Don't take off more than I think is said 20%-30% but I personally wouldn't take off any more than about 25%

Yeah you can probably just transplant into the 5 gallon to be safe. Pretty sure they will rootbound that 3 gallon pot rather quickly. Transplant it in about a week or so. Remember though that will stop them from growing for a couple of days so if you planned on flowering within the next 1-3 weeks, I'd probably go with 3 weeks, so that way you can give your plants some GOOD time to recover.

thanks italiano715 im going to take your advice sounds good!!! im glad you messaged me beofre i went in and chopped the rest of the 2 branches, just wasnted to say thanks again man.

Yeah man I know what you mean. I live in Vermont and all we have gotten for the past 2 days is rain and shit. And its supposed to keep up for the next few days.... Im pretty depressed about it.. Just really glad I decided to keep my babies indoors instead of goin outside with the grow. BTW what kind of lights are you using?

im using (2) sun 4 ft florescents, (1) 4ft natural daylight flourescnt, (1) 4ft cool white flourescent, (2) 2ft natural daylight flourescent and (2) 2ft plant gro flourescents, ive read to mix differnt bulbs to get a wider color spectrum of light, so far so good. i want to add another 4ft fixture but i think it might be to much heat cause right now my closet runs between 80-84 degrees with 45-55 percent humidity, so im thinking right now it might get too hot unless i add a good ventilation duct. but im going to wait prob next time around. im also glad i didnt start these outside the weather has been horrible in mass.

i cant find a clear answer on this but how will i know if my clones rooted?? they are 12 days old ive heard once the leaves start to yellow means they are rooting, is this true? how about if i take away their misted baggy, and see if they fall, would that work to tell me?

I cant be much help with the cloning seeing as I have never tried it, but I am using 4 2 ft flouros. I think totally up to 200 watts, but I also have a few cfl bulbs lying around that I can add to the cabinet.. Would you think that would help?

dude im telling you that is exactly the same way i started with 4 2ft flourescent bulbs, if you have the space to add (4) 4 ft bulbs also that would be geat, thats what i did and my results doubled, but if the space wont allow it then definatly the cfls will work, well they worked for me than i got the 4 footers. good luck man!

Thanks for the good info.. Im gonna go home and work out the stats on how much light i can actually fit into this beast.
