Hey guys, on my first micro-grow, and always using renewable resources, here are my bbs new planters.

The taller ones are 5 weeks (and their growth was stunted from too-small containers, but that has been rectified) and the two smaller ones (that are flourishing) are ~3 weeks.

Do they look ok?

They look WAY too small for their age and WAY too stretched out
You would be better off starting over when you have the proper resources for the grow
Judging by your setup it looks like you are trying to go as cheap as possible

I call them troopers for not falling over and dying
They are unhappy, put them out of their misery and start over when you have researched more

I'm disappointed. It will be some time before I can try again, but it was fun for a while.

yeah man , if you were to keep them (witch i wouldent) , but if you were ,deffinitly get real pots , they are probably like that because the pop bottles are see through , and light is hitting the roots so its stunting its growth like crazy , im shocked they arnt dead (no affence) , but seriously , if your going to insist on keeping them for whatever reason , get bigger (real) pots and burry them to the first set of leafs , then try from there , but id do what Tom_420 said , get rid of them and start again when you get more research done

ya them are way to stretched like everyone else is sayin. you need to transplant them if you can and bury as much of the stem as possible. look at the plants in the link in my signature. their 3 weeks now and bushes
