Switch to bigger pots?

First Timer here, few questions

started from seeds they have been going strong for two weeks now.

My question is should I move this to bigger pots? right now they are in the bio-degradable little things.


thanks fellas!

Like I said, I germed them two mondays ago, and planted them that wen.

i think there a bit strecthed out

Yes, they are stretched. Move them to bigger pots. When you transplant them, bury them to the first set of leaves. And move the light MUCH CLOSER. What kind of light are you using?

yes u can transplant
simply cut them out and bury everything up to the first leaves

should have moved intobigger pots earlier..

I am using just the normal floresent light bubls, both white, one cool one warm, I will go get some more pictures

how about this?

Flourescents need to be within two inches or so of the tops of each of the plants. Now that you've moved them into bigger pots you may need even more lights to get light close enough to each one so they don't stretch like mad again. Aside from that they'll be fine in those containers they're in now for a couple weeks. They should be bigger than they are already but they aren't because you didn't have enough light or light close enough before but the next two weeks will show a large jump in growth rate if you fix the light issue.

they are about an inch and 1/2 away from the light source, is that alright?

I also have a 1000w HPS with ballist I can use but I thought I wasnt supose to bring that beast out until I start flowering

They'll be ok in there for longer than just a few weeks. Most likely your whole veg cycle.

lookin better with those pots...

I would invest in some 400hps for flowering....
those plants will outgrow that floro soon...
i love using my floros (t5') for about the first 3 or 4 weeks....

keep up the good work son...
u can make this your journ ....

Yes he could go full cycle in those pots, depends on how small he's going to keep them and what lights he'll have to finish them. If you're staying with cfl's and won't have a lot I hope you start 12/12 fairly soon then yes those pots will be fine all the way.

What I was planning to do was get these big enough, then get clipping to see which were males and felmales, keep two females and then take clones from them down the line

*and if there were more than 2 females let the others flower

and a journal sounds fun, thank you for the idea!

you might have some speed bumps ...
having a journ and keeping it updated ...
will increase your chances of having a better gro....
I made about ever mistake in the book ....
wish i knew then... what i know now...
