Well here's a quick bit of information to those who were not following my grow previously

4x6x8 grow room
T5 40,000 lumess grow light with bloom and vegg bulbs
grow light on 12/12 7pm-7am "just changed from 7am-7pm"
grow fan blows onto lights and then bounces to top of plants for plant movement
also room is cooling down I leave door open during light on cycle for an hour in middle of time
One gal buckets, iffy about going to 3gal
No ducts or vents or carbon filters!!
mg soil and dyna grow bloom feed
installing fan in window on Friday.
water 15 ounces per plant per day soil medium drys really fast with per light mix and pebbles on bottom

k I just wanted to add the photos I am uploading are of the best 3, 2 without damage and one with damage, the heat stress isn't bad and only 2 plants have the noticeable damage I took the worst of the two damaged to show pic, I do believe that they are happier now with the light change room was 86 last night instead of being 94 like during the day.

A guy on here suggested I transplant them into 3 gal buckets but I wasn't sure because of the 8 plants and the space I have , don't wanna get them too big that's why left them in 1 gal as of now, and yes I have started the flowering process, 3 days ago tonight is 4th day

comment and feed back wanted

well lets see how you will handle those heat stresses :) subbed.

how long have you been vegging them? one gallon for this plant alr looks small, is only 4 days after flip, you still have a lot to go. rootbounded plants can show you quite some stress... I would do 1gal only if switched 1-2weeks after sprout... I grew one clone almost from rooting in 1gal, I got like 8g of dried buds.. but it was absolutely root bounded..

Roots are bounded and I vegged up till the 8th week had some serious set backs along the beginning donor as big as they could of been

You should transplant now while your still early in veg....if you grow in that small pot it will stunt growth and produce less yield. Plus you don't want to have to water everyday....3 gallon pots arn't that big you should still have room for your plants and like I mentioned a few will end up being male so you will have some more room.

I think only one is male because of preflower and I started flowering process not in beg anymore but I will defiantly transplant the plants soon if u feel its best

Well I am just saying you will have confirmation soon enough....then you will really know for sure how many are male and female. Regardless though, typically when people use small pots it would be to grow quick cycles kind of like a sea of green where they are vegged only a couple weeks then put into flower growing a small plant that does not yield much. Instead you would make up for the low yield with more plants and quicker turnaround. You could get away with a two gallon smartpot as well but in normal pots I would def bump it up to 3 gallon. Your plants had a rough and slow start so I would try to induce as little stress as possible in flower but this transplant will help your plant going rootbound too soon.

Lol okay we wil see what happens. I just hope they don't take up too much space or grow outside my hight limit, trying to keep it small enough to have for size bit also big enough to get a good enough yeild

haha...you have to many plants for your light area anyways :)
Lol u keep saying that but the truth is your just jealous I am able to grow 8 plants at one :P I can still drop the plants lower about 18 inches because they are on board supports right now nand the light can go up 4 more feet too just will be a huge pain in the ass to do with the setup I have. I just want the dang things to be ready so I can get a shed and do a much better grow on round 2
