I just wanted to post some pics of my first grow. Its been 44 days. Growth was stunted due to using bad soil with no nutes.... switched to Fox Farms Organic.

The ones leaning are being tied down. Can't tell if new tops are coming up yet though. The biggest bushiest one I tried the FIM method. Not sure if I got it right.

Was planning on giving them another 10 days before putting them on 12/12

Any feedback is appreciated! Thanks!

No feedback? Half are about a foot tall. My grow tent is 5 foot tall. I need room for the light, should I go ahead and put it on 12/12 now?

So then if these are already at 45 days now, (granted small from early problems) I should switch to 12/12 now? The current height does not have any effect on the true size of end result?

Everything looking fine and most people bud at 12" I do and I find they at least double in size should be plenty of room if you do now GOOD LUCK Rep + you doing ok

Cool. I tied down a few and a few tops are peaking out from them now... the FIMed one looks like it has 4 or even 5 tops now... I am praying I get no hermies from the HST I did on the two. It's Big Bud Femanized, which I read has a tendency to go hermie under stress. I think I might switch from the metal halide to the HPS for three days before I flower. I just want to get the ones that are tied popping up a bit more before then. Does that matter... will they just shoot up anyway?

I appreciate the feedback. Mostly I think I am just needing some reassurance what I am thinking is correct. I live on this site now. All the help I have gotten has been phenomenal even if I have been asking stupid noob questions. Thanks!

Yeah I started in Miracle Grow Organic so they grew to about 3 inches and froze for a few days. Growth halted. I ordered some Fox Farms Ocean Forest or whatever and it took a few days after re-potting them for the roots to take before growth began again. But now I know better next time. I could have been much further along.
