Your plant is still busy mostly growing roots until your widest leaves are as wide as the pot. Plant will grow roots for support until roots reach the inside of the pot. Then you will see fast growth. You may have transplanted into that pot a little early, eh? Good luck, BigSteve.

Tent size should determine when to flower. Most plants will just about double in height after you switch to 12/12. So, spread your ladies out inside the tent and when they are half the harvest height you want switch to 12/12. Remember to leave some room between the bulb and your tallest plant so...

"I remember reading somewhere that you should base your timeline for flower on when you see the first hairs. Is that right?" On this forum we call the first day of flowering the day you switch the lights to 12/12. Usually I see the pistils, the white hairs, appear around week 2-3 of 12/12...

Notice that your plants widest leaves are just now as wide as the pot. That means the roots have just reached the inside pot walls. That's when veg growth takes off. If you want a bushier plant now is the time to top or FIM her. Having the roots reach the pot is NOT a sign to transplant. It...

Your plant should double in height while at 12/12 because you used a short veg time. Longer veg time = bigger plant = bigger yield. Let her veg until she is at least 20-24 inches before switching to 12/12. Even more if using a 5 gallon pot. An average plant that gets 12/12 at 12 inches will...

Take a pipe-cleaner and bind that branch closer to the main stem. Good luck, BigSteve.

Roots need to hit the inside of their pot before they kick ass into veg mode. Leave her there a couple weeks if you want to see some rapid growth. Good luck, BigSteve.

Looks heat-stressed or dehydrated. Get a fan on her and keep her watered. Good luck, BigSteve.

Seedlings will do OK under a 600W bulb. I would put them farter from the bulb than you would an older plant. Try not to leave new seedlings directly under a bulb. Good luck, BigSteve.

Is it blue chrystals? If so use a level teaspoon per gallon of water. I use it for vegging and flowering. Good luck, BigSteve.

I use 3 paper towels misted wet so they show no white. Seeds go on the 3 with one more misted paper towel on top. Trick is to keep the beans moist but not soggy. Too much water in the paper towels will hinder germination by not letting any oxygen get to the seeds. Then I put the glass plate in a...

Pull off the yellow or wrinkly leaves and transplant into larger containers. Good luck, BigSteve.

There are a couple factors to consider. Topping early will give you plants that are shorter and bushier. Could be important if you are in a tent or if space is critical. Also, plants topped real early will often become top heavy and need to be braced up. Keep an eye on that, eh? I generally top...

Plant is a bit on the scrawny side, eh? Next time before switching to 12/12 top her so the plant will fill out better. Good job on keeping the plant and bulb so close together. that will help make up for the smaller bulb. Good luck, BigSteve.

It is OK to take clones from ladies that have been at 12/12 for a week or 2. My plants double in size during flowering and I usually take my cuttings from the flower room. Good luck, BigSteve.

. "2) How is the pot size at 7 gallons?" Probably too big. I have an 8 foot ceiling in my flower room and most of the pots sit on 12 inch booster seats but I still have plants growing into the light in 3 gallon pots. Try 5 gallons first then consider 3 gallon pots if you have height problems...

You can buy 5 gallon buckets at WalMart for a couple of bucks. Just remember to drill drain holes in the bottom. Good luck, BigSteve.

Bought my first reefer, a $2 "deuce", in 1964. Been smoking 54 years. BigSteve.

When you transplanted into a larger pot the plant redirected most of it's energy from flowering back to growing roots. Generally you should avoid transplanting plants already in flower mode. Plus, autos tend to be short and fast. Good luck, BigSteve.

Monitor the height. If you are seeing anywhere close to an inch a day in height increase you are still vegging. After 2-3 weeks of 12/12 you should start to see small white hairs growing at the nodes. That means you are flowering. Good luck, BigSteve.
