Hi we are new growers and are looking for some advice on how our babies are doing. We have a small set up in a closet using a flouresent tube light and a 40watt 2650 lumens bulb. They are probably about 3-4 weeks into veg. We noticed today that our smaller plant has some yellow tips, maybe heat burn or overwatering? I know we need a fan in there and will get one asap! I'll post some pictures and let me know what you think! We havent done any fertilizing, just used some worm castings on top of soil, we do water it every day which we have now read that probably isn't such a good thing. Anyway, here they are! :joint: Oh yeah I don't know if you can see the stem or not but its looking kind of...chewed up and bumpy like?

Hey, your plants look fine:) you should have seen my first plants that made the first few weeks, those were a pity worth crying for:D

really, it is just a little tip, if all your leaves start turning yellow then it would be a problem to consider, but this, just relax;)

sweeet thats always good to hear for a new grower :hump: guess we will just cut back on the watering, also at what age are you supposed to start flowering and change the lights to 12/12?

as a guideline you should take that the plants need between 8 to 12 weeks to mature. since mature plants only can give the maximum yield in buds you should wait until this with flowering them.
if in this time height may become a issue, you can top them as well tie them down. the best is to combination both right from the start, so now;)

hmmm need to repot? they are in 6x6 containers, don't think they can grow all right just in the pots they are in?
is that inch, cows or horseshit? i guess inch so you will have to re-pot them sooner then later so the can grow some more roots. and roots my friend are the foundation for big buds, and big buds mean not just a great yield:mrgreen:

in reality u can go to 12/12 whenever u please, really depends on the strain. longer u veg better the yeild (in most cases). indica u want 4-6 nodes and sativa 8-12

How big of a pot do you need? I've read places that say they can go through adulthood in a 6x6" pot...and what do you mean by you can top them off? Because I'm thinking it might become an issue if they get too big, how big should I expect them to be?

i use 6 x 6 pots from start to finish. i flower plants from seed when they are at least 12 nodes high or 2 months old. depending on lighting these periods could vary.
