I'm curious as to why you plan to transplant twice? Personally I would of started them in the 7 gal pots. Sexing is the only reason I ever started in smaller pots than my finishing pots. Transplanting slows you down.Thank you. I was thinking light burn but the other plants are fine and even a couple are a little taller. Forgot to mention I do have a fan lightly blowing back and forth on them. Have not used nutes yet. Photo is day 13 from seed. I don’t plan on leaving them in the cups but for about a week but I’m judging day by day. I’ll be transplanting to 2 gal fabric pots then to 7. I have the light switched to veg only but progressively lowered it to 18" because I felt like they were stretching and it seems to have stopped and the stems are strengthening.
There are a number of reasons I didn’t want to start in my final pot. Mainly because this is my first grow and I didn’t want to waste 5-7 gal of soil per seedling which may or may not have even sprouted. Also just the cost of all that soil on top of everything else I needed to get started. I’m also looking to create a dense root system as illustrated below. Maybe on a future grow I’ll start I’m my final pots.I'm curious as to why you plan to transplant twice? Personally I would of started them in the 7 gal pots.

Welcome to the farm and happy growing!
:cool:
Thank you. I do think that is very well a possibility. I’ll be more careful with that in the future.plants look fine,all i see is were you splash water on the leaf and light burned it

That is an interesting illustration. I have never seen that before. I can see why your doing it this way. The theory makes good sense. But my fabric pots, at the end of last grow, I had to "work" the soil out of them, the whole thing was choked with roots. I forgot to mention how well your plants look.There are a number of reasons I didn’t want to start in my final pot.

I'm envious of you, and many others on here who can dedicate plenty of space for growing. I only have the one 4'x4' tent to work with, so its veg and flower. Wish I could put in a 5'x8' just for flower but no dice man. Risk.....I like to go from the cloner into 1 gals for a few weeks while I pick out winners(whether that be structure or just overall vigor of the plant) & then the winners get to go I to 7s. I always make extras cuz ya never know what might happen. It's also easier for me to maintain optimum soil moisture levels & a smaller grow footprint in a smaller pot while I figure things out. Just my preference tho, I've done it like this for a while & it works for me.

I think it's awesome that you have that space. It's a long story, better told privately, but we had to sell my Dad's estate. Back in 96. If that hadn't happened, I would have space, Lol. He had 51 acres, 2 houses, and a big barn. I'm still living adjacent to what was his, within sight of the house I was raised in. But I moved back 13 years ago after divorce. Used to live in town in a big brick house.It's nice to have a lil extra space especially with bigger plants. Prevents accidents when I'm im in there working because I can move everything around. With my old partner we would really pack em in & it was always a headache when it came to watering. Had to move half a room into the other room (which was in the dark), I let him talk me into something over our heads for the space I had. I'm much happier doing 4-5 per light & only using half the room so I have work space to move everything outta the way but still in the same room on water days.

I would be in Dad's house now by rights, and it is 2 story, 5 Br, 2 Bath, plus full basement. Then detached 28' x 40' garage, barn is 30' x 100'. So, I try not to think about that, or it would drive me nuts LOL. :cool:
Thanks man. It sucked. I was totally against it. But, what is nice now, is that I still enjoy all the land, it hasn't changed. No one has built on it, and we continue to pasture it. Lots of river frontage too. Just no where to put any plants, as the people who own it, and others, can see most of it. Believe me, if there was a way, I would of already found it. I had a hiding area outside for several years until I cleaned up this chain linked in area, now its all clean and mowed. Fence is gone.Holy cannolis man sorry to hear about that. Life has a way of doing those things. At least you got your head on straight :) Nothing in life is certain but death & taxes lol.
Looks good, temp and humidity look good, very neat set up. Plants look very happy. Good job.Day 19! They all looking good. Got them under the P600 and they loving it. Gonna get another one soon.
LOL. Probably. What strain are those again? 5 gal FFOF soil? What size tent? Lots of variables. How big you let the plants get before flowering, etc. No one knows what they are going to yield until harvest is approaching.I plan on main-lining. Im looking for 4lbs+. Am I overestimating?
