Current set up: 20 X Kush babies from seed 2 weeks old, under 4 X 23W and 2 X 42W CFL. Soiless Promix soil, and have used DNF nutes at 1/4 solution and everyone is doing GREAT!.

I have a 400W MH conversion bulb ready to go and the room set up to RUN, however, do I upcan first and then put them under the new light (hung up high) or get them outta the veg cab and get them under the big light, couple days, then upcan to the 2gallon pots.

LMK what you think.

I just got back from the Hydro store and buddy runnin the shop says to wait out till the babies have established a nice root system, then transplant and then light em up.

You got it; roots and leaves are connected, and strong roots means strong foliage growth when given the light.

Holy Shizznit I just checked the babies, and for two weeks Im amazed, the roots are all growing out the bottom of the pots.

My go to guy says they have to be upcaned to 6 inch pots and put under the big light.

LMK if anyone advises againts this. I plan on transplanting tomorrow.

Well I didnt have any six inch pots, so into the 2 gal they went and under the big light.

I'll post back to say whether they have flourished or died. Wish me luck.
