I'm pretty sure this is too many plants for my little fish tank. I really wanted to keep them in the same container for the whole time. I was thinking that I would sort of do a combination of SOG and LST. This is only there second week and I was thinking that I'll probably cut the light to 12/12 sometime within the next two weeks.

What sugestions would ya'all have to make "RoboGro 2" be more sucessful? :pimp:

The first picture is an overall view of the tank. The second pic is of the "Baby Girl" she's been looking exactly the same for the last two weeks. Once the other ones got so much bigger, one of them was almost covering her so I moved her to a corner with more space. What could be the matter with her? She's giving it a real effort so I'd really like to help her make it, ya know?

Yeah thats way to many plants in the aquarium in my opinion, but if you cut to 12/12 soon they should do good. I dont know whats wrong with the little seedling but looks like it wont make it, Try seperating it from the others and putting it in a window sill to help heal it.

1 square foot per plant is a standard of SOG set up. What strain are you growing?

I'm not sure of the strain, I just used some seeds that me or friends of mine saved over time from weed that we thought was good.

I trimmed some of the larger bottom leaves of the five larger plants lastnight. Once they have a few days to recover from that, I may pinch the tops off of two or three of those five give them another week to recover and then set the light to 12/12.

I'd really like to find a better light for the flowering stage though. I may have to order one off of the net because I sure can't find them around here, middle of nowhere :)

Here's what they look like after their trimming. "Willowmina" the one in the center on the left REALLY looked good under the Microscope. I'm excited :)

Well, I read on another thread that it was likely to happen and it did! The fish tank broke while I was putting it back under the light after watering them. It was the same night I was going to start 12/12 too :(

Since I was in a hurry and didn't have much money I had to borrow one of harddon's ideas. Can you tell which one? :)

How long should I give them to recover from replanting before I switch to 12/12?
