u want to pour ur water at the base of the stem so it travels straight to the roots then a bit of water round the rest of the plant i only water every 2-3 days depending on the plant and my bigger pots i puncture some holes round the sides of the pots to help with aeration

Cool ! I too will make some minute holes ! Latest update with pictures !
Temp-82.4
Humidity-74
2 80 watt cfl for weedy(1st plant)
1 23 watt cfl for 2 seedlings
Strain-heavyweight fruit punch photo period
Looking for advice if i am wrong in anything ! I am thinking that weedy is growing little slow ? She is on here 12th day counting from paper towel.i buried her till cotyledon while transplanting. Looking for advice !Thnx in advance

I think weedy the temps might b slightly high but if thats only 12 days from paper towel method then i think she looks ok...its early days. Some strains r slower than others to grow If u think u been over watering give her a couple days to dry out a bit then water just enuf. its early days but if i fo this for the next week or two u will see the difference whether she is going to take off or not. I had 1 cfl bulb over my plant for 2 weeks then shes been outside in the sun for the last 10 or so weeks and rem to get them cfls close to ur plant how far away are your bulbs from the plants now??how l9ng have u had the others in the humidity dome?? i also meant bury up to the cot leaves on your final repot lol. As i said weedy l99ks ok for only 12 days Can u feel how damp the soil is at the bottom of ur pot with weedy??R u in the uk?? n no i dont do no social apps like facebook,instagram etc

The soils moist level is around the moist(not wet).
I am using an 85 watt cfl for weedy ie.3 inches away from plant
And for the rest i transplanted one seedling into pot and followed your idea of burying till cotyledon.
I am in china
Latest pics from all my 3 plants
With whole setup

yeah from that picture she looks fine If shes moist id leave another day to dry out tho mahe sure ir pots can get aired from underneath aswell as this will help with aeration I put my plant on top of couple bits of 2x1 I find it helps the roots a lot
Just keep doing what ur doing with weedy n u 2ill see results in a week or 2 as she does look healthy enuf
just b patient my friend and tome will tell

set up looks fine for a couple of plants tho i prefer my cfl directly above the plant as i feel its directly getting into the stem But thats just my thoughts as your plants grow i would defo get some more cfl for the side lighting. do u have a fan running in there? what is ur weather in china like at the moment? A few more pics of my lady hopefully she will flower very soon

Here it is around 28°c in afternoon
Yeah..i have a doubt on the placement ! Whether should i bulb facing vertically above the plant or horizontal above the plant ?

What strain are you growing ? Do you use cfl too? How many plants ? Can i see your whole setup

vertical growing is a thing, but it's kind of like running a vertical scrog, you get a lot better results if you start training the plant to it very early

i would put it up directly above the plant as theres no side branches yet so i wouldnt worry too much about side lighting yet U say its 28 degrees outside, if your weather is going to stay that warm for a while i would give weedy another week then put her outside in the sun Natural sunlight is the best light resource and will really take off and if ur weather gets bad at least u have your grow room But i would say get her outside soon an u will see a big difference. Like i said my plant was only under a cfl bulb first 2-3 weeks 2 inch directly above the plant and shes been out in the sun for about 10-12 weeks so my plant is mainly from growing in the sun. Happy growing my friend and where bouts in china r u from?

I am from shenyang ! Btw i have heard that moving your pot often causes stress for plants ! Is it true or a myth ?? I am eager to see your grow room setup

moving the pot doesn't really cause stress, but putting the plant in a different environment daily can. if you're moving it in and out of the house, try to put it back in the same spot every day. they get used to the same conditions, and changing it too often can be very stressful.
you can also spread mites and thrips to your houseplants, so make sure you treat them as well, if you have any problems.

This is just a bag seed from a nice bit of cheese strain. I only had a couple of seeds so didnt think they would do much so i didnt set a grow room up this time. i just built a small wooden crate/box couple of cfls for a couple of weeks then stuck her outside for the rest of the time and the sun has done the rest. have you checked your forecast Is your weather goin to b that hot for a while? if so get weedy outside m8 and watch the difference in growth and as roger said if u need to bring it in on the nite put it in the same place then put her out every day in the sun she will thrive in the sun
