The vegged for about 5 weeks. They are going to be monsters in a couple of weeks. I hope my tote can support these fat chix..

damn!

the only problem with my space is that i only have a 3' cab. Minus the height of the reflector and the size of the tote. Thats why mine is so small.

Also, the clones are rooting in an aero-cloner, so once the roots are about 4-5 inches long im going to transplant them into my DWC kit and start the flower.
 
jig, i have a cabin in Lake Arrowhead, only about 30 mins from BB right? I smell a camp-and-smoke-night coming very very soon...;) (seriously though)

I also figure that if i let the roots grow out a little, it will act as the veg stage and it will be ready for the 12/12 flip
 
Probably MH, but what it is, is the rapid root development from the DWC. Hydro grows way faster than soil. From what ive seen atleast. Mine will only be vegged for another week or so, and theyre being vegged under T5's in an aero-cloner. Ill try and get pics tomorrow.
 
I vegged under 6500K 100W CFL's. I started with 2 bulbs in a hardware dome reflector. Went to 4 bulbs... and eventually went to 8 bulbs in 4 reflectors. Im shocked at the size of these bitches. Ive done nothing fancy... just following the basic rules. Attached is a pic of the girls vegging under the CFL's. They vegged 24/0.

Hell yea man, CFL's are great for vegging, there lookin really good man, Wish i had a HPS tho, but im chill with a whole CFL grow for now
 
I think its only a 3 gallon, which will be a problem i think. Probably looking at a water change every 5 days
