hey man is that foil you have on the wall? if it is take it off and just paint your walls white, second next time use a cup or a smaller pot to start off seeds ,it may be a male then u wasted all that space and soil for nothing, second it will take forever for the root structure to grow in such a large area, thats the only two things i would recommend other than that good luck man!

Wrong.


It is looking nice, but you will need, or at least if I was you, I'd get more lights to flower. Also, don't water everyday, only when they're thirsty you want them to have somewhat of wet/dry cycles...not bone dry.

Definitely not, your pot should have some good drainage wholes so you'll be fine.

I would get as many as it took to light the entire plant. If you get at least one new light every week or two until you flower I think that would be ok.

More lights, more yield.

Ideally the sun is perfect. :-) But that's what we're trying to mimic indoors...right? :-) It's all really up to you, depends on many factors, your grow conditions, your strain, etc. I am at 28 days in Veg and plan on going another two or three weeks. But it's up to you. Remember once you switch to 12/12 your babies will double to triple in size. Your scenario, LST would be very very beneficial.

do you evean no the sex? and ya take that tape off and use mylar or white paint, the best way to tell when to water is waite till one of your pots is dry pick it up and feel the weight of it this is what you judge by if it needs to be watered,or the way i do it is i can tell by the leaves starting to droop a lil i know there getting thirsty. also when you water make sure the soil around the edge of the pots is packed down because when you water it can go through the open crack along side of the pots and wont get to the roots,after you do that water till you see water come out the bottom,i usally let it try to drink as much as they can then i come back in a hour or so and dump the excess water
