anyone???
They look like they are just reaching for the light bro, not a problem doing that.
Regarding the different shapes, they are maybe more indica dominant as oppose to sativa, if you see in my grow I have each going and they are very very different, one has fatty fat leaves the other slender. Yes indeed, like cabbages haha
I think they meant not a problem to have too many plants ever! But yes of course it will get extremely crowded in there and will be difficult in a small space with ten plants. The 600 watt light is good enough for them its just lack of space. they will treble in size during flowering so you wont want them to get too big perhaps before going into flowering stage. Make sense? You just need to think ahead a little

ok mate thanks, treble in size both ways? hight and width? this is me first grow and with the lack of expieriance il ask, from your point of view, if it was your grow with these plants and this space... how large would you let them veg before going on 12/12? remembering the blue himalayen are finished at 55days from seed. cheers.... i see wat you mean with leaf shapes i drop by regular to your grow

here is a pic of 35 girls that I'm just about to flip to flower...the smaller ones need about 4 more days...so you can get an idea on size....

hi all, i transplanted my plants into the big pots 3 days ago as you can see from the piks iv posted, i let the soil dry out, filled the new pots, made the shape in soil of the old pot, and transplanted them, the old small pots were covered in roots once i took them out you couldnt realy see much soil just roots. i today just piked up a few of the new pots and already there are roots poking through the holes in the new big pots. there are 2 of the blue cheese and 1 himalayen that are doing this. i assume its not healthy to have roots out of the soil. what should i do if anything, i can put piks on of this if use like?
You were in about a 1m x 1/2m x 2m height room if I rememeber right?
Height isnt an issue for you, I wouldnt be LSTing or anything to get them bushier, tall and skinny would be more ideal in this case. It of course depends on the strain, try to find some strain guides or other peoples grows on here of the same plant.
In my opinion, hopefully others will back it up, you have room for about 4 of those babies only on average if you flower them at around 1.5 foot tall or so.
How many litres are the pots amigo? If they are rooting already that is v quick root growth! tip them out a little and see if they are webbing. Again, some recent pics in my grow shoing abundant root growth meaning they needed transplanting. (It could be wise to repot again, altho probabaly not ready after 3 days!)

2 roots popping throughone middle left hole one other side lower
this is the plant itself, day 11 and 3 days from going into 9 litre pot

Need to tip out the pot to see the roots on the outside of the soil.. they certainly shouldnt be filling those pots in 3 days. Mine were in 3.5l pots for about 2 weeks but some strains might be different of course.
2 feet depth is yer problem as I see it, 2 of my cheese side by side are over 2 feet across already, half way through veg! They will be reallly fighting for light if you have too many you know, like in leaves crossing other plants and shading them? They need a bit of space per plant.
