That should do for now. In the end you will need 15L to 20L pots to finish in, depending on veg time. But it's good to transplant several times, so no need for those large containers yet.

25 degrees is pretty cold, iv heard at least 40-50 degrees. i hope your heater gets the temps up again. And Fin's right on, as i re pot all the time, before the go into the ground:rasta:

That honestly looks like over watering to me. I just survived something similar, or so it looks. My leaves still seem droopy at times. There is NO WAY mine are root bound yet, or I should be able to see roots on the side of the container. (My plant is 14 inches tall, and in a 4L ice cream pail. Uses 1 cup of water ever 3 days, and the room stay between 23-28 degrees. (That is in celcius which is what I assume you were using too?))

:wtf:Maybe I might be wrong

You need 50 posts (I think... or 25, don't remember) before you can upload pics. Until then, use something like photobucket.com to upload your pics to. Then copy the 'direct link' from the pic and paste it into the 'insert link' prompt (this is at the top of the reply box- click the picture of the globe with paperclip) :thumbsup:

weed pictures by wildy7979 - Photobucket (http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/yy355/wildy7979/weed/)I guess Earth Juice Bloom is pretty good. You won't need much of anything if you keep em in enough soil.

Looking beautiful, they are growing like mad.:cool:
