Newbie45 second grow under Cfls

well i didnt have a camera for a while but now i have one so let me tell you whats been going on. First off i started them about a month ago when it was really cold but since then they have been doing better. im using 2 big ass cfls dont know the wattage but there much bigger than regular ones and i have another smaller one. I also have another 2 big as ones for when they are a little bit bigger. im using all organic mg blood meal and bone meal. i put a decent amount of perlite in sta-green soil. i currently have 4 plants and im going to add some more. 2 of the 4 are beggining low stress training. here are some pics.

And here are some i just taken of the plants starting there lst

How big is yer planter, brah? Are ya gonna be transplanting, or is it big enuf?

im really not sure thats why im doing the lst every other cause that thing is about 3 ft long by8 in wide what do you think

I honestly wouldnt grow more than 2 in there past veg. 4 is prob yer limit fer veg! Then get 3-5 gal post fer yer flower!

thanks guess that means i need to start researching transplanting

Not a prob! Wud ya like some advice?

yea any help would be great

Dig down into yer planter, along the edges of yer box. Wen yer fingers reach the bottom, start slidin yer hand in towards the nearest plant. Get yer hand under the center of her and start slowly raising, keepin yer root ball intact. As you are lifting her all out, check to see if any roots are entangled. If they are, shake the root ball of the girl you are starting with and hey may untangle. If they dont @ that point, then try to untangle w/yer hands. Have the pot the you are transplanting into prepared with the soil set up so you can place yer whole root system in there. Then water w/nothin added but B-1!! On yer next watering, add some superthrive to the water, along w/whatever flower nutes you are using @ 1/4 strength. Then next watering, add yer B-1 again, this time nutes @ 1/2, next water w/nutes full and superthrive @ 400% Then keep using B-1 every other water fer about 20 days. Make sure ya flush every couple weeks, as well!

Dont forget, I LOVE Rep

my first grow i was left with nothing but a marble size root ball and it somehow still survived

True, but TRY not to break ANY!!!

another question the grow box i made is only about 4 ft tall so do you think i should transplant them now because i need to put them in flower early enough so they dont grow to big for the box and i dont want to have them to stressed out right before flowering
