Gotcha, I'm using one of those dual window fan on the bottom to intake air and a carbon filter w/ a inline duct fan set on medium. I just wish I could've found a quitter inline fan.

now that you’ve gotten the growing bug! haha, always replace your equipment with industrial style as it’ll be working 24/7.. and ya don’t want a fire!
i’ve gone through fans that cost $50-250 all crap as they breakdown usually after around a year, must don’t even move the air around properly enough. so i bought an industrial style fan and it’s already paid for itself and it does the job.. all parts are replaceable.. these fans generally start at 500 bucks and up..

Just wondering if I should transplant this one or wait another week?

I take cuttings from a mother and run them through a cloning tent using cocopeate pods and as soon as the roots start showing I put them into 165mm pots with balanced cocopeat into a veg room witch consists of 1 600w HPs and 4 weeks after that they go to my flower room witch consists of 5 - 600w leds and 300m pots also cocopeat. My cuttings are heaps smaller and full of roots and thrive as soon as I put them into the veg room.

Considering that he's already started in soil, the OP is not likely to make the switch to hydro until after this one is harvested. With that said, the pictures suggest that his interests and hobbies align with hydro and a switch in the future might be right up his alley ...

Let's help him through his soil grow first and then he can make the switch if he chooses.

Sorry guys should have looked about better. Didn't realise this was outdoor. When it comes to soil I'll Im probley not the best answer as IV never grown from soil. But any advice on veg, flower, nutritions, pretty much anything hydroponic using cocopeat I can help you out with if you choose to go that way next time. Best of luck and happy gardening

I'm growing indoors in a small tent for now. Unless you call growing in soil outdoors? Well I ended up transplanting her this morning because that pot was too small. I just went ahead and planted in the 7 gall (lmao) fabric pot so I don't have to transplant again plus it's just the one. She looks better today. I think I was starting to experience a calcium or magnesium Def. I wasn't aware to use the cal-mag more often because I'm using ro with a starting tds of between 0-3. The tds stuff is easy for me because I actually breed caradina shrimp which require very precise water parameters. But here she is today. Pot is a little wet but I have a fan blowing at the side to help aeration. There's pics of the ppfd and lux and oli

Sorry the top is the accurate one. The other was an accident.

Just be careful not to water too frequently. Someone who has some experience under their belt can make that jump in pot size successfully. For the person who is still learning the art of growing in soil, it's not the easiest way to manage their grow. Just be careful and avoid the urge to water too frequently.

I definitely will, she should be good for a bit. Im guessing that slight yellowing on a couple tips was from me not adding cal-mag and just using straight ro. That pot was so small I underestimated how fast she'd need it. But here's 2 pics one was about a week or so ago and then today. First one was the 24th of Dec.

How long should I wait to top? I think she's close. I'd like to try and keep her kinda short cause the tent.

There's a lot that goes into the decision whether to top or not ... and when. Really, in my opinion it all depends. How much vertical space do you have? Is there adequate space to allow the plants to bush? Would LST be a better option ... because sometimes it is.

Typically I won't top at all but that's because I don't want to wait the extra weeks for the cut vegetation to replace itself with new growth. I would not top just because everyone else is doing it. I would top to control the space and how the plant fills it. Some of this is strain dependent. I grow 75% indica/25% sativa. If I grew more sativa I would likely be topping more. Almost everything I grow now is under nets and I still bend/super crop instead of top (most of the time).

Find out what you can about the growth pattern of the strains you're growing. You already know the space you have. Put some thought into it and I bet you'll come up with the answer that best fits your grow.

It's only a 2x2x4 1/2 tent. I'd like to keep it shorter cause there isn't much height space for it to grow up. I'm definitely open to LST. I've seen some videos and I have one of those square things that help spread out the main flowering branches

The strain is OG Kush if that helps.

It's growth has slowed because your seedling is building up it's root zone. It's actually very actively growing right now below the soil surface. Your plant has zero sign of problems at the moment. I'd wait a bit longer before up-potting though.

Be more successful by hurrying up and then sitting down and smoking a bowl. Make sure the material is really well soaked before you do the deed. Should be great.

The limited height will force your hand. However, as @GNick55 stated, you just transplanted. Give them at least a little time to move into their new homes prior to doing anything.

I grew OG Kush in my greenhouse a couple of summers ago. It's completely different than an inside grow. With that said, the OG Kush genetics I grew wanted to grow very large and very tall. These plants were started inside in the middle of May and transplanted to the greenhouse on June 22nd. They were about 16"-18" tall. After several toppings I still struggled to keep them out of the roof of my greenhouse. What am I saying? OG Kush can grow pretty large given the opportunity and environment.

Would you mind giving kinda of like a step by step like when to start veg, how long and when to start flower? Kinda doing it as I go. Definitely not in a hurry. I'd rather be patient and get it right.
