Well I shouldn't say that.. It depends on how bushy/lengthy your plants are.

Re: First Timer - Feedback Welcome
i was just doin some research about pot sizes and being root bound and one signs wilting and i allready have that on my one big plant "12 inches" so it probably wants a bigger pot and it wouldent hurt the rest .
plants are all beetween 8 and 10 inches minus the topped ones there about 5 with 4-8 bud sites though . planning on veging for another 2-3 weeks so a new pot would be a good idea . and theese pots i have are pre made passive wick systems they work pretty good i notce a difference over my homemade pots forsure.

i repotted my one really nice topped plant and it was root bound 100% forsure and its not even my biggest plant . safe to say i need bigger pots 100% forsure inorder to take theese plants to 2 feet .

Re: First Timer - Feedback Welcome
went to turn my lights on this morning and one of them wouldent power up . ballist was hissin away but no light . started looking at the bulb and noticed this . . .
then this
dammit . bulb burnt out . no WAY it had even 5000 hours on it so im pretty mad but w.e i needed to get a different bulb anyway. hopefully i can find one local today.
i hope running my plants off 1 light for a while doesent hinder them to bad .

Re: First Timer - Feedback Welcome
repotted everything . all of my pots were root bound . hoping to get 1 and 1/2 feet out of the new plack bots . and even more from the pales . i put a couple dime sized holes in the bottom of the pales for air
also picked up a new light off a friend of a friend "lol"
he will be giving me aproxx 300 more watts of CFL at 6500K in exchange for some clones after my first harvest . new bulb will be here next week for my MH too . looking for a 8-1000W hps for flowering in a different room too .
plants are looking good . all about 1- 12 inches high except the 2 tiny ones .

8 + 1000w for the flowering room
Based on 12/12 flowering period thats 96 KW a day - 672 KW a week - lets say an average flowering period of 8 weeks 5376 KW of electricity.
Thats some serious hobby grow

lol , yea i wanna have the something equal or better for the flowering stage . i might just buy 2 conversion bulbs instead but a new light would allow me to have a 3 stage cycle and i found a 1000W one with a digital ballist local for 60 bucks so i cant go wrong lol . might pick it up will see.
picked up a new bulb today . a sylvania metalarc pro-tech HD MP cant find anything about it on the net but it was only 42 bucks and its working so im happy . im sure the plants will be happy to be back up to 800+ watts now . here is a pic

Man, youve been doing great on thus grow. Youve had some scares with bulbs burning out but man your plants dont look bad. Your topping looked good, your fimming i can tell got done a litte off. New fan leaves are popping up damaged, so you missed the plants "brain" and scraped some new leaves. Either way thats why fim stands for "fuck i missed" ill be fimming here soo so ill see first hand how hard it is.
The plant you topped will shoot off 2 main stems and after that fimming the 2 shoots will give u an amazing lookin plant in bloom

plants are 6 weeks old today ! most of them are 10 inches or taller . heres a few pics!
THE BEANS
i dont know hwo they got in my soil but i thought ide snap a quick pick of a old pot where they sprouted and i was to lazy to pull them as i am not going to use the soil again anyway
every day i have 2 or 3 of theese little bastards pop up in my pots . must have been the potting soil i picked up to repot with .

ya dude did you use soil from your garden or something? haha im sure its not bad for the plant but your soil shouldn't have any contaminants .
your plants look really good dude and i like the long florescent light in the middle for some added lighting. keep up the good work brotha!

im going to upload some updated pics shortly . gotta make a trip to pickup a HPS light to start flowering but the plants are looking good . except one . i took a vacation and someone else was watching them . i cam back and 3 plants were sick and 1 still is . hoping it pulls through . new growth looks allright but alot of the food leaves are badly damaged . i think it was over watering and either to hot or to cold . not 100% sure maybe once i post pics someone can help out .
