and i dont mean in my hair :) I re-potted the blighter last week, and this morning I noticed, big thick roots like spaghetti, poking out. Have to do re-pot again now, and disturb it again. Im so annoyed at myself.
There, all vented now.

Hello Rastagal :) When That happens I just usually throw a few handfulls of compost on top to cover them back up :o but I'm a bit lazy ;)

With the looks of how it's growing I think that you will need a larger pot. When you re-pot, just try not to do it in a brightly lit area...........roots don't like being exposed to light very much ;)
Also what I read when I started growing was that the deeper pot pot is the better, it's more important than the width of the pot.
I have no idea about what size pot in gallons capacity and all that, I wouldn't have a clue how big a gallon is :o
I always pick a size that looks "comfortable", oh and cheap to buy ;)


love mand xxx :)

Hey mand working in retail as a kid helped me out if you want to estimate gallons , the average "trashcan" for a computer (or bathroom) is about 3-4 gallons. I've only see a few on average that are bigger so you can eyeball it with that if ya want :). Gee wonder what I use for pots ;) he he he.

Mand makes the best point though , deeper is better! (and not just in growing! , sorry bad joke....)

afew roots are exposed on my plants at the moment i use to cover them up with abit of soil but after afew waterings the roots would be exposed again so ive just givin up trying to cover them back up after about a week the roots thicken and harden up and just look like the bottom of the stem...

[syrrus]

It's all good man, just cover em up with a little soil. and kiss 'em g'night

re-potted this morning, thankfully B&Q opens at 7 am :) I got there for 8.30 :)
I again, tore some roots, but people told me last time, the plant will heal so Im not too worried. Plant is getting what looks to me like pre-flowers.

My outdoor plants had some fat roots at the top of the soil...big deal.

You Should water more, and not as often!

When you water, you usualy don't water to much, and the lower roots also need water, so they start growing upwards to where the water is!

Just water once every day, or every second, more water so it goes all the way down in the soil..!:)

Good luck!:D
