Half of my plants were put right from their sprouted seed into the pot they will finish in so thankfully I wont have to transplant those. Pictures to follow
I wanted to give you an idea to mull over. With limited space, I can give you a few more inches by simply trading in your 5 gallon buckets for a lower cut plastic storage bin. I've seen a grower (pics on here under 3lbs per light) put his plants a few inches apart in a 'sea of soil' that is roughly 4.5 to 5" deep. His plants have all very healthily intermingled roots, and the yields speak for themselves.

That being said, since you haven't started topping yet, it's not too late to scrog - Basically setup a net or fence type system and start running your stems through it, branching them out, you can top before this if you like, but since your low on space, I'd just suggest bushing them out now, and start flowering. Since you haven't transplanted yet, it would also be a great time to check out the soil tip!

Are you planning to switch to a HP bulb for flowering?

Lets get those pics up - I just started my first grow log on here, feel free to check that out as well, my setup isn't currently using the shared rooting system, but it will by the time my seedlings start to veg (as well as scrog/topping/fim/bending)
low_rdr Reviewed by low_rdr on . Typical time from seed unitl flowering?? It seems like a lot of people on here are growing with clones. I've heard growing from seed is a pain but it was the only available option I had at this time. My question is what is the typical time it takes to grow from a seed before you start flowering? My plants are about 6 weeks old and most are a foot tall and I will be transplanting the last few into larger containers soon. They all look pretty healthy and green. I do have 2 clones which are much taller but leaves are smaller and less Rating: 5
