thanks for the info stinkyattic. All my seeds are feminized though. i was going to use clones, but my mom and clones caught a bad case of the mites. The nmoms should be healthy and spider mite free soon enough, but i killed the clones. i realize that some seedlings are gonna grow faster than others so i just plan on raising the containers of the slower growing ones with whatever i can find. how long do you think i should veg them for though since they are only in 1 gallon pots. this is my first sog and i just don't want them to completely outgrow the containers half way into flowering.
