Hello everyone just a few questions,
These 2 are 4 weeks old from sprout and i topped them 6 days ago today, there is some pictures.
Are they in good height for 4 weeks?
One is 8 inch tall and the other 6.5 from soil. Shall i transplant these again or shall i leave them. The pot is 30cm round planter and its 3 quarters full of soil, Shall i top it up to top? I want to get about an oz or two off each. How long shall i veg for as they will be flowering for 8 weeks? Light is 150w mh.
The root stem is green but the ones coming off have a little red tint in them. Thanks for looking
Bro chill... let them grow, let em get a few more nodes, then top. I know its exciting but when you start finger fucking them to much they don't like it. They look good and fine though. What nutes are you using or going to be using? Let them get to 12"- 15" then flower, they will double in height maybe more in the 1st few weeks of flower. When to flip the lights is totally up to you, you could do it right now if you wanted but I recommend transplanting into bigger pots let them grow for a few more weeks then flip the lights. Good work though! Enjoy the ride don't over think and complicate things for yourself.

Yeh will be flipping in a week , not expecting alot just 3 oz in all would be good. I will be keeping it in the same pot i added more soil underneath so the pot is full now. Im using baby bio lol... thought i would try that. Have been giving nuts now for 2 and half weeks

How many gals is your pot? Is this your 1st grow?

I would transplant into a bigger pot 3-5 gallons. Don't think you'll yield 3 zips in that container with a week more of veg. If I were you I would transplant into a bigger pot 3 gallons and veg for 2 more weeks and you'll see an explosion in growth, that's just me though I don't know how much space you have and your height restrictions.

The topping will have slowed growth down,the plant will have been putting all its effort into the topped section of the plant,

I think that the pot the plant is in is fine for the time been,let it get really root bound before re potting this will make the plant,
shoot up a lot faster than normal when you do re pot.

Other than that looking fine,perhaps a little small but its all about the amount of light there getting,my plant's are around 1 1/2 ft tall from a t-5 x 4 tube one that is around 3 ft long,t-5 lights are under rated,i do all my vegging under t-5's i only use my 600 h-p-s lights for flowering,and they love the t-5 room.

This has never effected my yeild,i all ways can tell you what im going to get from each plant just through the past grows that i have done,I put some pictures up of a t5 vegged plant tonight,its been in that room 5 week and i have topped every single top on the plant more than once its about 18",and is perfect, ready to flower.

I used to do all my vegging under 600 h-p-s lights,but i took some clones from a plant i had just flipped,they went straight under the t-5 and i left them under the t-5,i was suprised just how good they looked so after that i have all ways stuck to veg under t-5 and flower under h-p-s,it has saved me a fortune on electric over the time i have been doing this stuff.

I build custom built vegging unit's now for friends and friend of friends ext,every single one of them can not understand why they used to use h-p-s lights to veg some even flower,under them but this i would not do my self,the few that do,do strains like auto's and do get good weights from them,but i do add 3 extra flouresent tubes,to the units warm day light spec,these seem to be more orange redish in coulour so they help during the flowering,

Also a bit early to be giving ya advice on this stage but don't super crop,get a table over them or just tie them down,super cropping ,doe's not mean you are gonna get a super sized yeild
if any thing i think it effect's the yeild in a bad way less not more,lst is the way to go,think of it like drinking through a straw that has been bent,its is harder to up take liquid's.
good luck

hope this helps tyke

This is how much height i have, i will be installing a carbon filter through the hole exhausting it out of attic
Looking better today i think, got a little taller too.
Will be changing the light flowering time attaching it to the hooks on the celing with string at the bottom putting what height u need light.
