First Timer here, few questions

started from seeds they have been going strong for two weeks now.

My question is should I move this to bigger pots? right now they are in the bio-degradable little things.


thanks fellas!

Like I said, I germed them two mondays ago, and planted them that wen.

Yes, they are stretched. Move them to bigger pots. When you transplant them, bury them to the first set of leaves. And move the light MUCH CLOSER. What kind of light are you using?

Flourescents need to be within two inches or so of the tops of each of the plants. Now that you've moved them into bigger pots you may need even more lights to get light close enough to each one so they don't stretch like mad again. Aside from that they'll be fine in those containers they're in now for a couple weeks. They should be bigger than they are already but they aren't because you didn't have enough light or light close enough before but the next two weeks will show a large jump in growth rate if you fix the light issue.

they are about an inch and 1/2 away from the light source, is that alright?

I also have a 1000w HPS with ballist I can use but I thought I wasnt supose to bring that beast out until I start flowering

They'll be ok in there for longer than just a few weeks. Most likely your whole veg cycle.

Yes he could go full cycle in those pots, depends on how small he's going to keep them and what lights he'll have to finish them. If you're staying with cfl's and won't have a lot I hope you start 12/12 fairly soon then yes those pots will be fine all the way.

What I was planning to do was get these big enough, then get clipping to see which were males and felmales, keep two females and then take clones from them down the line

*and if there were more than 2 females let the others flower

and a journal sounds fun, thank you for the idea!
