there looking gd, how big are the pots? and a reflector would be nice for the plants, but if you on a tight budget dw about it
 
hey fella your the first person to rply to something i've put on the net dude congrats heh heh

the potrs are about 5 inches across
 
welcome to the forum. First post at 3:36. No response before 4:12. Sorry we weren't all sitting in front of our computers just waiting to respond to you. plants look decent. When are you going to transplant them?? VV
 
hi peeps

i'm in the uk its was 9 at night here when i posted lol do you think they will need bigger pots then ? ?? dam thought they'd be ok i'll have to put of flowering and do it this week.

cheers guys i think they're pretty healthy looking besides the odd yellow tip
 
ok its been a while, i've had a broken pc. dam thing, anyway. i left the plants veg under 125w envirolite for seven weeks in total i think this was way to long judgeing by the size of them now! !

i went to get larger pots, soil and a 400w growlux hps reflector and ballast and a contact starter as the timers can't handle the start up current. also got another 2 fans specifically to cool down the bulb. and a hygro therm meter

I got home set it all up and left them in veg on the 400watter to see if they were ok after the transplant. they'd started growing again the next day so i put them into 12/12 that night, they grew really quickly and haven't stopped since !!

A week later one of them started to show signs but not the ones i'd wanted, little ball type thigs started appearing. a day later and the tallest plant showed me what they should look like and the male was removed (( hence the avtar))

A day after that the third plant revealed herself .

i'm now 2 and a half weeks into flowering and one i 6 ft tall !!!! the other 5ft !!

i'm using biobiz bio bloom nutes during this stage increasing the strength week by week.

any ways heres some pics
