5 weeks veg... some advice pls.

Can anyone advise??

I'm 5 weeks into veg and plants look ok (stalk looking a little thin) I am using quite small grow pots (approx 6'' diameter and 10'' tall) I posted a thread a week or so back and was advised to transplant into bigger pots. This was the plan however my wife gave birth to my daughter on saturday - That means my other little ladies are getting neglated and i simply dont have a spare minute to transplant and re-pot them.

What i'd like to know is if i can go into flowering in these smaller pots as i dont have a spare minute and wont have over the next few weeks, to re-pot. I just want to get them on 12/12 lighting now and start flowering. Will i still get a half decent yield in these smaller pots?

Also - do the plants continue to grow and get bigger / taller on 12/12 or do they just flower? maybe i should post some pics?

Rookie questions i know but with my daughters arrival i dont have the time to get it 100% right.

Any help appreciated. Thanks

Yea I'd post some pics for others to see, but those pot sizes don't sound that bad you can go maybe a little bigger but 6'' diameter isnt that bad. And during flowering plants almost double in size so whatever it is now its gunna get a lot bigger.

they will double in size the first two weeks of 12/12 cuz of the lack of light then they will calm down and bud. Id transplant if u can. congrats on ur new baby, have a cigar. if u cant transplant then im sure u will get something just not as much.

ive actualy got two plants in my 12/12 room in 6" pots they have jus gone in but have streached loads allready ill post some pics if u like???

ya post some pics. i will try and get some snaps of mine uploaded tomorrow also. What do you mean when you say they've streached loads already? grown?

cigar smoked and champagne consumed ! hic !

in the short space of time they been in 12/12. they grew bout 8 inches in hight

You should transplant them into bigger pots when you move them to 12/12. They're going to take off. I use 2 gallon pots in flower.

OK - As much as i want to transplant i really havent got the time.

Here as some pics of 2 (i have 10 in total) - these two are an average of all 10. (pics attached, i hope i've uploaded correctly ?!?!?!?!) They are White Widow BTW.

Whats going on down the bottom too... i have some deadness on some at the bottom and others are starting to go a little yellow. Not enough light maybe???? Not enough water??? Should i be concerned ?

As i say - will putting them on 12 12 in these smallish pots still give me a half decent yield?? will have to take my chances due to time restraints and when i start the next 10, i can begin in larger pots.

I guess its a learning curve and this is my first attempt so plenty has been learnt already.

Also - Any advise on ferts for flowering? ( i reside in the UK therefore US fert suggestions i may not be able to get)

WHAT DO MY BABIES LOOK LIKE AFTER 5 WEEKS???? I have nothing to compare against. Good / Bad / Average?

Thanks

(they are healthy, but a lil streched imo) and why the fuck they dun have branches....u lolipop them?!?!?

??????? branches?? Whats lolipop?

As i say, i wont have time to re-pot. Will have to take my chances in these small ones.

never mind dude....gratz on ur child dude..

Congratulations on your child.
If you don't transplant your plants you should think about giving them some nutes. looks a little N deficient.

cheers dudes...

what nutes will i need - i was just going to get some tomato food as heard this was pretty good. Any other suggestions ?

Thanks again.

I will be using Jacks Classic. Check out my grow journal or click here. They have a page that will allow you to locate a supplier in your area. This is a product recommended in the grow faq. Use the "all purpose" during veg and the "bloom" during flowering. It also happens to be a relatively innexpensive product.

Good luck.
