Had a Few Questions
1)I am 10 days into Flower. I was home late i normally turn the lights off at 9 but didn't make it till 10:30. Will this mess things up or should i just make sure its gets more dark tonight and less light tomorrow and reset at 9 and get back going correct.
2)Should i trim some of these fan leafs off. I get decent penetration. But i would like to get more light in the middle.

Was Hopeing to get an Answer tonite. If not im just going to give them the extra hour of darkness. Hope this is the right thing to do
no problems....just dont make a habbit of it:thumbsup:
I have left my plants in the dark for a couple of days then went right back to 12/12......no issues
your only 10 days in.....meaning you have been 12/12 for 10 days right ...your still in the 10-14 day tranferance period....dont trim our leaves just yet
I hope I'm not too late with the answers..Quote:

2) Keep the fan leaves for now, if you trim them at this stage of flower you will just stress your plant for no reason. Some people trim fan leaves when buds start to ripen and need a lot of light to expose them to it, I prefer to leave the fan leaves till harvest because I believe that trimming fan leaves will reduce photosynthesis which will cause less bud growth and a smaller yield, but that's just my opinion.
More lights at this stage should not be too much of a trouble, like VapedG13 said don't make it an habit. Just be sure NOT TO interrupt the dark period !!! Check the plants daily for balls or banana shaped grow, never too sure !
thanks for all your guy's help. i will leave the fan leaves on. Ill just pull down a little to expose more light from the top to the middle. Thx again for the advice.
I do have 1 other problem. looks like on some of my leaves they are gettin small brown spots . here is a pic

Totally pot-bound. Go up to a 5 gallon pail or equivalent, with lots of drain holes.
Look under the seat of your car for the change that the Jiffy Lube Monkeys didn't steal yet and buy yourself a freaking timer, yo. You're gonna get hermies to save like six bucks...
K i found a Big ass Pot out in the Garage. It has to be 5x's Bigger than the one i got. Will this be too big. The only soil that i have is the stuff i plated it with. With is already Pre Nuted. 21-10-7 i think. Or close to that i belive. I am gonna buy some 0-10-10 Flower nutes Soon. Should i use that Soil or just try to purchse sum NON Nutted Soil? I kinda had a good idea it was gettin pot bound. it really is to small of a Pot. Thanks for all the Help hope to hear back soon

Okay i see the roots trying to come out of the holes on the Bottom. I really would well "Need" to know if its going to be okay to the soil i got or what. The plant will not become undroppy. Makin my spirit Droopy. But never fail. Sorry to bump thread but its important thx guys
-Swisha
BTW the soil is 22-7-14
Plus im Buy 0-10-10 Bloom fert.
Thx again
Soil has too much N in it to go into flower. You will get harsh leafy bud and lose yield.
Get an unfertilized one.
The leaves may not uncurl, but you will see new growth look good after a transplant.
Okay i Got
1)a Big Pot
2)unfertilized soil
I need to know i have lst'd the plant when i transplant and cut all the strings will the plant stay like this or can i just re tie them down?
Also im gonna transplant by turning the pot upside down holding the stlk between my middle and index finger. Remove the pot. Situate and fill the next(bigger) Pot.
How much to water after? A bugger dosing them normal or just 2 liters of water.
-Swisha
Also what one of theese would be better for me to use. As both are decently priced.
LILLY MILLER 09301300 "LILLY MILLER" ALASKA MORBLOOM FERTILIZER 1 QT.
GREEN LIGHT 97001 GREENLIGHT SUPER BLOOM FERTILIZER 1 LB
A plant that has been LSTd and become woody on those stems will just stay like that, but you can still re-tie it.
Don't water too heavily on the first watering- just enough to settle the soil around the root ball.
I don't know either of those nutes. Are they made for cannabis specifically?
I dont know about the Nutes. I just Looked up Fox Farm Products. Went to a web page and there was these items. I did not know there was fertilizer specifically designed for Marijuana. There is a hydro shop 30 miles from my town. I guess if there are not correct i can purchase sum nutes there. Or i can order Fox farm Tiger Bloom Online. Thats about all the money i have to spend.
Thx for your help Stinky Really makin my days easier knowing i have correct advice =D

Okay!
Started off the day not high. :mad::mad::mad:
Thought to myself "i have to transplant today". I thought this will be ez and all ill have to do is turn the pot upside down and transplant and fill with dirt. The roots were bound. First time growing weed and i think the word "pot-bound" explains itself. The surgery went well. I water lightly. Now is seeing theeze Yellow leafs in pic 3 normal. Because the bottom always gets yellow but the canopy thrives with nothing but nice green. Plus i got dirt on the tricoms will this hurt it at all. Anyways Thanks for anyhelp i get

Interesting - Stinky, why do you advise against watering heavily when re-potting? I have always been in the habit of placing each plant in the bathtub after potting it and giving it a nice initial flood to help settle the soil. I also hold off on watering before repotting until the soil is bone dry to make it easier to remove from the old pot. I think I picked the ritual up from my mom who always did this when she repotted a houseplant. Is this a bad idea?Quote:

-Swisha
I also wait to bone dry to re-pot.
The reason I don't totally drench the soil is that the roots haven't really had a chance to spread out, so the wet soil just SITS there wet until it dries out on its own with no help from sucking roots, and that's not ideal. Instead I jiggle the pot and water lightly, just enough to settle the fresh soil, but not enough to waterlog it.
Thanks =D
Well she looks really good. I was expecting alot of drooping or "shitty" looking leafs. But instead she looks like she enjoys the bigger pot. Here is sum pics of here. thanks again for all your help stinky and all the other who posted. You guys make life alot easier. Once i become alot more knowledgeable i will definitely return the favor to other newbs.
