you should invest in a outlet timer man, they are only like ten bucks for a decent one. That way you can sleep in however long you want

well its friday and like i promised ned pics. i need to transplant because my roots are coming out of the drain holes. im afraid to do this dont want to hurt her but the roots look really healthy. as you can see by a couple pics the two first true leaves look like there dying i dont know if i should be worried or not. gonna take the sand off the top today. have had some pretty good growth in the past week. added another 23 w 6500k cfl. still no signs of preflowers plant is about 7 weeks and starting 3rd week of vegitive growth. so tell me what you guys think or if you have any suggestions.

thanks smokey. i do have an outlet timer however the wiring in my apt is old or and idiot installed it. when ever i turn the lights of at night the lamp in our bed room turns on or off depending if the lamp is on or not. its not a problem i got the wife to wake them up for me since she is up early for work anyways.

generally u wait 2-2.5 months till flowering supposed to be 6-8 nodes up excluding the first set

nute burn on the bottom of the leaves and the drooping could be over waterung but i cant tell cause of the sand how often do you water?

about twice a week i overwatered last time to flush out any fungus gnat larve that were left and i guess i will have to cut my nutes by half

feeed with a 1/4 strength and work it from there the plant is still small

I don't think roots coming out the bottom is a problem. They will air-prune themselves. I would think you could keep the plant in that container for the whole grow. Some people may say you would get "rootbound" and then some other people will tell you there is no such thing as "rootbound" just feed and water more as needed.

Plants look good. Good luck!

go ahead and bud it when your done fixing the problems

im still sticking to my feb 1 date i just transplanted into a 12 pot container and used some scotts premium (had the lowest fertilizer ration) it was stressfull for me and for her but no she has room to stretch her legs. i sprayed her with 1/4 strength thrive mix i have and watered her good so notouching for a few days and we will see what we see

ok well about 10 days till flower shes looking really good. will post pics soon. still having some nute burn so im still flushing but i think it will get better. i havnt watered since the transplant but its on its 7 node now with the 8 sprouting. still no for sure preflowers i only have one if its male ill make some hash if its female i jump for joy and make a little hit of hash
so pics up probably tomorrow and hope to hear from u guys

well sorry to all that have subscribed to this journal. its been a busy few weeks but since my last update a lot has happened. well i was able to get my hands on a dr150 grow tent off of craigslist and set up a slighlty ghetto grow room till i get my tax return. probably gonna get a 600w hps/mh light w/ digital ballast. so since then i have bent the tem and some other branches and tied them so i get more budding sight hoping its a girls i started 12/12 two day ago and in a few day will begin giving it the bloom nutes. i have also started about 5 w/w seeds and 15 more bag seed my next grow will be a sea of green. anyways here are some pics of my plant some feed back will be awesome. of and some of the leavers might look nute burned but last night while she was sleeping decided to grow up to some of the bulbs so i tied a few more down. the last pic is of these nifty light lifters. they work great and i never have to fiddle with strings or chains or anything. check them out you will never hit ur head on your hood and break the bulb again
