a 600 should be about 21" i think from tops of plant. i would use back of your hand to test heat after you got it hooked up and running. i dont see a n-p-k on any of those bottles of nutes. a n-p-k of 3-1-1 i think is good for veg. ive read a couple threads of people using MG veg nutes for veg. i use gh flora series 3 part plus koolbloom now for start to finish. hope that helps some. what is the new pot size you transplanted into?

the pots ive transplanted to arent as big as i should of put em into but with the nutes im using now when i do go for 1 more transplant the nuts are ment to help the plant an strengten it from stresses so we will see, ill mesaure the pots now fr diamaters i think tho the width are about 11'' and the depth about 10'' wayy bigger than the ones b4 but i should of got even bigger!!

3 weeks under the 600 for veg is more then enough. some people do 12/12 from seed under a hps.

heres some more pics with the 600w on, i have re-transplanted em into theese massive pots ill put a few pics up after theese ones, have a look anyways, theese pics are takin with a decent camera but never got good closeups as i dont know the settings!

greenfingers80 · May 4, 2011

in the 3rd pic have a look the leaves look a bit turned in, would that be due to the 600w, its not too close its as far as i know there not burning em...thanks!!!

redrum83420 · May 4, 2011

i have leafs that do that also some times. not sure why they do it but doesnt seem to hurt the plant. mite be like that because of being under part of others leafs, or at least it seems that way.

thanks, always worriying i am, wen u asked me about how big the pots were,,,,wait till u see what im putting up now in 5 mins, there HUGE!!!

redrum83420 · May 4, 2011

kool. i personally don't see a point in huge pots myself. a 2-3 gallon pot will do fine for most indoor plants. unless your growing huge plants then a huge pot is needed. i have a kc brain crystal paridise thats almost 2' tall(kinda stretched) in a 1 gallon pot still lol

greenfingers80 · May 4, 2011

as stated b4 i went out today an picked theese massive pots up, the tent is 1.2m sq so u can imagine how big they are!!! sorry fr the shit quality, iphone 3g!!!

redrum83420 · May 4, 2011

well i had to use my phone to figure out how long 1.2m was, its almost 4' so i would have to say those are 3 or 5 gallon pots. plants look small now lol.

greenfingers80 · May 4, 2011

me having theese big pots will they increase yield or what? even after i took em from the black ones the roots were pushing everywhere so i think it was a good idea to make em bigger...but is this too big?? thats the question!!??!!

yes about 3 an a half foot squarw the tent is,as i said wen i removed em from the black pots they were roots pushing out the end of the holes

greenfingers80 · May 4, 2011

yes defo 5 gallon if not bigger, they are nice from the bottom but get huge around the top, was the biggest about and anythin under them would of been similar to what i had, got the 4 of em for €20 so happy out!!!!

greenfingers80 · May 4, 2011

jus 1 more update, i have my 600w mh on 18/6 and am feeding em maxicrop planth growth stimulant!!!!!

redrum83420 · May 4, 2011

lowe's or any home improvement store sells 5 gallon bucket for less then $3 a piece, no clue what price they would be where you live. i have allot of plants in a small space so i try and keep mine smaller also. you could grow some nice size plants in that tent only growing 4 plants.

well $3 is good for them, but is there any benifits of me doing this in theese big pots, i read about watering they only need maybe once or twice a week due to the capacity, will the xtra root space make em grow taller or bushier?

redrum83420 · May 5, 2011

i think they will grow very fast in large pots. lots of room for roots to grow

i perfer to step the pot up a little at a time. if you jump to big of pot i dont think it will dry out fast enough, but it mite. lift your pot to tell the weight of it. water/fed when pot gets light but not to light.

they ARE growin very fast, in the past 2/3 days they have been in the big pots the size has increased, i understand what ur on about with watering as i have checked em an they are still holding the water but just nice and there takin to the pots in a big way, one of the plants has a little yellow stain on it i will upload it later for you to see!!!

hi all, heres another update, the plants have takin big to the pots an are starting to fill out, i went up to measure them and the smalles(far right in the pic) is just at 7 inces ranging up to the close left one (biggest) which is nearly 12 inches, alot of questions, firstly, topping!!! ive never done b4 and am scared to do so, what's the bad points of not topping, how much bigger will it make the main cola??? secondly, 12/12 hps, when do i switch, i was reading that to judge them consider them now 1/3 they will be after flowering, questions are will the get even bigger seen there in theese massive pots and secondly how long before i switch 12/12 do i need to top them!!!! i reckon for a first time grow its doing pretty well!! thanks any any advice greatly appreciated

i forgot to mention...look at the yellow blotches on the set of leaves...any idea what it could be???

Cant help you on topping but usually people top at the 3-6th node im pretty sure. never done it myself. You can switch to 12/12 when you want ( main factor is how much room you have for them to grow. if you have alot of room veg for awhile)
But usually 1 month is standard.

Your bubbas are looking damn good bro! Fat ass indicas, Keep it going!
