well I'm not currently in a smart pot.. they are just in little plastic cup where I drilled hole because I saw someone doing it and though it wasn't a bad idea.. Yes I will be going with Smart Pot 5 Gal.. I was actually debating if the middle pot would be smart pot or just a regular pot.. I was gonna buy them this weekend. Why I wanted to do one transplant between the two is the fact that I expect to Veg for quite some time 4-8 weeks.. If I put them in the 5 Gal pot on their first transplant they may use all the nutrients before I start feeding them, but then you mentioned I should start feeding after week 3 - what do you feed them at that stage? I thought this soil was quite full a good nutrient for most of the VEG but if you say otherwise I'm down for whatever, but would like a bit more detail on what you are using and an idea of your feed schedule if possible
Thanks - All inputs are highly appreciated this is my first grow and I am learning - I already faced a twin seed, failure of my carbon filter, power outage, etc. I was still able to minimize the damage on my girls. I'd like to make this first grow a good one, so I don't want to go extreme with CO2 for example but adding nutrients if you think its a good idea I'll consider, at the end of the day if I can save 1-2 weeks of veg it's 1-2 weeks sooner I'll be able to appreciate the results
