That's a great lookin dog. I love pits, got a pitbull/german sheperd mix myself. Sweetest and smartest dog ever. Be careful, though. My other dog (who isn't so smart) has eaten 1 of my plants and half of another. BABY GATES!!!

LOL great looking dogs guys. Tryin' yeah dogs are straight magnets man. Hazyeyes your comment got me thinking happy thoughts of lots of Buds:-) lets just hope we can nab a few ladies out of this bunch. I feel kinda dumb,lol I thought I could trust a soil PH tester you know like the 10 dollar jobs you just stick into the soil. Well The more i read up on here i tossed it and am just PH ing my water and runoff. I am still pretty confident the PH is straight by the looks and feel of the plants. I am thinking about transplanting the bubbilicious atleast 4 seem really ready so I thought I would put it off a week.Any suggestions? i was gonna get them right into the 2 gal pots.

I went from little 1" diameter starter plugs straight to 2 gallons. Growth will slow a little but once the root system is in place you will be duly rewarded.

yeah i after i transplant them and get the bulbs mixed i want to throw a 4 bulb t5 on the far wall and get 2x(2) bulb ones for each side I think it will work and if I have to upgrade my exaust fan to a 6'' I can do that(440cfm). I don't know we'll see b/c 40k isnt 98k of lumens that you get with a 600hps either way you look at it but i would take 80k of t5 output over them all in my room:-) MARED, i think i am gonna give the bub 1 more week than go for it.

Hey guys, i wanted to know what you thought of what i created. I really wanted to give support to a few of the bubbilicious plants without risking tying strings arount the stem or twisting ties around them. So i went to the store and saw bamboo skewer sticks and bought some hair barretts. i cleaned the barretts with paroxide and rinsed them, threw on a pair of latex gloves and gently put the bamboo skewers where i felt they gave the plant the best support. then i gently pushed the barrets so that all of the pressure is on the stick and makes like a triangle around the stem supporting it without pinching it at all, and allows the stem play so that it can still gain strength. I hope this works until they get a bit bigger, because they were getting battered pretty good with that intake A.C. blowing in on them. and i needed the intake to blow across the lights to maintain 78.......:blsmoke:

honesty man you realy not need those toothpicks next to ur plant giving them support... they are going to be growing so fast , i myself would not bother you want that stack to grow as much as possiable.... that clip is not squeezing that plant is it thats my biggest worry

but other than that man they look great keep it up

Yep hes right... i would also suggest that you transplant into not to big of pots as well .. you wana keep your roots maxed out in our pot, (that does not sound right but, but i dont know any other way to say it am high) what that means is by doing this your top growth will increase alot faster due to the fact that you dont have to wait for your roots to catchup with you top growth. understand?? like me, most people only transplant 2-3 times before going to flowering, but i transplanted 5 times and iv heard people doing up up 2 6 but never heard more than that but you can.

peace

Ok hazy good point on the sticks,,lol maybe i'm getting a bit too NOOB creative....hahaha. anyway I agree with you on transplanting. I was just way misinformed online because i red a number of information saying transplant as few times as possible to avoid transplant shock(like 2 max) on some threads. so what i will do today is pick up some 6 inch pots and get the bigger guys iin them. as far as the skewer sticks go, i will remove them, but i am paranoid about how much the ladies get moved around by the intake Air moving past them. Note: the barret does not apply pressure to the stems at all. Ok well good looking out guys, i am heading to my hydro store for some things I need.ttyl

Transplant won't shock the plants if you're careful when you do it. People think the plant is in shock because energy will be diverted to root development to fill the new pot and growth will slow for a couple days. Don't worry about it.
