Ok so i got them all transplanted just fine. But there was one problem. when i tried to put them back into the grow box... only 2 of them fit. So i have no idea what to do with the third plant. i do have a pc grow box but i have no fan in it and the only lighting i have for it is the Aquarium lights i showed earlier. I put the 2 largest plants in the box they seemed to be doing the best and the third one right now is just sitting on my desk.

damn bro.. thats no good.. only idea i can think of is to take it outside.... or plant in somewhere far away... personally i would just take my chances on the 2 you have now... keep the 2 best looking and scrap the last... even if they both end up male you'll get a good idea of growth size and what you can fit into the box later.. good practice.. but i hope they are females.. got my fingers crossed for you..

Good news, i took all the free time i had today to build another box this one is the same height but its 21inches wide when its done drying from the layer of paint i gave it im going to screw the fans on and rig up the lights although i dont think ill finish it today so i hope the one plant can survive my desk for a day. With this new box ill be able to fin these 3 no problem i will also be able to get bigger pots but i think these pots will do fine.The pictures are with the old box.Also now that the AC is working ive dropped the temurature in my box to 78F hopefully with the bigger box i wont need more ventilation.

sounds good.. you can run a perpertual grow with the 2 boxes now.. you can veg/clone in one box and flower in the other.. just have to work out timing so you dont over grow either box...

See the only problem with that is i stripped everything from the old box and put it in the new box otherwise that would be a great idea.
As for the new box, everything is done it is running great fans and everything. Just it doesnt have a door yet so i have it covered with a large piece of whit Foam-Core Board. Tomorrow i will work on a door. here are some pic's with the new box theres Plenty of room. Also i think with this box i will buy some new bulbs for my 2 aquarium lights and run them along the sides so the undergrowth will get some light later on.

Aye capitan, i still have the skeleton of the other box i can rig something up, throw 2 CFL's in it and a fan and i could have a clone box

thats up to you if you want to.. it was just an idea really.. depends on your budget and desire to do it... another idea i just thought of was to split the old box in 2, so there was a smaller area towards the top and a larger one at the bottom.. you could use the top to root your clones, and the bottom part to veg them for a little while in case your flowering girls werent done in time.. make sense?? i hope so.. it would just ease the transistion between veg and flowering due to time constraints.. much less stress for you..

Yeah i get what your saying i could do that, seems like a good plan. I woke up this morning seen they got about an inch bigger and the leaves grew some more which is always good i watered them each last night before i went to bed. What would you say the minimum temperature for my box should be, because last night the temp dropped to about 73, im not sure if thats too cold for them. And is there anyway i can tell what type of cannabis it is before it flowers or will i have to wait till then. I know me and my friend smoke nothing but this stuff called Reg and Purple Haze, so im hoping to get some purp out of this haha. and maybe if i get a male reg and purp female i could breed them and make my own type. idk what i would call it but it would be pretty cool to have my own mix.

careful how much you water... MJ likes to go from moist to dry verse staying in perpertual moistness... its better to water good and wait to water until the soil is completely dry... if you keep the soil moist all the time you can get root rot or soil mold/mildew... just a word of precaution...
as far as temps go 73 is about as perfect as you can get... its a good temp goal to try to reach and maintain...
its almost impossible to identify a strain unless it either comes from a clone or you know for sure where the seeds came from... even after flowering its hard to tell... hopefully by looking at they buds you get you will be able to tell the strain...

ill be able to tell by smoking the bud.. haha theres a big difference between purp and reg i will know which one im smoking also i google Purple haze it seems it grows purpleish hence the name purple haze.

Everything seems to be going ok havent watered in about 4 days but the soil is still fairly damp I can see its wet on top. i have 2 concerns tho, one of the plants leaves are curling along the sides, not all of its leaves are doing it only a few of them. And on the other plant there are some light green/yellow splotches popping up on most of the leaves, theyve been there since it grew its frist set of leaves and i just didnt worry about it but now that i can see its on mostly all of them i just wanted to get it checked out before it become something potentially dangerous to them. The soil im using is Scotts Premium Potting Soil, it has a .07-.01-.03 mix and i mixed it with some perlite about 1 cup for every 4 cups of soil. I dont think it could be a chemical burn on the leaves maybe but i highly doubt it. Also when might be a good time for me to start them on some nutes. Thanks and i hope everyone 4th of july was as good as mine

without a little further progression of either issue, if they are even issues, its kind of hard to say... so instead of diagnosing something i will give you possible things to watch as to what could cause what you are seeing... dont take these as answers because you may not have any problem at all.. remember it is just a plant.. and will not always look perfect..
yellowing of the leaves is a common sign of a nitrogen deficiency.. nitrogen is one of the macro nutes the plant uses for growth.. it is used during vegetative growth in large quantities and has to be replaced often... now with that being said a little bit of discoloration is nothing to stress to much about.. if it starts to progress through an area of the plant then you know you have an issue... if your leaf continues to yellow you know it is time to begin feeding it nutes.. begin at 1/4 strength nutes to get the plant used to the feeding.. increase as the growth of the plant increases... i personally fed every other watering.. this way i knew the plant was using everything available to it before i gave it more... this helps prevent salt build up in the soil which can lead to nute burn.. as well as ph problems in your soil that can lead to nute lock out...
curling of the leaves happens... its when a portion of the plant or entire plant show signs such as curling or drooping that you should begin to worry... as of right now there i would not worry to much.. if it begins to progress throughout other leaves then it'll be time to figure out the answer...

Thanks for the support man i plan to keep this going to the end.
Thanks man i just wanted to make sure it wasnt a problem, the curling part its not over the entire plant but about 30% of the leaves do it, but other than that thats my most healthy looking plant.
