Does this seedling look ok?

To late not to pot ive repotted 3 to 15ltr i repotted 8 hours ago and there doing nicely haven't drooped at all. I had to repot as the tape i put around cups was always cold to touch i was feeding and it was taking 5 days to go dryish they was basicly starving for nutes and oxygen. I find it easier to control in large pot solo cups are not for me i messed up on one i did not bury deep enough its my first time ever repotting i normally do clones . Do u think i could keep one in the 1 gal pot and keep it for clones i was going to buy a 250w cfl and keep her under that for 12 weeks

You should get used to watering properly in solo cups. :Namaste:
It may be a pain in the ass for you but it's best for you garden.
You need to build up a rootball in the cup before you up pot.
In my Heavens Shores thread there are 20 pictorials.
From how to fill and water solo cups properly to when to uppot.
And how to uppot properly.
How to fill a pot properly and a dozen others that will help you.
I kept my mom's in 7 gal Air pots, with led lighting 24/7.
You don't need a ton of light but you do need a decent size pot.
What will happen she will fill the 1 gal with roots.
She will empty it every day and eventually become root bound.
Get a 5 gal bag minimum for a mom.
Have you read Em's thread on watering a small girl in a big pot?
That will help.
If you can't find any of this stuff let me know, I'll get it for you.
Anything you need I'm always around.
Hope your having a great day my friend.
Talk soon.
Take care.

Thanks pal i still have 2 in smaller pots i will grow a root ball then repot i will check your journal i started my autoflowers in big pot last time i always potted my clones straight in big pot i couldn't get perlite as i have to watch what im bringing in past cameras they was also stretching like mad. And i think it will be cheaper to buy more seeds and light rather than a clone electric will cost loads over 3 months i was going to get a mars hydro led for my seedlings i would order one from here but im in uk i will also check the watering in big pot thread thanks bud much appreciated
 

Mars Hydro

Welcome to our website.
www.mars-hydro.com
That should be Mars Hydro UK
Put the perlite in a cardboard box marked porn, no one will look inside.
Perlite is important for aeration and reduction of compaction. ;)
Take care.

Hi pal did not realize how cheap they are 66 pound no wonder everyone was telling me to buy one i should buy a larger one it costs me 25 pound for a new bulb every grow and about 60 pound for electric for 2 weeks seedling stage does it come in parts or pre built as i can bring it in if it needs to be built. i will try get perlite i rammed my bag of coco in a freezer bag i had to un clump the coco after thanks pal

Seedling stage?
You mean a dome for them.
Not sure of the question?

i mean first 2 weeks pal i start on 250w then go to 400 for veg then 600 for flower on my grow chart it says seedling stage 2 weeks

Good evening agedmaster.
What mars light were you looking at?
Guessing by the 66 quid it's the ts600. Just a heads up that one is only a 100w board. Good for 1 plant but has no dimmer. If you're looking to use it with seeds you'd have to hang it quite high.

It might be better to look at the next one up the ts1000, it's 150w, but more important it's got a dimmer. So you can run it at lower watts for seedlings and save a bit on the electric bill.

Most lights come assembled, some times you may have to add something minor, but most of the time the light is ready out of the box. If that’s your concern then you can just build your own grow lights, bringing in specific pieces and then building it yourself. That takes a little knowledge or a lot of reading to do but is a way you can skirt around being seen.

When it comes to grow lights you often get exactly what you pay for, some times less. It all comes down to how large of an area you plan to light, how many plants you plan to grow, and what that environment is like (size, location, temperature, etc.) Some times there are aggravating factors to this like having to keep your heat signature low, or not being able to have a sudden burst in your energy bills, those are very specific situations that call for discretion. Some lights will be more effective if you’re trying to grow a few bigger plants, and some lights will be more effective if you’re trying to grow a bunch of smaller plants.. Some lights will be better for hot climates some for colder.

LEDs, fluorescent tubes/bulbs, HPS, there’s all kinds of lights for all kinds of situations. LEDs usually cost more up front but pay dividends when it comes to energy use and how long they last. I personally prefer LEDs.

There’s also grows out there that run seed to harvest under fluorescent lights only and can produce commendable harvests. I believe HPS still provides the greatest yield for cost but LEDs are quickly closing that gap, if they haven’t already.

While there is a lot of similarities and commonalities in growing, everyone’s individual spaces, and goals will truly dictate what they should be doing.

Morning.
There's a little screw on the underside of the driver you can use to dim the light.That's how they set the power at the factory.
I'm not sure a dimmer plug will be safe..I'm no electrician but I remember reading somewhere on here that those dimmer plugs aren't good for lights.

Hi pal if i get the better led could i use that for whole of veg then 600hps for flower i use a 1x1x2 tent

That's perfect.
Seedling stage doesn't require much light.
Infact I used a fluorescent sometimes.
400 to start veg is good.
Moving up 600 is great for flower.
I like more but lots of people get decent results with a Mars 300.
I ran 3 lights in my big veg room.
Probably around 500 w each.
1200w in my first flower room and 2700w in the big one.
All usually on 100% all the time.
Wrap any suspicious packages in wrapping paper.
Like birthday presents.
No one will suspect anything. ;)
Take care.
