no, the bottom of the new pot had about 2 inches of hydrotone topped with 1 1/2 inches of new soil. and also about 1 1/2 inches of new soil from each side.Quote:

I have a Vanilla Kush on day 60 that's turned nearly purple, with some really ugly leaves on the underside that have gone brown due to the lack of N. I also start giving nothing but water at the start of week 7. For a sativa dominant, my Super Lemon Haze is finishing week 8 and has started losing color in the fan leaves as well where a typical fade to yellow has started. This one will be flushed for weeks 9/10 and it will be extremely ugly at the end..
Monkey Man, - I also remember sweating this stuff when I was getting started too.. I personally think you got some solid advice on this thread and as you gain patience in growing, your're going to do fine. Keep it simple.. BTW - that was some great looking bud on the plant!
Peace, Farmer Rich
Root damage should be kept to a minimum if possible, but as long as it's a small percentage of damage all should be fine.
It might be that at some point down the line they (the plants) will want you to resume a 'normal' nutrient regimine, but i'd stick with molasses only till they've recovered from the transplant shock and previous 'issues'.
What specific soil did you transplant into? Might be enough organics in the fresh soil to take you through to the end with minimal addition of flowering nutrients. Might be you need to add more. Time will tell.
Keep in mind that any stress to the plant can and usually will delay final harvest date. So don't go freaking-out that they're taking longer than the advertisements say...
Are you referring to a b vitamin product for root growth? If so...perhaps you should read this:

No, I don't recommend root accelerators, and rooting hormone doesn't help to form roots on roots. (in case you were wondering...)
No additional additives till they recover. They'll find the good soil without chemical assistance.
Keep ph steady, don't overwater, let 'em heal...and be patient.
im using a proffessional soil mix without additive nutrients (light mix)Quote:

I'm pretty sure you're putting the cart before the horse, (patience) but you should resume your bloom nutrients when the plants start showing signs of improvement. I use molasses from like the 3rd or 4th week of flowering, till harvest. If you use molasses though, find and remove from use, the Bio product it replaces. Will say something regarding calcium, magnesium and/or iorn. It might be one of the carbo-load products, as often they are nothing more than diluted or synthetic molasses, IMHO. Anyway...the carbs in the molasses are great building-blocks for the recovering plant.
Again...why do you want to add more chemicals, when chemicals helped get you here? Did you read the link? Most root accelerators are a thiamine (vitamin b1) product, which is what the link was all about. (well...them, and Superthrive) The roots know what they have to do, likely it's best to let 'em do it without further assault. Not sure I covered this earlier, but force-feeding nutrients and additives on a sick plant is usually counter-productive unless it's to remedy a deficiency.
Arguably, the most critical phase is flowering. At the very least I'd Get a solid bloom formula.
I'm a woodcrafter, so every once in a while I make my own simple, wooden pipes. Wife likes vaping though.
i was just making sureQuote:

i lifted the lamp a bit to easy things on the plants and now i'll give them few days to recover (like it's up to me ;)).
i need some recovery as well :) but i can't recover till the harvest :( the deal with the wife was that i can grow only if i take a long break... well so far so good, 10 weeks and counting, the most is behind me now...
i used to be a smoker: bongs, joints, pipes, chillums, cigarettes - you name it. but couple of years ago i discovered the wonderful world of vaporizing and (almost) never looked back. moving from smoking whatever i could get my hands on, to vaping only quality buds was a very good move, both health-wise, and high-wise. and it also allowed me to finaly stop using cigarettes which in its turn allowed me to cut down on my amounts and frequencies until i could finaly last more than a day without getting high - and not make a fuss about it. so anyway vaporizing did me only good and now im trying to share this goodness with others. so what kind of vaporizer you wife uses? personally, only when i tried the whip style vaporizors, specifically the DBV, it really got to me and managed to satisfy me as bongs used to do. i guess if im away from home & electricity i would choose a pipe as well, though im not sure i would be able to say no to a nice clean bong :).
i'll try to give you some rest from my questions, thanks a lot anyway!
peace & health
My wife loves her Vapor Tower. But to me it's not heavy enough of a vapor to feel...satisfied. Like dinner without desert, a toothbrush without toothpaste, or a shower without masterbating. It just feels...incomplete. :jointsmile:
whatever makes you satisfied... :) (one would think that with such shower habits you'd be more picky about the quality of your tap water ;))
At least I don't re-use the runoff. :thumbsup:
:lol5: Good lord you two I was just eating a banana for lunch..
