i just wanted to see if it works but as you can see it lends itself to failure. it was totally enclosed, no means of drainage, more or less a nitemare really.
i tore the phototron apart and put them in a tent in hopes of saving them and they are trying but 6 plants in there is asking a lot.

growrefcheck is right putting them in one pot is asking for disaster because the roots will tangle and they want have space to grow and they will take up less nutrients you probly overfed them because you were thinking of that

sigh..... you are right one pot with that many plants is a bad idea. but as i explained earlier i wanted to see if phototrons method of growing would work. it will but requires a ton and i do mean a ton of work to maintain never mind the number of plants alone. its an enclosed system, no means to drain the soil without totally dismantling the entire thing. and yes they will grow one giant tangled rootball. thats why they are still in the one pot. at this point there is no easy to separate them and put them in different pots. with as much stress as they have been thru already they would not be able to take that shock again.

well if you mean am i going to re-pot them...no that would kill them outright. i am trying to keep them alive but they have been thru an awful lot.
ill do what i can for them but other than that its up to nature at this point.

thanks, waiting on the other light i ordered to come in but the phototron lite does ok for the seedlings i have for the time being.

12/12

Hey if you get them through till the end post a picture before chopping them down look like something to see!!!!!
