ya are those multiple plants? cus if so u really should move them to separate pots so that the roots dont get tangled like chief said. cus A, its gonna b a bitch to untangle and B, they prob will steal nutes from each other creating problems

there about 6 weeks now maybe 7 to be honest i kinda lost track :S and i gota fan in there already :) i fear the time to separate them has long passed when i put them into the big bucket the roots were pretty much covering the soil i had them in previously. and about the 2 plants in the one pot heh well i wasn't expecting them to do as well as they are being my 1st try at it n all was more of an experiment to be honest but as they are doing ok i thoght id see it through, also i dont have a light for the flowering stage what do u guys recomend.

either get a HPS. or if ur just gonna use CFLs make sure u get 2700k CFL's they are normally labeled as soft or warm white....basically its the opposite end of the spectrum of the light scale from the daylight CFLs u should use for veg. Look on the box ull see the different names. and there usually is a color spectrum right on the box. stay as close to the red side of the spectrum as possible. And check out the stickied CFL thread in the CFL forum. it tells u everything u need to know bout CFL growing. but if u dont feel like doing that just go get a bunch of 2700-3k cfls and ull b good to go.

ya i hear ya on the money thing. i was trying to do the same thing. but to tell u the truth i bought 6 light enclosures. for 6 bucks a piece. got 6 y spliters for 2 bucks a piece. and 6 packs with 2 bulbs each for 8 dollars a piece. so i spent about 100 total on my lighting and its perfect. and then i prob spent another 50 on nutes, resivoirs, homemade hydroponics system and other random stuff. not bad to have a decent grow setup.

Separate them immediately. Invest in your grow, it will pay off. Spend a little money on the CFLS, Ferts, and what not.
