1st grow - AK-47

[b0n3ZA]

I think i've gotten rid of the flies. I found a tiny bit of pesticide left in a jar in the garage, probably some stuff my mother uses. Mixed a teaspoon into a window cleaning spray bottle with water and sprayed the plants for a few days. I saw less and less flies each day... I think they're gone Will keep spraying for a few more days just to make sure..

Strange how they only infested the one plant and not the other?

Also... the smaller of the 2 plants seems A LOT smaller than the other. It also seams to have grown very differently. oh well.. probably because of a different root structure?

Thanks for the comment Shovelhandle Nice to know people are keeping track of my grow peace.

Plant size is dependent on pot size and the amount of room the roots have to grow.Of course this is just one factor in determining growth and size.I do a 2 and 1/2 to 3 month veg with my girls so I try to use 5 gallon pots when possible and I have been thinking about increasing pot size in the near future (well bucket size to be precise as Im gonna get wet here in a couple of months).Good luck with your grow and congrats on getting a handle on the pest problem.Take care,be well,and most of all be safe.

Wzup Brotha? Looks great! Glad to hear you got the bug situation under control, though you hopefully made sure that the pesticide was safe for "eatable plants" ? Don't want to be smoking Chemicals.

I read around, researched, and pretty much the question is. How big do you want the plant to be??
Because the bigger the pot (3,5,7gal.) and the more room the roots have to grow, the bigger, taller the plant will want to be. Put them both in 5 Gallon pots are call it good IMHO. BTW Try to find Deeper pots, and not such shallow ones.

The smaller plant might be a Female, from what I hear Males are quicker to mature and flower, and females seem to be a few days, weeks behind even.

Hope this helps. later

^^ Thought I would post this for you as well.

"Plant size in soil is directly related to pot size. If you want the plant to grow bigger, put it in a bigger pot. Usually, 1/2 gallon per foot of plant is sufficient. A six foot plant would require a minimum of a 3 gallon pot. Remember, square containers have more volume in a square space (like a closet)." ~ WF

Oh well...
an update woohoo!

So basically I borrowed my brothers cell phone, which was the same as mine that got stolen :< *jealous*

So I have some new pics. The one plant isn't doing well at all. I think it has a neut deficiency or something, but not too sure... Maybe someone can help. The other plant has just started flowering

Please can someone give me an indication as to what the problem could be... IT hasn't grown in ages, it has shown it's sex ages ago, but the leaves are getting yellower and the stems are very purple. It's literally as if it just stopped growing, and has been sitting like this for ages now. I mean look at these pics compared to the previous ones :/
