    pot bound, root bound- how do u tell? All I know is my plants are growing really slow and one of them is on its first fan leaves- check out my grow- this is after 2 weeks from germ. Should I repot them now or wait til they are bigger and do they grow slower with MH?:mad:

    Depends on the pot size, but the two week period is a good time to transplant. Look at the holes at the bottom of the pot. If you can see roots, then re-pot them. A good rule of thumb is to keep them on fluoros for the first two weeks, and then switch them to an HID light. Yes, they will grow faster on a MH. Start the light high and then lower it gradually. Don't fry your plants.

    i think i have the same problem. my week old seedlings only have 2 fan leaves and are really scraggly. one cant even stand up. should i raise the light? oh yea its a ponic system. also i was wondering if i could put algea preventor for fishtanks in the buckets? it says its safe for plants and animals.
