Good to start flower?

You can flower whenever you want. Plants get 2/3 x times bigger during flower, depends on the strain.

What size conatiners are those?

 

I water my 5 gal pots in the shower and back to tent after drain. Maybe not feasible but def figure out something to allow good runoff.
On flip, I'd give em couple weeks if possible. The little ones will be busy rooting after transplant; with a 1k light you have a lot of opportunity to maximize yield. Longer veg bigger yields

 

I wish I'd come up with a better method but the shower four feet away helps! Good luck

 

Put a baking rack under them so you can syphon off the runoff at watering times with a turkey baster or something. Better than nothing.

Just use one of these. It comes in different sizes. I put it on top of an inclined pedestal and the run off runs down to a drain with a bucket underneath.

 

Great idea are those in garden sections at big box stores? So a bit of an incline with a hole and drain bucket underneath?

 

I bought mine at the local hydro shop - I have never seen them at the box stores - made by botanicare. There is already a hole in it - I put on a drain plug on it so I could attach a 1/2" hose if I needed to. I made the frame out of pvc and put a piece of plywood over it for stability.
