My First Ever Grow!

Today i transplanted the girls into their new containers. moved up to a 1 GAL before the final move to the 5 GAL. I definitely waited too long cause roots had already started to grow out of the drainage holes in the solo cups! Prior to transplanting, I soaked my coco in my nutrient mix using the levels above prior to the transplant. once drainage stopped I dug out a hole big enough for the solo cup to fit into. I then cut the solo cup open with an exacto knife which may not have been the best idea since it was root bound. Really hoping I didn't do any damage there. moved them all into the new homes and then got the fans and exhaust going with the lights on an 18/6 schedule. I ended up building some wooden stands for the plants which I set on a bit of an angle. tacked the plastic trays to the stand and poked a hole into the lowest point for drainage. I was going to add a filter and PVC tubing but these saucers are pretty flimsy so I opted to wait. Going to see if I can find some sturdier options to replace the plastic trays with. Still works as is though, the trays drain into solo cups although I do get some debris with the run off. The filters should fix that. Unless there is a major growth spurt between now and the weekend, probably not going to do much else but water and then next week look into some training.
