Hey,

I would of posted this in my grow log, but I am waiting to get batteries to take pictures for that.

Anyway, My plants are about 12 days old. I have 3 that came up BEAUTIFULLY, in syrofoam cups. I transplanted 2 of them to bigger pots yesterday and plan to move the other into a bigger pot soon also.

Oh ya, these are xxxxtra skunk feminised seeds

I have a 40watt flouresant tube on them 24/0 since they were started. They are on there 3rd node (3rds just starting though).

I have a brand new sun system 1000 watt hps, and Im wondering when you would reccomend switching to the hps. I have plenty room, so I can have the light as far and close above plants as they need.

I plan on starting my nutes (FOX FARM) sometime next week. Im going for the biggest growth possible, when should I start my HPS?

I'd say wait til they are about 3 weeks old and no longer a seedling. Then pop that bitch on and watch them explode. 3 weeks - month. I like to veg a little while under fluoros to keep them really short and dense, like 6" tall with 6-7 nodes.

Thanks dude.

I am going to repot the last one in the styrofoam, and then switch to my HPS next week then (which will be 3 weeks exactly).

Ill get pictures up in my log and a link to my log in my sig. Please check it out and let me know what you think.
