to little space

Hey whats up guys, so about 6 weeks ago i put 5 seeds in a half gallon pot and they all grew, and i have a bad history with replanting plants all the plants i replanted died, so my question is what do you guys think i should do?lots of the plants bottom leaves are turning slightly yellow and am getting worried, also it looks from the bottom of the pot(its a seethrew pot) like all the roots are tangled. so any advice please.

ick looks like you have quite a problem on your hands here. unfortunatley, theres not much you can do here, this is rule number 1-5 when planting, use only 1 pot to prevent this from happening, what you could do is start killing off the weakest ones, eventually ending up with 1 strong one and once it starts vegging it will quickly out grow those roots and forget they were ever there, first off transplant them all into a bigger pot, after this, i would start selection and pick out the strongest daily and kill one off every day until you have 1 or 2, then maybe try to transplant one, thats what i would do, but personally, i would not have planted many in one, sorry i hope this helps good luck

Yea did that now.. cut out all the weaker ones.. have about 6 plants left lol.. i mean seeds isnt a problem i have plenty of those.. would you happen to know how to tell if its female or male? thats my biggest factor right now.. i dont have a clue were im supposed to look.. thank you

If you want to save all of them, take the plants and dirt out of the pot and put them into a large cooking pot or something else that will hold the entire root mass - then, fill the cooking pot with lukewarm water...........let it soak for a while (15 minutes) and the dirt will start coming apart (you're gonna need to agitate it at the end to get all of it out of the roots), and when the dirt's 90% out of the roots, you can start GENTLY pulling the root systems apart from each other.

It's not very hard at all, but BE GENTLE.

After you've pulled them apart, make sure to only plant one per pot.

you wont be able to tell until the begining of flowering stage

BTW, those plants are much to young to be sexed - you're gonna need at least another couple of weeks before you've even got a shot.

Do a search, there's tutorials on here for that.

there much bigger now, and when does flowering stage start? how will i know when its going to start? trust me i read all this all day. i just cant get it through my head... lol i want everything perfect for my first time..

thats what she said

flowedring starts when the plant becomes mature usually a good sign of maturity is alternating nodes at this poit you will want to switch your light cycle to 12/12

Oh alright.. and 18 6 is what vegetation is recomended?

18/6 is acceptable but a lot of growers use 20/4 or 24/0 during veg

for how long is recomended for the vegetation cycle to go trhough? like for how long should i use this lighting schedule until i switch over to the flowering stage?

How tall do you want your plants to be? It varies by strain, but a rule of thumb is that the plant's height is going to increase by 1.5x during flowering.

That being said, figure out your height restrictions and work backwards from there.

just start over and put one seed per pot my>>

yeah it also depends on the genetics of a plant, it wont start flowering unless its ready unless its mature

ok sounds good... i just dont understand why they need so much room... what if they keep growing in the same space? what will happen>
