K heres the deal...I Got six seedlings from a kid who didint know what he was doin. First off he put all six in one container an had them in the shade. So now i've had them for a good week now an their doin great. Now that your up to speed lets get started. When i got them i put them in my back yard, but now i have them in my "getto grow box". Its a 1ft x 8" an a foot deep. They are reachin for two 26 watt soft cfls...pics below

Yes. Transplant ASAP and be very careful of root damage. The roots will be growing all tangled together with them so close. I wouldn't wait, either. The roots are growing like crazy right now. It will make it much harder and more tramatic if you wait.

Peace.

Ya i know! I've been trying to figure out how im gonna cut them out. They are no more than half inch away from each other! I will be sure to take pics of trans plant!!!

instead of transplanting, you could top each of them down a few nodes and root the tops (that'll be a few nodes high) in some rockwool then replant once the tops are going again... then just let the leftover parts of plants die...

that might be a good idea, i dunno, i'm high =]

Ya but the current container is on like 1ftx4''...six plants...no root space. I did have toping in mind though..after transplant.

Whoa, I would keep from turning these into Frankenstein. Less trauma equals more buds.

Jack the Ripper probably would have been a sorry ass ganja grower!

SAVE THE BUDS.

Peace.

the topping is to make clones, and only for that reason, once they are growing, you can top those semi-new plants (clones really) and go on from there... but the cloning is basically just to start anew butr with the same plants further along in growth than starting from seed all over agian... then you don't have to worry about tangled root masses... just treat it like you are taking clones...

if cloning is more advanced than you want to try, don't do it
do what your comfortable with

best of luck!!!

plus, the foil is whats cooking it inside there... some better would be white plastic or mylar... and make sure that if you are using the foil if your set on that, then make sure its the flat side facing the plants, not the shiny

We'll have to see about cloneing. they are only 4''-6'' tall, an yes that is the flat side of the foil, i read that on here today an had to flip it all around. This site is just a wealth of wisdom!

If you could drop another 5 degrees, groovy. If not, don't trip on what you can't control. 90 degrees isn't a death sentence. You'll be fine.

and if you could post a pick of all the plants from the side, i could do some quick stuff in paint and show you what i mean for the topping...

if not, i can draw something up (real shitty, but you'll get the idea)... hope i can help some!

first off... judging by height, watch those for on the right for being male... they are all uniformally taller than the two on the left... if its from the same bud, then that might be a good indicator... but anyways, off to work on that pick!

Thanks man, im reading up on rock wool as we speak. as for the tall ones. Not sure if they are the same strain or not. I remember the kid sayin he had diffrent seeds from diffrent people. But dont worry i got my eye out. I think i may go half an half...half transplant half clone. An yes you are very helpful, thanx
