lookin good man things are coming together nicely!

idk if the 3 plants in 1 container is a very good idea most of the time after the roots get bigger they tangle with each other Fight for nutes and only 1 will survive as the dominant one thats just my 2 cents
None of the plants are in the same container. They were topped and under scrog for a while. Now they have many main stems, only one plant.

Day 38
Ok. So had some probems over the last few days, and had to reconfigure. The scrog that i was doing, one of the plants became very sick and lost all of its leaves, and looks dead now, lol. (Hope it was a male anyways) But, now i have had to take the screen off them and just plant them in individual gallon things. The plants were not draining properly, and i believe thats what led to the death of the plant. Anyways i was using MG potting soil and that stuff is garbage in my opinion. I switched to this much lighter fluffy mg soil and the plants are loving it. Im not satisfied with the size of the plants at this stage, they are 38 days old from seed and they are only about 10-12 inches each. I Realize that this was partially due to the scrog, but i blame the soil. Also i have gotten a new wallmart bubble cloner, and so far no clones have rooted. im keeping the clonts just above the water surface, and having the bubbles splash the oxygen rich air mist on the cut stems with rooting hormone thats on the stems. i dont know. im going to be giving them a few more days but its going on close to 2 weeks with no roots at all showing. hm. Anyways heres some pics
Yeah....I took them out of those and now they each have there own container.

Ok so the plants are pretty bush. Standing at about 8 inches. If they double they will get to be 16inches right? well thats not that great. id like at least 20 inches on each plant. What do you guys think??? start flowering or wait? And an update on the clones, a few had rooted. peace.DSC06012.jpg

Yea man Lst is great helps eliminate popcorn buds also
Ok quick question. What is the average size per plant vs. harvest yeild per plant? using cfl/lst? would a 1foot plant at the time flowering begins bring a 2ft plant,(supposed to double in size) and if so would that get about 14g? 28g? i know this ? has been asked many times but id like your thoughts. thanks man

With cfls i think it goes both ways .3grams - .5grams perwatt but i seen a guy get 43grams with 2x23watt so it doesn't always work out that way

my last grow i got 2 and a quarter ounces off 1 plant under like 8 cfls.........lst is the way to go
Yeah. even if i got half zip off each plant...i think i may get closer to 1oz..thats still about 10 zips. I dont know. im quite positive i will get at least a half zip...The plants are fine, and getting big.Ive seen people with some bullshit setups get like 20grm per plant. Id be willing to bet i get .75 oz to 1oz per plant. any takers on this bet? 300W CFL. i figure 50% may be male. Ive not been able to tell yet any of the plants are male/female.
