Better seperate sooner than later. The longer you wait the more intertwined the roots will be and the more damage done to the roots

Personal preference. If you go straght into 5 gal resist the urge to over water. Personaly i go from rapid rooter plug into solo cup into .7 gal then 1.7 gal then 7 gal smart pots. Thats just me

Can you suggest a 6500k cfl?

Hydro farm t5 fixtures have worked wonders for me. Low cost electric, small investment. There tube fixtures and depending on the size.... 2 ft 4 ft tubes you could use any brand i belive. Phillips, sun blaze whatever brand as long as it is the same size replacemnt. Local hardware stores should have em if you dont have access to a local grow supplier.

I have these light bulbs but idk of where to get a cheap ballast to use them I thought they would work in clamp lights. It I figured that out the hard way. They are 100w metal halide halogen bulbs

Do u have any access 2 a local grow shop? If yes fond a nice fluorescent fixture. Tube floros. T5 work wonders. Get a nice blue spectrum. Or cool white tubes. Maybe they are the same lil rusty on cfls rn after an led transition. Eother way get involved with a grow store get a descent fixture. Small investment like i said and will do you wonders during veg man. All those plants would be supplemented with enoigh light and btw you shouldnt srout them all up in the same pot like that. Will cause issues down the road when time comes to transplant

Btw an easy qay to tell if the plants are receiving enoigh ligjt is by monitoring there streching. 2-3 inches is sufficent otherwise them rwaching for the sky is them telling you lights need to be closer or more light is needed

Do your shoping at a grow store. You dont know how many times people come to the store ask my advice go home then come back 2 weeks later "should have listened to you" if you do stay cfl clamp lights work fine if i remember right someone even posted a pic of an impresive for cfl plant with clamp lights earlier in this thred. Also have seen them in Y fixtures

Also get them into individual pots or solo cups. The longer you wait the toughtr it will be. The more roots you damage when transplanting

he probably has a vegetable garden. most plant many per pot then thin. common gardener mindset. those seeds are a dime a dozen. this plants seeds are expensive though so we don't thin

Just a mix of despensary weed seeds I found and kept over time do are from golden goat, Jack Herer, blue dream. Not really worried about them too much if I decided to try this again I'll probably buy better seeds
