My plants survived a little over a week without me =D

My babies are 4 weeks old, plus a day or two I think. I had a very trusted someone take care of them for me while I was away lol. Some of them got huge, at least compared to what they were like a week and a half ago. One that is about average now was my best looking plant before I left.

My buddy didn't realize that he gave them a full gallon of fertilized water over the course of 2 waterings, so a few of them are a little burned. Maybe they're also too close to the lights, but that will be fixed.

Sooo.. I'm moving them into buckets of about a gallon tonight when I finally get to buy some more soil. I'm also moving them from the sink to my tub. I will put up a new shower rod to hang the lights from. What do you guys think about their appearance?

Well here is my 2 cents ..

1st The lights should be above and alongside of the tops ..
Get them out of those plastic cups
lay off the nutes for awhile ..
Good Luck Bro..

Make sure your drainage is good...
shower thing is a good idea, look at the plastic containers from
home depot/storage sheds... took one and lined with milar. plus you can use the shelves to seperate sections... water below with pump. top plants and cut holes for air circulation.... I put mine next to shower so I could still use it....
was 7 feet tall by 3 or 4 wide...
I don't like power strips so close to ground... what if water spilled in them...ouch...
try and fabricate something for those lights.. my suggestion...

Yeah, I know the lights gotta be above, but I was in a pinch. I didn't have time to rig anything. The buckets I bought are like a gallon a piece which should be more than enough for the like 6 inches of root that sticks out the drain holes =/ The lights will then be above.

I'm not giving them nutes for a long time again. And when I transplant tonight, I'm flushing them.

Yeah, the power strip thing had me a little concerned. That's why I took them out from under the sink to water them and make sure that they were finished draining before putting them back, and reusing the drainage for the next plant. I have my ghetto c02 rig in the corner so the fan won't knock it over if it falls, also sitting in a plastic cup in case it overflows.

Things will be better tonight!

whats wrong with platic cups i always start in plastic cups

They're root bound as hell now. Seriously, there's this like 4-6 inch strand that comes out my drainholes and coils around the drainage cup. They need somewhere to go. =) that's why plastic cups aren't too good.

Look at the temp in that pic its close to 90 degrees in there

I didn't think 90 would hurt them too much. I added more bulbs 2 days ago for the meantime. It was low to mid 80's before, but they needed the light I thought. I'll have to see how the temp is when I move 'em to my tub I guess.

Temps around 80 are prime ...
