hey thanks man but yea when i started i was in a great position budget wise. now not so well since i got layed off. to top that of i got 3 tickets due by june. At the moment im trying to go as low as possible budget wise. As for my setup i pretty much have everything set right. The first column of leaves have sprouted. Im headed for an LST grow but the stem seems weak for me to bend. As for the carbon filter i need one soon and have no clue which one is recommended for my budget that will actually work. A few mins ago u fixed the grow box piling books under the tray in which the pots are placed. as for the pot size, they are still in their original pot. should i transplant now? or wait for the stem to harden a bit?
