i did mine in a container like you did for my first grow. learned a few things. 1) that once they get about a month or so old there going to be crowded. 2) germinating in a paper towel on a dish covered in plastic wrap in a arm area(ie ur garage) will make your beans sprout super fast. like within a wk. so doing this and ur plants would be farther along than they are now putting them in soil slows it down about 2 wks. 3) once males are cut, i uses a screen from a box fan and scrog the remaining females in that pot. so hope this helps not saying its the only way to do it. just how i did.

yea i lst'd my first grow was in a spare bathroom i had hanging 6 cfls off the curtain rod with a oscillating fan. i yielded 2 oz's. off one plant using cfls. theres alot of haters on this site that wwill blast you for not doing it there way. just keep trucking man, i heard that 30 shit too from mr jorge cervantes but i learned the plant has to be mature enough to show. (ie veg for a month, then switch to 12/12, where as a wk to 2wk after youll start seeing sex) so ya. 4-6 wks. all i used was miracle grow organic and perlite. veg'd for a month, than 12-12's until trich's were where i wanted them. great experience man, as long as you keep this to yourself you should have bud for the reast of your life.
thanx a lot man...i know my grow could be a lot better but thats not what im looking for i just want the plant to grow. i dont care how big it grows or how much it grows i just want to do my thing haha i appreciate any advice but if i dont want to try it another way then dont try and make me. if im wrong then ill learn the hard way atleast i gave it a shot...but thats badass! 2 oz off one plant is boomb haha im just using some random "organic" soil i found at home depot haha im gonna b adding more light soon but i still need to get exhaust fans cuz the heat is little much but not too much with just 2 bulbs right now and i figured since they're still small they can wait until i get paid next week before i add more bulbs haha.

yea. tip, you can find cfls in the pack(like 4 at a time) alot cheaper if you go to lowes. or home depot i assume. my first grow was done at 20-30 $ dollars a week until i got everything i needed. hey if its enough to yield you a bud than its good enough for me. i bought all my shit at lowes or waLMart and just took it easy. to me the way your doing it is the best, hands on, asking questions as they come up, and looking toward ol jorge for ideas. ya 2 ozs off 6 cfls, actually i think it was eight. i had a piece of scrap wood, about 6inx 18in, hanging, with two sockets on either side(4 in total) than i used the y sockets i got at lowes to make 4 into 8. than i used a mixture of "daylight" and "softwhite" to produe my "grow light". keep up the good wrk.
thats around what i spent so far every week and the same places i got all my shit haha....exactly i dont care if i get a gram im just happy because i grew my own gram haha. i think im gonna get a couple 6500k bulbs just to mix it up but that wont b until payday as well but thanx a lot man! i really appreciate it =D

def. anytime. if you add enough cfls(5-10) youll yield enough to keep yo happy. just a anoother tip. try and take a couple clones once you figure out whose female. this way perhaps by the time you harvest youll have one about a month away. its what i did and i harvested everymonth after my first grow for a solid 4 months. than i moved and had to completely change my setup. its still underconstruction. but yea. clone with cloning powder you get from lowes. ive had 100% strike rate with it.
thats what i was hoping to do. i have 2 other boxes ready to put plants into that way when i can clone i dont have anything to worry about. i can just cut the clones and plant it and wait....ive even got one setup for my gf. once she saw my plants growing she got all stoked and was like "baaabe i wanna grow to!" hahaha
another update today..not too much to say. the plants are growin nicely though. i have notive that from the beginning my biggest one (lets go cliche and name it mary) has a red stem. my other one (lets call it jane) doesnt have it though. i read someones post in another thread that said its because of the ph in the water but im using the same water for all 3 of my plants and only mary has the red stem. the other 2 have a nice green stem. does anyone have any info on this?? otherwise here are some pictures =D

They look healthy, you should't have anything to worry about.

Maybe a little. But u still get way higher off a bong because of the amount of smoke u intake. Bongs are rough on my lungs, i stick mostly to pipes.

Ehhh.. hate to be the 'bear of bad news' here, but IMO.. those should be way further along than that. I mean, if those are really 17 days into their lives that is. 17 days of life.. and you should have a mid-sized plant by now.. with at least 3 to 5 branch-sets already developed.
I could be reading it wrong.. but I doubt that. Your saying 17 days, yet the picture shows a very very young sprout that doesn't look but maybe a week old at the most. Just saying.. I would def. be checking what your doing because a 17 day old cannabis plant, should be much further along in development than that.
Good luck though..
peace.
