My first grow! Skunk #1!

I think it should work fine. keep us updated.

7 days since i've put those seeds in paper towel (overall), and 4 since they are in this little pots

hey, that is some major stretching. do you plan on low stress training your plants? check mine out. it's about as far along as your plants are. i moved the light a little closer to prevent too much stretching.

so you suggest i must appropiate the lights ? what if they get burned?

Stretching means they aren't getting enough light. So lower the light some, a good rule to go buy is if the light right about the tops of the plants doesn't burn you, it won't burn theplants.

Yeah man get those cfls closer, they don't get too hot, and you're soil looks really saturated mate. Be careful not too over water (voice of experience!).

Good luck!

the distance between the top of plants and light, is 4" (10cm)
I'm gonna low the light to .... 6-7cm

hi ya asd3reff
i am also growing skunk #1
i am 30 days into flower and my plants have quadrupled from when i put them to flower (15ins when put to flower now they are 60ins with at least 4 weeks togo) so bare that in mind (mine are to big)
i am also using a son t but mine is only a 250w that is overhead and also using a 125w enviro for side lighting

i used a 125 enviro for veg ging, 10ins in 4 weeks
i have put a couple of pics (70 days from dropping in the water) so you can compare yours to mine, and i can do the same with yours as my next grow will be #1 as well
would like to see the difference (you have more watts)

keep the pics coming

Sativas and low amounts of light will get you out of hand fast.You should just go buy a 4 foot shop florescent light to veg these in.Light can touch the tops and stops all stretching quick

what if i burn 'em?

day 6 of veg, 9 overall :

11 days overall (8 since veg)

Root sytem probably about ready to outgrow the cups. Transplant and add 20% perlite, as you indicated earlier. Make the new soil line about halfway up the stalks to combat the stretching.

i preffer the next transplant, to be the last too! As i don't want to make to much damage to the roots. Any ideea how big must be the final pots? Height, diameter etc...

the leafs are getting a little yellow... and feels like dying... i don't know the reason....[SIZE=-1] [/SIZE]

day 12 veg (15 overall)

pics.......

Seems like you got some stretching, get those lights a little closer to stop this from happening.

i did... and now after a few days... the leaves seems to get a little yellow.... it may be less watering... or lights to close?

I think it might be a nutrient deficiency actually. And its probably because the roots aren't gonna fit in those little cups. I'd say get a 3-4 gallon pot if you want a 3-4ft tall plant.
