The last picture was the day I got them. The first 3 pics are them now

Idk, I made some hoods to put over my lights but idk if I'll keep them up. Seems like my plants could get hurt from the hood if for some reason they fell. Plus it makes it a lot harder for me to see what's going on in my pot. The lights are so close to the plant at this point that the hoods are...

Idk isn't it 100 watts for the 1st plant and 50 watts for each additional? I'll get some more lights for side growth but I feel I have plenty for the tops. I'm aiming for 3 ft plants at the very end

I'm gonna put some reflector hoods above my cfls. I am gonna use cardboard. Should I use the shiny side of aluminum foil to cover the cardboard or can I just cover the whole thing in duct tape? I'm not really trying to go buy more paint since I've already been to the hardware store like 6 times...

Alright. I could figure something out. Maybe I'll buy a sheet of aluminum if it's not too expensive.

like the emergency blankets i keep reading about?

Thanks for the advice. I think theyre loving the new space, the personal lighting and the 2700k bulbs i added to the center. They all perked up, grew some more, and stems are finally not purple any more :) Plus, the new set up is alot more neat looking. I nailed cardboard about 6" from the top...

Yah I did some googling and realized that. I'll just let them do their thing. The roots will eventually grow

But I'll try your way next watering. I use a watering spout thing, so I'll just pour the water around the stem and let the rest of the pot be dry

Thats what ive been doing and it's being fine. I think my watering schedule is good because the one plant was droopy this morning and about 4 hours after watering and feeding it perked up, so I think I waited the right amount of time (about 3 days). Yah I do feel like I am kind of wasting water...

And do you mean put the lights at 1/2 inch from tops and move them up everday when the plant gets a little taller? I had them closer and someone on the board told me to move them to about 2 inches away...

How do I water from the bottom? Just fill the drainage bowl thing and itll absorb or what? Never understood what people meant by watering from the bottom

the bottom half of each pot is new soil (dry), but the top (which is where all the roots are) is the soil that was in the old pot (i just put them in the old pot like 4 days ago so I assumed that soil is still good) and I just fed and watered that soil maybe 5 hours ago. Should I put some more...

should i purchase some rooting solution to mix in my next feeding to help with the smaller roots?

I think I may have been overwatering before (like every 2 days), but now ive been waiting about 4 days between each watering. And yeah about 1/4 strength is what i used for the nutes. I do have quite a bit of perlite in the soil, but I can try to mix in more when the soil dries out a bit more...

Ok I'll try. They stretched alot the 1st week so when I replanted them I buried the stems like 3 inches so I assume the roots are pretty long now

Ok ok, I should atleast wait til the soil is dry, right?

Well I definitely am not putting them through another transplant right now. Maybe in like 2 weeks. Think the root systems will be too large to move at that time?

are they going to have root issues as they get older since theyre in the same pot?

oh yeah, the first leaves (those round baby leaves) are lime green and dying on all 3. is this supposed to happen as they get older?
