First REAL grow, cfl's start to finish, bagseed

[daihashi]

Ok, so heres some pics of the damage. Should I remove the damaged foliage or just let it fall off? It looks like they should recover, I really hate myself for burning them. It suprised me how fast it actually happened. I checked em before I went to work, then when I came home...burnt...
Oh well, we'll see how fast they recover.
When do you know its time to transplant?

I've read that you should cut them off as they are just wasting the plants energy, but I am no expert. I had some leaves that were extremely burned on my first set of plants (which failed miserably), I cut off the first set of yellow leaves and it started sprouting new leaves like a day after, about 4 new leaves.

That's my expierence which is very limited; next to none. Hopefully someone awesome will come in and give you a definite answer. Just thought I'd give you some input.

Ever since FIMing the growth has stunted, im not sure weather its rootbound or its the stress of the cut.

You just cropped the tops, so just give 'em a few days to adjust.
I usually FIM the plants at 5th-6th node if not higher.

Where did you buy for plant killer at?

Its my first go at this too, and I didnt realize how fast underwatering+heat can kill. I was just being facetious.

These guys are saying: Right now please.

Thanks for the translation, lol. Within a couple days I plan on moving them into some pots that are about 2.5x the size, veg for about a week maybe, then flower. Males will die, females into 4 gallon buckets. Thats the plan atleast.

Santa, the girls will love the 4 gallon buckets that will be plenty of room to move around and spread their roots out.

Just a random thought, but have you considered bud enhancers. It is from my own personal experience that the girls get really hunger, and really thirsty around week two of actual flower. I would suggest getting your ducks in a row if you will, regarding what nutes you will use, and such.

one more question Santa, are you PH'ing your water?

Looking good Santa, they will love the new pots. give them a few days then growth will take off.

BTW. Merry Christmas !!

First day of flowering, I know ive been neglecting my grow a bit so therefore neglecting my grow log. Im glad its a new year and the holidays are over, time for a fresh'n. Smoked a bowl and heres a few pics. They are now in bigger pots, a couple have some cheap ass soil which sucks, but seems to be working ok. I kinda had to repot in phases due to money issues and having no soil, that explains the abnormally large plant, even though one of the others has surpassed in height but not bushyness. And for the record no, I do not PH my water, I know this in itself if a huge down fall, but I wanna see how many corners I can cut. Im also using some decent MG ferts the basics, half strength. No signs of it doing anything except good. Question, when the preflowers start to show, will they show closer to the top of the plant before the bottom, or visa versa due to the bottom actually being older? Heres a couple pics, hopefully the big one turns out to be female, its been the best taken care of, im hoping for atleast 3 outta 6 to be female.

w00t, 2 confirmed females and 1 confirmed male, so far. Im starting to see how the ones with more vigirous growth in the begining are turning out to be male. Anyone care to reanalyze?
