Yes, makes perfect sense. So they are just empty currently and you want to use it to store water. Gotcha. Thanks 
I think you only need to leave the water out for like 24 hrs for chlorine to evaporate. So I guess it’s entirely up to you

Any clean container can be used to let chlorine gas off.
Nothing wrong with the aquarium. For me a 5 gal bucket with a handle works so I can move it where I need.
The wonky leaves on your plant could be from various things. I have seen them deform because of over feeding, getting water on the tender young leaves under the lights which cooks them and deforms them.
Usually it will come out of it just fine.

Welcome to the community, it looks like folks have you covered. As others have said, be careful not over water. When you do water, put the water in a circle away from the main stem. This will encourage root growth and prevent other potential issues.

Hi @merlin44 thank you.
I’m gonna leave them for 3/7 days and check on them then water from the edges as it seems to be very dry out the outsides

Hello @Thcdom and welcome. Setup looks good so far. I would consider changing your pH meter. Those look like probe type combos and their reliability is questionable. Have a scout about on here for info on the best meter for you, a lot of us use Apera or Bluelab. I’m no expert on lighting so stick some info up about that light of yours. The guys that know about things like that will tell you what to expect from it. Other than that it’s good luck from me

@Davyg thank you. I keep them in there to check the soil moisture at the bottom of the pots. I also have an electronic ph pen and tds pen so all good there…
As for the light its a phlizon 2500 cree cob led pulls just over 620w from the wall i think. Any light advice would be great.
Thank you

Sounds like you’re on point with measurement kit. Can’t help with the light I’m afraid but there are plenty out there that can. I use QB260s from hlg and love them

Evening all. Just a quick one when would you all recommend switching to flower? They will be 4 weeks on Friday.
Hey @Thcdom, sounds like you’re doing just fine! Well done buddy!
I’m not sure about when to flip the lights exactly but I know if it’s not an auto you can basically veg it for as long as you like, I think while continuing to train it, then when you’re ready for flowering you flip it to 12/12.

Hi @CalamityJane much appreciated.
I don’t want to leave it to long in veg then overfill the tent and have fluffy buds :/.
I had the idea of 7-8 weeks veg then 7-10 weeks flower no idea if I’m miles off with that lol

When you flip is pretty much up to you. One thing you need to remember though is when you flip she will double in size 
so be mindful of the space you have. I always get this bit wrong and end up having to supercrop or top them or both 
Take a note of when she starts to flower, you can use this as a guide for when you’re nearing harvest. Your seed vendor will have an estimated flowering period, combining that with your flower date will get you in the ball park

Thanks @Davyg yeah I’m gunna let them grow a bit more first then as vendor states 8-10weeks flower lol don’t want to wait that long for poor results

Hi all would it be worth flipping the lights to flower at this stage or should I hold out longer. I’m getting impatient now but don’t want to have a poor yield
Many thanks

Thanks all
