Question

this is my first grow and i am just wondering if i should put these in bigger pot's or should i leave them for now until they get bigger.

I would say that you could leave them for now but they look a little stretched.

a little? that nigga is fallin over! get your lights way closer, and pot them in soil all the way up to the leaves, right below. that will support the stem and start to solve the stretch prob. get more light and move it closer.

yea they did stretch a lot and do u think if i put them in different pot it will help.

that will help but it wont solve the problem. you must get more light and move it closer. if you repot put soil all the way up to the bottom of the leaves.

how is this

worse. every plant needs its own container. you need a gallon of container for every foot of growth u are going to want. if you get any males u just ganna let their roots rot in the soil with all your girls? not trying to knock man, IMO you need more research and knowledge b4 u even germinated seeds.

yea i no we should of put them in there own containers but my buddy said that he would fix the problem for me and this is what he did. and i we saying i don't think this is a good idea. so i told him i was going to post it and see what u guys think.

so what if we put the plants into 24oz cups until we can tell what they are. would this work better.

Dont listen to your buddy, he obviously isnt in the know. each plant needs its own container. and you have to have the correct gallon to foot ratio. otherwise your going to run into rootbinding problems and your growth will hault.

just a little? those are a lot stretched.

so this is the best i could do until for now.

Get those lights closer man, they're crying for light.

getting better! much better. get your lights 1-2 inches from the plants.

question i went to wal mart today and i can only find the clf bulbs that are 25 watt can i use them.

and i will move the lights now. thanks.

for sure man!!!!!!! those cfls will work. make sure they are the "cool white" and not the "warm white". warm is for flower. cool is for veg. but get like 4-5 of those 25 wt cfls and your ready to start vegging them. will be alot better tha waht u have now. you have a looooooooong road ahead.

WTF? that nigga huh?

so if i get 5 cool white for vegg and 5 warm white for flowering i will be set to go.

question what should the temp be with what i have right now the temp is sitting at 71. what should it be at.

I was trying to be as nice as possible.

Hey Josh! Glad to see you've kept on with your growing, but like billybob said, your friend is probably not going to be able to help you as much as he thinks he'll be able to. As for all the stretched plants, transplant them all and bury them within about an inch to a half inch below their leaves. You definately want those floros as close as possible to the plant for maximum plant strength and close nodes. And as soon as you can get yourself a package of dixie cups or head to walmart and buy a few packs of small sized pots. More than one plant per pot restricts growth and plants end up fighting over whose nutrients are whose. Your temp isn't bad right now. Generally, you want to keep them somewhere between 70-75, IMO. Also, those 25w bulbs will do just fine for you. Alot of people have been seeing an excellent growth rate during veg using an alternating mixture of cool and warm bulbs, but generally you use veg bulbs for veg and flower for flower.

ok so this is what i did and i am going to get some more dirt sunday after the super bowl. and i have some 24 oz cups.
