They look good and healthy. You should top them though. Otherwise, they'll just keep growing up in a straight line instead of bushing out and creating more bud sites. Look at the very top of the plant and clip off the new leaves in the center of the tippy top of the plant. This will cause 2 tops to come up from that spot.

I wasn't planning on topping it for a little while longer. The nodes are beginning to shoot out like crazy so it's already bushing out. But i'll definatley keep it in mind if they do get to tall

haha yea the ground would definatley be better, turn into tree's, but i gotta keep them in pots so i can hide them during parties or take them in during bad weather. once they get better they are goin into rubbermaid containers. And only one meter, it tests the amount of light, ph, and moisture, i don't ever water, just spray with a bottle, mother nature takes care of the watering, they already survived during two days of straight rain

Hey I have that same meter!

Are you doing hempy buckets or what, that looks like straight perlite?

If not I'd suggest topping the pots with soil or mulch or something, I don't understand why you have the perlite on top. I'd be able to spot those things a mile away and despite what you may have heard as a kid pigs can and do fly...

Edit: Now that I think about it for half a second you wouldn't have a ph meter, or be letting mother nature water if they were hempy buckets, so I would definitely consider having something other than perlite as a top dressing, unless it serves some purpose that I'm overlooking.

no, there is soil in those pots, i keep some perlite on top to keep bugs out of the soil and because the plants roots never use to top soil so might as well just use something else to fill in, distributes water nice and even to.

Are you not worried about the porkchoppers, or nosy neighbors, or hikers, etc. seeing them?

nah, our backyard is completely blocking out the neighbors with brush and trees, and we have woods to our right. They are pretty hidden, if my parents are to have guests they go into the woods for the day and our town does not have helicopters nor the do the cities surrounding us

Awesome then, man.

Someone was busted with fifty or so less then three miles from where I'm at last season, so I may be a bit more conservative than others.
