Had a Few Questions

1)I am 10 days into Flower. I was home late i normally turn the lights off at 9 but didn't make it till 10:30. Will this mess things up or should i just make sure its gets more dark tonight and less light tomorrow and reset at 9 and get back going correct.

2)Should i trim some of these fan leafs off. I get decent penetration. But i would like to get more light in the middle.

I hope I'm not too late with the answers..

1) Don't mess with different light cycles, just keep on with 12/12. It will get much more stressed if you start playing with light cycles.

2) Keep the fan leaves for now, if you trim them at this stage of flower you will just stress your plant for no reason. Some people trim fan leaves when buds start to ripen and need a lot of light to expose them to it, I prefer to leave the fan leaves till harvest because I believe that trimming fan leaves will reduce photosynthesis which will cause less bud growth and a smaller yield, but that's just my opinion.

More lights at this stage should not be too much of a trouble, like VapedG13 said don't make it an habit. Just be sure NOT TO interrupt the dark period !!! Check the plants daily for balls or banana shaped grow, never too sure !

Totally pot-bound. Go up to a 5 gallon pail or equivalent, with lots of drain holes.

Look under the seat of your car for the change that the Jiffy Lube Monkeys didn't steal yet and buy yourself a freaking timer, yo. You're gonna get hermies to save like six bucks...

K i found a Big ass Pot out in the Garage. It has to be 5x's Bigger than the one i got. Will this be too big. The only soil that i have is the stuff i plated it with. With is already Pre Nuted. 21-10-7 i think. Or close to that i belive. I am gonna buy some 0-10-10 Flower nutes Soon. Should i use that Soil or just try to purchse sum NON Nutted Soil? I kinda had a good idea it was gettin pot bound. it really is to small of a Pot. Thanks for all the Help hope to hear back soon

Soil has too much N in it to go into flower. You will get harsh leafy bud and lose yield.
Get an unfertilized one.
The leaves may not uncurl, but you will see new growth look good after a transplant.

Okay i Got
1)a Big Pot
2)unfertilized soil

I need to know i have lst'd the plant when i transplant and cut all the strings will the plant stay like this or can i just re tie them down?
Also im gonna transplant by turning the pot upside down holding the stlk between my middle and index finger. Remove the pot. Situate and fill the next(bigger) Pot.

How much to water after? A bugger dosing them normal or just 2 liters of water.

I dont know about the Nutes. I just Looked up Fox Farm Products. Went to a web page and there was these items. I did not know there was fertilizer specifically designed for Marijuana. There is a hydro shop 30 miles from my town. I guess if there are not correct i can purchase sum nutes there. Or i can order Fox farm Tiger Bloom Online. Thats about all the money i have to spend.
Thx for your help Stinky Really makin my days easier knowing i have correct advice =D

Okay!
Started off the day not high. :mad::mad::mad:
Thought to myself "i have to transplant today". I thought this will be ez and all ill have to do is turn the pot upside down and transplant and fill with dirt. The roots were bound. First time growing weed and i think the word "pot-bound" explains itself. The surgery went well. I water lightly. Now is seeing theeze Yellow leafs in pic 3 normal. Because the bottom always gets yellow but the canopy thrives with nothing but nice green. Plus i got dirt on the tricoms will this hurt it at all. Anyways Thanks for anyhelp i get

A plant that has been LSTd and become woody on those stems will just stay like that, but you can still re-tie it.
Don't water too heavily on the first watering- just enough to settle the soil around the root ball.
I don't know either of those nutes. Are they made for cannabis specifically?

Interesting - Stinky, why do you advise against watering heavily when re-potting? I have always been in the habit of placing each plant in the bathtub after potting it and giving it a nice initial flood to help settle the soil. I also hold off on watering before repotting until the soil is bone dry to make it easier to remove from the old pot. I think I picked the ritual up from my mom who always did this when she repotted a houseplant. Is this a bad idea?

Yo, thats what i did. It was mad Bone Dry. But i think when i put the soil in the pot i packed it in so tight. Normally i was watering 2 Liters everyday 2-3 days i only water 1L after todays transplant. Some water came as runoff.

I also wait to bone dry to re-pot.
The reason I don't totally drench the soil is that the roots haven't really had a chance to spread out, so the wet soil just SITS there wet until it dries out on its own with no help from sucking roots, and that's not ideal. Instead I jiggle the pot and water lightly, just enough to settle the fresh soil, but not enough to waterlog it.
