Looking good man. That new camera setting makes a world of difference. I don't think those brownish patches are something you should worry about. Looks like something happened when the leaf was just starting to grow and it was slightly damaged. Those are scars, that's all. I've spent some time looking around for that lighting deal and couldn't find it. Doesn't seem like anyone sells kits without reflectors anymore. I'm sure you could piece together a 400watt kit for about $85. You would just need to buy everything separate. Unfortunately because you would be limited to the cheaper magnetic type ballasts at that price you would have to do some wiring. So unless you feel comfortable working with wiring with that high of a voltage I would just stick to that light you posted before. You might be able to find a 250watt kit instead of that 150watt for $85 but I was only looking for 400watters. Cheapest I could find was $115 for a 400watt kit. It comes with a reflector but it is the cheasiest reflector there is (I would know because I have one LOL).

Can anyone help me? I want to know if I should re-plant them into a bigger pot and is the Scrog method worth trying as a beginner?

Sorry bro, the video card in my laptop literally melted so I had to buy a new one. :finger: Gateway. So yea I think scrog should be cool. Never tried it myself. You might want to hold off a week or so on the transplant. You want there to actually be a rootball so when you pull it out of the cup the soil will be held by the roots and not fall all over the floor.

Oh yea, I forgot to say that before. That is exactly the one I am talking about. That is the kit I started growing with and still use to this day. Since then I have added another 600 watt light but I am still using that 400 watt system from HTG Supply. It is plenty light for your plants. You could probably go with up to eight three-foot-tall plants under it. Just make sure you have some good air circulation set up before you put that light in there. It will make a good amount of heat. While the kit doesn't have a digital ballast, which is what I prefer, it is a great deal for the money and I think a perfect starter kit for someone just getting into the game.
