The plants are now at day 7 since they were put in the peat pellets, I decided I'm going to do either a SOG or ScrOG grow, I originally transplanted 4 of them into regular pots and left the others outside in the peat pellets guarded from bugs by some screens. I decided to make best use of the lights I have (70w hps and 150w hps) by doing a soil table SOG or ScrOG grow. In about a week if there is a marked difference in size between some of the plants I'm going to remove those and go with a ScrOG grow with much fewer plants, if they're relatively the same size then I'll just do a SOG grow. Either way I'm probably going to remove a few plants.
The container I used is a sturdier rubbermaid like container that I drilled 12 1" diameter holes in the bottom of, then sandwiched another piece of plastic on the bottom with 1/8" holes for drainage, then when the plants need more soil for the roots I'll take off the bottom piece and set it in a bigger container with soil it in. The plants have a fan blowing on them and I will more the lights closer as the days pass until I reach the right height. The miracle grow in the picture is just used to prop the light up, none is in the soil.
The ones in the center of the container are the ones that have been growing inside, the others have been growing outside and finally today I decided to do something with them.
