New to rollitup *pics*pics*pics* First time grow need help

I'm new to the site still learning how to navigate it anyway this is my first grow and it's been about 3 weeks since I put the germinated seed in the soil. This plant seems to grow more root wise than on verticle growth. Just reaching over 3 and a half inches. I have roots coming out of the bottom of the pot but I transplanted a week ago. From solo cup to 1 gallon. I had a few questions if anyone can help me out. One leaf seems to have this weird looking glaze to it. It's somewhat brown. Doesn't look very bad but just wanted to know what it meant. Also I fimmed my plant yesterday I wanted to see if you guys can tell if I did it right.

She looks great! the spot is probably a place you splashed when watering. Not much to worry about. As far as topping...You will did just fine. The plant will start branching now.

It's my first grow and I know I should just let the plant be but every little thing worries me. What about the roots coming out the bottom should I transplant or no? Thanks for the quick response pastime

You don't need to transplant right away. I would do it at least 2 weeks before you flower though. What are you using for light? Size of grow room?

I'm using 4 cfl 24w 5k 1600 lumens each my grow room is a closet about 4x4 feet 8 feet high @pasttimes

I would wait about 2 weeks (Basically once you see the plant recovering from the topping, and started growing again). Then transplant, veg 2 weeks, and flower. Probably going to end up needing a few more lights because the plant will double in height in the first 3 weeks of flower

Sounds good I was thinking about getting more light too I'm probably just gonna get more CFLS it's just one plant for personal so I don't mind if I don't get much from harvest. Btw can you tell if I did the fim correctly or did I just completely top my plant? @pasttimes

They look fine to me, too.


I'm new to growing also, so I may not know what I'm looking at, but they look good - Your leaves are nice and green, your stems look strong and green, nothing seems to be wilting, drying out or changing color in a strange way and your roots are growing.
