Nizzze so far. I have mine in the same container I think. 2qt? I only had a 2x2 box then. I topped mine very early and 12/12 from seed. I finish in two quart containers but now I have a bigger grow box I will probably get a 3 gal container. I wouldn't grow it bigger than 18 inches or so in that container.

bmeat, i've heard that you aren't a reliable source of info, so i will check on the transplant time. ty anyway
Ah man u crack me up already...ur doin' good man, but even tho I'm a n00b, I'd still have to know the size pot ur in before I could say when to replant, if it's like a 20 oz cup or something, then ya put it in a bigger one, but if it's a half gal pot or so, then ur fine..mine are still in coffee containers (about 1/2 gal) and they're 22 days now..

Can I ask why you start ur sprouts on 12/12, I'm a n00b and all, but I still know about photosynthesis and how plants get not only energy from light, but chemically alter the suns rays to make their own much needed food and nutrients...just askin..

I only grow for three months so its quicker. I didn't have a separate box for flowering so I found that it would still grow fine on 12/12 from seed. There is a thread on 12/12 from seed

Now those looked awesome, I was wondering cuz I'm doing my first grow using CFLs. I have a 5'8"wx2'dx6't closet in the back room and 2'wx2'dx3't nursery, still need more lights, but actually thought about taking 1 of them to 12/12....my oldest is 21 days from sprout (Blue Rhino)...

Yes they will be fine on 12/12 and top and 4th or 5th node like mr2shim said. You should look into LST (low stress training) also. Happy growing :joint:
