Lights and Potting

[412grow]

4 Lowryder #2. 23 days into the process and i'm wondering what type of pots i should transfer them into when the time is right. 3 gal? 5 gal?

i have limited space as well, and i was thinking of getting a 150w MH lamp for the rest of veg and then to carry them through flowering.

Suggestions?

i think tht 3 gallon will do cos lowrider 2 is not the biggest plant with the biggest roots...

You think 3 gallon pot/bucket or whatever per plant? or could i possibly get away with two lowryders in a 4gal pot?

Just kinda checking out my options, this is the first grow so i have a lot of learning to do.

IMO You never want more than one per pot. Too many problems could rise having multiple per pot. Such as roots getting tangled and plants fighting for the nutes and so on. As for the lights, if you can only afford one i would go with the HPS instead of the MH. MH works great for veg and HPS works great for veg and flower IMO. Good luck and be sure to do alot of reading on here. There's all kinds of kick ass info out there.:thumbsup:

If your vegging for 1 month, and you started them off in a small container 3gallons would be fine.

Another 3 weeks of Veg i think, just ordered a 150watt HPS lamp, i should have around 42.9watts per square foot. plenty for the girls.

as for the transplant, a buddy of mine found a couple 2 and 3gal buckets so that should do for now.

Thanks for the help guys i'll keep yinz posted
