good idea.Piece of advice. Get those plants out of clear containers. You don't want the roots to be exposed to light.
From experience light does not effect root growth. However light and open air does kill roots. /i have grown in clear containers and had no problems. Maybe if you over water algae will form.Piece of advice. Get those plants out of clear containers. You don't want the roots to be exposed to light.
yeah. soon i will be transplanting as soon as they get bigger. i have heard that whole deal with light hitting the roots isnt good and it went right over my head and forgot all about it while setting up. i just put layers of white paper around the containers. ill post picture of that. not till tomorrow tho.From experience light does not effect root growth.

I'd say first off bigger containers with only one plant in each.
Just some advice keep growin.
haha i am seriously on a budget..going from week to week on supplys. this was just to get it started. soon i will have enough money to get pots or something bigger. trust me, they are not staying in those bottles. if it was up to me, i would have pots made out of gold.Only part I don't like about this is the plastic bottles. I know they still seem small but you gotta give them roots room to grow, otherwise your looking at root bound.
awesome man! thanks for all the support!You will be fine in those bottles for now, there's plenty of us on here that have completed grows in party cups.. Some nice pots and soil will definitely help increase your yield though! Everything you need to know is on this forum and you seem to be starting out pretty good so just take it slow and improve as you grow. You will be supprised what you will learn by the end of this grow! Oh and that hps is a great idea! Another good investement would be a thermometer and hygrometer, you can pick them up for around 10 bucks at walmart. I would also look into a way to check you ph, strips, pen whatever just keep a close eye on that. What nutes do you plan on running? Just some standard things I was thinking you might want to look into. Good luck, I'm subbed to help all I can along the way!
