See the thing is I got 18 one gallon bags and 9 two gallon bags. I think I am going to put nine of the plants in the two gallons to start. It kinda works out though because one the plants is way behind/toast. It was the first to break the soil but the seed shell stayed on for a couple days. When I carefully plucked it off(came off very easily), it looked fine, just like the others. But it hasn't grown at all since then. Looks exactly the same. greenish yellowish leaves curled up into a ball, stem is still green. All others have wide sets of two leaves. I'm just going to leave it in the tray or put it in a one gallon if the tap root gets longer.
You asked about my ph earlier. Walmart only had the tester drops so I'm being ghetto and using vinegar to adjust. It seems to work very well. A half capful in a tray of water lowers ph from 7.4 to 6.0. As I said I will be getting legit stuff once I make the trip to the hydro store.

yeah, why is that a bad idea?

I put one of the gallon bags next to one the 2 gallon, both all unfolded and standing up. They really don't look that much different so I figure it's better to just go right to the two gallon and skip the transplant. You should be alright with the gallon size though. I'm telling you I even got the bags mixed up a couple time because it is so hard to tell the difference in size - they are all the same height.

bkstylz, Oh, I was wondering how you were gonna make three gallon bags work for five plants. I'm a retard. I would probably want to start in 3 gallon size if had the choice, the 2 gallons don't look very big.

2 gallons of coco can easily dish out a 4 foot plant.

but I am not using it in a hydro system...does that make a difference??
and do you have any coco tips to share??

Yeah...I've heard that a couple of times...but I plan on using these since I already paid for them.
should I be concerned with the ph balance of the water / nutes at this point? I did test the nutes I have and I seem to be around 5.5 - 6.0
