today is 6 weeks of my grow. i feel like ive done well with my ladies BUT now over the last say 10 days i think ive notice a slow down in their growth. the only person whos seen my grow keeps on raving how fast their doing but i recall the 2nd - 5th week where the rate was incredible. i started inna ebb and flow tray in 5" nets using drip feed i feed every 3 hrs for 15 minutes using DNF at 2000PPM i also use some nutriboost and peroxide the cycle is set at 16/8/ (see pic)
when i did my 1st transplant i made the mistake of using 2 gal buckets i knew they were too small when i pulled the rootballs and saw just how they were overgrowing the tray. on a few of em (i had 8 plants still do havent lost one) some were so big at 3 weeks they were already taking up a whole level in the 2 gal bucket (looking like a root sandwich -ie layer of hydroton on the bottom of the bucket layer of solid root mass and then the hydroton entwined in the top layer of hydroton) but i felt like a iad to proceed as my choices were limited at the time.
in short i think im root bound so now just 2weeks short of flowering ive got the buckets (5 gal ) ready now and i think all i need is some moral support befor i do i
im gonna use my bath tub to do it having it filled with a weak nuet solution and strong nutriboost for shock (i didnt have any last time but i dont want to take any chances now. ive been holding off on feeding for this. i plan to submerge my 2 gal buckets float some hydroton out then ease the root out putting it in the new bucket.
im really worried about this if theres ANYTHING you could pass on to help me i NEED you now as this is gonna happen today unless theres any advice to the contrary.
O merciful HYDRO GODS i beseach they wisdom and in my hour of peril i pray ...SAVE me...
