Looking For Advice on Grow

[mrlovemaker]

Fairly new to growing. My baby is 3 weeks old (bag seed), sitting in a 1 gallon plastic container atm. Lights are: 2x 40w and 3x 13w cfl bulbs.

My questions are: should I re-pot my plant? Do I risk killing it if I do? When should I start "topping"? I'd appreciate any help, even if they're tips on different things! Thanks.

Can't believe I didn't think about that. Perhaps it will show me how to germinate a seed, or recommend a grow tent?

Thank you for your valuable input.

You need a lot more light then what you have.

well you have a plant and a tent so it seems you got that covered. The advice given above is good advice. When i first joined this forum i was told pretty much the same as you and i felt a little offended by it just as you appear to be with the sarcasm in your comment but it was the best advice i was given. I myself have been read through most of the tutorial on this site but i still read it probably a couple of times a week. The answers to your questions are there.
Judging by the fact that you have what appears to be cocktail sticks holding your plant upright at the base i would say your plants stretched a bit so need more light. Yes you should re-pot at some point unless you want it to stay small, and no it won't kill your plant if you do it right. As for topping i think most do that when plant gets 5-6 nodes.
The only other advice i would give is leave out any sarcasm or attitude out of your comments it doesn't sit well here and will only hinder any help people may be willing to give.

A good T5 fluorescent panel is a good investment starting out to keep costs down. Plus, once you can afford better you will always have a use for the T5 in starting seeds or rooting clones or keeping a few mother plants.
