this is my plant in week three (its a clone from a thai bag seed plant). I transplanted it to this pot about a week ago and the roots are already coming through the bottom of the pot.. should i transplant it again?

also im using a cfl blue spec 45w bulb (im on a very small budget so i can only afford a couple lights) i got the same light but red spectrum and about 5 more smaller ones for flowering.

i also noticed that the lower set of leaves on the right hand side are slightly yellow, where as the top sets are nice and green. Could this be because i need to transplant or because of some other reason?

well ima tell u something but i dont know if it would help, u should of transplanted em to like 3gallon pot or 5 so it can last u true out the vegg flower to harvest :) if i were u,i would get some cfl's some light bulb sockets so when u go to flowering if u go with Mh lights.then it would be kinda cheaper. hope this helps just my toughts,The yellow stuff can be from over watering,high or low Ph level,meaning its not in the right Ph level it should be or a lil bit too much nutes

re-potted yesterday and altered my LST so that the plant was closer to the edge of the pot. Some of the leaves are still yellow (mainly the bottom set/s) but it looks good. Haven't started using nutes yet tho.

looking good conor, you still wanna bring the plant closer to the edge of the pot so you can start making its way around the pot, you probs could start using half strength nutes soon. but try get hold of some tomato feed or something and try work out what your plant is lacking that is making it yellow and buy a fertilizer stronger in that. coz i dnt think that all purpose stuff is good, but probs better than nothing

yh, how much did the nute stuff you have cost? and i was looking on some site yesterday and it said that yellowing leaves was caused by magnesium deficiency but im not sure what stuff to get which is richer in magnesium.

and i did what you said about bringing the plant closer to the edge of the pot.

yh that looks good, maybe slightly to tight but it dnt matter. and it will say on the bottle what percentage of magnesium it has
