Please come along BBB -- the more the merrier -- I put the seeds in water on the 6th -- they are already sprouting. First time I've had this kind of success with seeds.
Thanks so much lordhighlama -- I guess this will be the cheese journal after all -- I have a little stretch going on, and a "triploid" and I have put them under 450w of MH, and they are growing nicely. I will post a pic of what I have so far. I moved the stretching plants from the middle to the outside:
Hi Hemperfi how far/close is your mh light as id imagine you cannot get something of that wattage close unless ya running aircooled hoods etc.
I personally wouldnt throw the seedlings under such a powerful light for at least 7-10 days after they have hardened/matured some with a little air movement and if you did this with a cloning light you can more or less have the light touching the seedlings so reducing any stretch.
Just my tuppence.

those look great hemper... that stretching doesn't look bad at all. I like to plant my seeds in solo cups with a little less than 3/4 full of soil so that way if and when they do that initial stretch I can just bury it with the room I left myself.
I did put a little more soil in a couple of the cups great idea -- those are the kind of things that make a grower a grower. thanks. I'll be a grower one day
Absolutely text book plants hemperfi when ya repot them cover stem to just below lowest side branches and top them over and over as many times as ya can to open up the canopy and increase harvest.
As a footnote any males will show themselves as the biggest/tallest/bushiest fastest growing plants.
This is FACT.

Thanks so much dman -- they are looking fine so far...
T4, I am going to let them steep in their new pots for a few days, and then I'm going to fem them -- try anyway -- if they don't fem they will be topped, and I will top again and again. I kind of figured the best looking plants would be male -- works that way with ducks as well
Looks good. I noticed those grass basket type pots on the right side, I love those things. No muss or fuss just drop them in to bigger pot to transplant, who could ask for easier?
