Is it a good idea to repot it now since it has been repotted two days ago, in other words are the benefits of repotting it in a more airy soil mix be worth the stress the plant gets from being repotted that much? should i wait a few days before repotting AGAIN?

the text might be rather long but an answer wouldn't require u to write a book at all just scan the text a little. The reason it's so long is becuz i tried to describe the condition of the plant as accurately as I could (no camera) i will post pics asap, thnx for the aid

1. the plants generally don't mind being moved around, but, if you mean, from outside to inside, etc.., not a good idea, you're very likely going to bring insects inside with them ...

2. hps can be used to complement sunshine, yes, although any direct sun is going to be more than enough, by itself ... depends on your local hours of sunlight (high-pressure lamps are sometimes combined with greenhouses, where legal) ... if you mean, 'just sticking the plant next to a window', you're very likely to get a lot of stretch, in your plant ...

3. unless your present soil is pretty poor, I would wait a few days, before transplanting again ... let the plant recover from any stress it sustained ... let the roots get going good, again, and transplant into well-draining soil (I like to use about 25%-30% perlite) ...

hope that helps a little, I'll try to check in again ... I'm presently located in the boonies, with very poor internet access ...

Good Luck ! :thumbsup:

thnx a bunch for the answers i rlly appreciate it, yeh the plant does seem to get alot of stretch but it seems i'm able to counter that by rotating, i got some perlite and hydro thingies (dont know what they're called) and ph test kit. made my mix and transplanted the plant to a 15L container. seemed my tapwater is a bit high (almost 8) but the soil is pretty low on ph they should balance each other out until I get pH down

plant is coming along nicely but the first 2 leaves it sprouted (not the starter leaves but the first "real MJ leaves") just stopped growing, still looking healthy and green but they're not growing, the second set of leaves is already alot bigger, the first set of leaves only got one "finger" while the scond set (even the baby leaves) have 3 fingers plant looks pretty healthy to me though unless somebody tells me otherwise...
