Just curious if I should repot this lady! Shes getting pretty huge as you can see! Its in 1.5 gallon or so square bucket right now. I have it tied down pretty decent...still around 3ft. Had to veg about 3 weeks longer than I wanted to due to a faulty HPS. This plant has been on 12/12 for 11 days now with a 250w. Started out using miracle grow moisture control and Ive been adding small amounts of schultz bloom plus. Seems to be doing great! Pistils are really starting to pop out. These pics are from a camera phone but I will try to get ahold of a digicam real soon. Any input/questions/comments will be greatly appreciated.

Looks great man, but I'm not sure about transplanting during flowering. One trick you can use is simply put dirt in another larger bucket and set that one down in it and cut out the bottom. Shouldn't stress it at all plus give it a little more root room if it needs it. I too am barely into flowering my first go around :) Started nov 11th, yours is definitely taller than mine are, but we kept them really short with LST'ing. Beautiful plant, should be budding up righteously in a couple weeks :D

Hey thanks Splifted that is good to know, I might try that. There is about 6-7 feet up to the ceiling so Im hoping that will be enough space until harvest. =)
I have a 6 socket vanity light I could use for some side lighting but have to work on some better ventilation as some of the leaves are curling. Just a quick question... When its around harvest time (since I used miracle grow) when should I start flushing? Im a little worried about having a fertilizer taste. Thanks fellas

Make sure you use CFLs and not incandescents

how long did u veg that beast for o.o?
u should def do what splif recommended, or just transplant it all together.
i used a 3 gallon pot and my plant was no where near that big during veg and still rooted the whole pot man.
BIGGER POT = BIGGER PLANT = MORE BUDS xD

Hey thanks for the info guys. Yeah Stylus I vegged for about 2 months..LoL! I just did a full transplant into a 5 gallon pot. Just read some other posts about transplanting during flowering. Really hoping it doesnt go hermie on me! I made sure the soil was moist and that I didn't upset any roots. It came out pretty frickin solid! :) Anything else I should be concerned about? yeah ima try to get some pics up real soon. Thanks
