My bad Cobra, here u go........Pics include rubbermaid tub that plants will eventually go in....A couple of books that I read, thats where I got the milk jug idea....My Ag baby got burned by a cfl that it grew into, otherwise she looks healthy and bushy as hell to me......I say she just for the Karma effect, no Boys pls.......Also included are my nutesthat I will be using......Luckily I have at least 2 Hydro stores right by that I can always refer to.....Will be purchasing an HPS for flowering......Just had to get thru hollidays this year...You know how it is.....I have a couple of questions for guys....Should I transfer my milk jugs to 5 gallon jugs from Home depot, like 1.10 a piece, just for the roots and algae effect or willthey be cool?...Secondly this is the 3rd week from seed, Should I go ahead and start flowering now or wait a week or so? Well input is greatly appreciatted and critisizm as well....Just keep the critisizm constructive....

So far, so good... I'd give them another week before you start flowering if you have the time and the overhead space. Assume a 3-4X height growth when you go 12/12.. I know - it's hard to believe that looking at them now.

5-gal is more pot space than you need; 2-3 gal is plenty. I grew mine out to 5 feet in 2-gal pots -- the roots filled up the pot, but were nowhere near root-bound. If you're growing huge, long-maturing haze strains indoor for 5-6 months, maybe 5 is good, but still overkill IMO.

Good luck..

And be careful with those FF nutes -- they're acid as hell out of the bottle; pH 'em up for sure, and start at 1/4 of what they recommend. Bear in mind, too, that it takes at least a week to see whether a nute feed is well-tolerated or not (so, if you pile 2-3 feedings into a week or so, you can get in a lot of trouble before you even notice something is going wrong).

Wait..what do you mean everything looks good?Your plants look stressed.The leaves look dry and brittle in a couple of shots.What's the growing medium?Are you using too high a nute mix? I think you are.How often do you water?

Thanks for stopping in Oilshell... the stress is probably from the move from the Ag to milk jugs imo....I could be wrong though....The medium is hydroton pellets....Nute mix was first administered on the 19th and thats when they took off, growth was visible every day....I have only given nutes twice, then spring water in between when level dropped.....

try and keep it in between 5.7-5.8

they might just be hungry too, so when you do the rez change upp the nutes a lil and see how much they like
