looking about time to transplant? gonna slow down growth shortly being in a small pot.
bit wet of soil for the yellowing? would not have a nute deficiency being this small.
find bulbs you were looking for?
 
Yea was thinking about transplanting but its only been a week. Would like to get some root mass before i do it though. Also need more lights but its a week til payday. I will add in at least one more 6500k and one 2700k, both 23 watters. When i do transplant i also want(need) to top it. Should i go straight to its final pot or go one size up and transplant again down the road?

the taproot like to go deep so i use a solo cup for about 10 days. then go into atleast 3 gallon pot sometimes a 5 gallon depending on size of plant i want.
some people like to up pot a bunch of times i like the no hastle do it once. have done it both ways but like those roots to have plenty of room to stretch their legs.
as for lights my lemon thai kush is 2 weeks old with 3rd set of leaves out with 2 23w 5000k bulbs 1-2 inches from it and seems to be about all the light it can handle.

I still use 6500k a lil, but I am going away from them to the 4000k cfls [if I do use cfl's, which I still do in veg] 6500 is just too much blue, although they do put out good UV, comparably to the other spectrums.

Right now I have a 3500k and 4000k in veg both 13w's, nothing crazy. Like that setup the best according to curves.

Ok so, yes i did end up transplanting yesterday. Its nice and perky this morning. Growing real nice with tight spacing. Third set of leaves are sporting seven fingers. Sure hope its a girl. Been slacking on the cab due to lack of funds. Just been keeping a door open with a fan blowing across the front. Will need more light and some ventilation real soon. Thanks to everyone for stopping by.
 
Ok so both seedlings are transplanted and it looks like the runt is coming around. The bigger one is looking real nice. Too nice in fact. I know i'm gonna have to top it but it just looks so nice, i hate that i gotta take the shears to it. So now it has me thinking of just flipping to 12/12 and see what happens. Damn you beautiful plant! Any advice to help decide would be most welcome. But in the meantime, here are a few pics....20131128_072636.jpg20131128_072619.jpg20131128_072603.jpg20131128_072541.jpg

I have been gradually dropping my periods and I did with CFL.

Didn't matter if it was a Sat or Indica. I would gradually drop the last couple weeks of veg and feed normal, then start in 10-15 day increments starting @ 14 on/10off. Every 10-15 days, I start adding a half hour to the off cycle. This my 1st attempt with LED bulbs and they love it. A bit slow, but I turned them off an extra half an hour, starting 2nite.[13 on/11 off Day 19F] So, hopefully they can start packing it on in the next week or so.

Lately what I have seen advocated and making the most sense [IMHO] in a general sense: 12/12 for Indicas and 13/11 for Sat's.
