Thanks. I appropriate that. I didnt know what to think about them because it looks so much different. But I think they do like my LED lamp. They are growing just fine. Just not up.

If the 3 plants in the cabinet go well. Then I want another LED. However, I know the cab is small. If I run outta room I will do just 2 plants next time.

I may buy me another LED for... Christmas or something... Just in time for Flowering

I don't think you understand, they will bush out very wide. Wider then your panel, and at 3ft tall from the soil, the panels light width/length/penetration will only be able to fit over one plant, maybe 1/3 of a second. Realistically you will want to relower your panel after the flowering stretch, since they aren't going to grow anymore. 1 panel per plant is ideal.

Honestly I dont want to transplant every month if I dont have to. Thats why I went from 1 gal to 3 gal. But I was seeing roots coming from the 1 gal so I did want to move them to the larger pot.

Just watch it, you deffinately don't want it to get root bound, that's when all it does is grow down below, but i have always just started in my 5 gallon buckets for my dirt mix grows and my dwc, and I still never had a root bound plant. So my opinion stop switching up pots cause your shocking the plant every time you do. I changed pots for my first 4-5 grows, then I got the pointer from a very good friend who got me started. He had been growing since I was about 2 yrs old lol, he was much older and wiser, So I took his advice as starting your plant in it's ending pot,, and I never had a problem. So do what you think is best. But maybe just take 1 seed that you really don't mind if it wins or loses and try my method just once and drop it in a 5 gallon, (you can germinate if you want to like in paper towels or however you germ, and put it straight into your 5 g pot (that's best end pot I have grown 6 ft plants out of a 5 g pot with no issues and still room to go, also with the dwc method 7 1/2 feet in 5 gallon bucket, no joke, no lie,) so give it a try I'm sure if you do it the way I say,, you will be very pleased and so will your lady, less stress on you both. Good luck and give it a try..
