Good Job Henkas. It is nice to see someone that acts on the advice given. Those plants have already stretched a little, you may want to prop them up for awhile, they look like they are about 3-4" tall and only one set of true leaves. You can get skewers at most grocery stores for about $2.00 and a roll of the green wire tie for a buck. Attach the iwr tie to the skewer at the height you want and then loop it around the stem, just enough to hold it up for a few days.

Remember, the number one problem for new growers is overwatering, number 2 is underwatering. Get a 'feel' for you plants, pick up the pot after you have watered it, feel the weight. Now, wait three days and pick up the pot again. Does it need water? VV

I will try to add those skewers this week (just wondering how not to cut the roots while inserting it to the pot) and also i am thinking of 3-4 computer fans on the back wall, that should make everyone happy :) Also, after these extra laps are added - plan is growing much more faster than before, next Monday you will see significant results I hope :)

Once again, thank you for your support and I would really appreciate your help and advices in the future.

Put the skewer near the outside of the pot, not many roots out there yet. 3 or 4 computer fans will not move as much air as one Duct Booster. The duct boosters are available at the big box stores for less than $30.00. All you have to do to run them is put a plug on it. VV

by going hydroponic lol
hmm honestly its always good to have the air circulating in the box so a small fan in the box itself cant hurt
oh and as always a must for u and everyone a thermostat maybe a humidity reader
and a ph reader for your water
do u have a timer on this box also is this box going to go full cycle or do u have a different box for flowering cause u may wanna get a blue spectrun bulb for flowering it reallly does the trick other then that im not sure plz tell me what items u have on my list already

thought blue spectrum was for veg??? 5500k.....flower is lower spectrum like 2700k....cool white is blue light great for veg... warm white is red light great for flower..

PHOTO UPDATE:

I have integrate a very strong air fan TURBO (from the servers). It really flows a lot of air so I believe that will be fine. Also, you can see a huge increase of the size over a 1 week.
Please let me know if all goes well and if you have any extra suggestions.

Looking good. It appears that they have good node spacing, they have to be happy plants for the. Should be ready for transplant in a week or so. VV

Are you sure about the transplant ? As these are the lowriders2 and the whole cycle if about 2 months (including flowering). So I believe it will not grow up very big and tall, up to 40centimeters about.

PHOTO UPDATE:

Should I add any extra lights? Anything? Seems to be growing really good, however I would still like to get some feedback.
By the way, it is starting to flower I believe, no?
