I left these in the small pots for too long and it really stunted their growth, that's why they haven't made much progress in the last week. I've repotted them into a big cardboard box which I've strengthened with duct tape. They should really take off now that the roots have got lots of room. Small pots really fuck plants up.
I bought all the materials for my new grow room yesterday, can't wait to start building it. The flowering chamber will be 3 feet wide, 2 feet deep and 5 feet high; the mother/clone chamber will be the same dimensions except it will only be 3 feet tall. I'm building it from thin wooden batons and I will nail hardboard to it to make the walls. I'll post pics when it's finished.

Howdy GTC,

The plants look really good,nice and short,between the nodes,but I'm concerned that you have them in a large box..is there some means for water to drain ? Every so often,one needs to be able to flush out the medium and I don't see how ya can,the medium,needs to be wet from top to bottom,to encourage a down-ward growth of the roots,when ya water,and that water needs to drain somewhere.

Other than that,I'm just plain jealous..lol..you got some mighty purty gals there!

Keep up the good work !

Have a good one...:D

dylan- The leaves that were purple went yellow and died because I left the plants in small pots for too long, they got root-bound (or pot-bound, however you say it).

Torog- I've modified the box a little more for drainage; I stabbed some holes in the bottom and put some plastic sheet underneath for any water to drip onto. I gave them a good watering tonight, the soil at the bottom was wet but not dripping so I watered just right.
