so i dont exactly know what i have, i started it out from a clone. just recently the leaves around the bottom of the plant started to wilt, i dont know if i should worry bout it or not since the rest of the plant looks ok. i am not using any artificial light only sun, have it on a weak nutes mix of 18/18/21, and she is about 3 months old now. please if anyone has any comments or any advice, would be much appreciated, thanks
looks like overwatering or rootbound
thanks for the relpy how much bigger of a pot should i go to help any root problem?
agreed a bigger pot is needed, kinda hard to tell how big the pot is now but i would say a 5 gallon pot would work.
how tall is the the plant and what size pot is it in now? You basically have 2 options, either put it in a pot twice as big as now or leave it in its current pot and cut off the bottom branches. This will slow down the root growth and instead focus it on the top of the plant.
I have a 5wk old clone that I just put into flower last week that is in a clear 16oz cup. Its about 2 ft tall. I've been cutting off most of the bottom branches so i grow i big ass cola :-D Its amazing that its been so healthy all this time in such a small container. I see a lot of roots, but its not root bound yet.
Medicine, the plant is now 28in tall and the pot is 9.5in diameter x 7.5in tall, i dont know how many oz. are there any disadvantages to cutting the bottom leaves? and what do i do if it is already root bound?
can you let me know if these roots look alright it doesnt look like there is any root binding happening. thanks
ok the 2nd picture definitely shows that your plant is starting to get rootbound. Its not exactly panic time, but if you're watering until its flow out of the bottom of the pot, you're most likely drowning the roots at the bottom. Water less, but more frequently until you transplant. You'll need to do it within the next week or 2 for sure. I think your problem right now is a combination of rootbound and overwatering. The measurements of your current pot sounds like its around 2-3 gallons. Move up to a 5 gallon pot because you're going to need the extra room when flowering.
thanks for the heads up medicine, will transplant this week. i really dont think i am overwatering tho, but maybe too much nutes, i have been watering with a solution of about 3ml of 18/18/21 per liter of water, should i only be giving nutes like once a week or is that ok with every watering?
