pot size question

[the image reaper]

I concur w/Stinky ... Cervantes spouts plenty of errors along with the facts, there are much better Grow Guides out there ... anything by Mel Frank is the best, IMHO ... his collaborations with Ed Rosenthal are legendary (but Mel was the real 'brains' in growing, Ed is more of the 'spokesman/publicist' partner) ... you can download FREE copies of their guides, etc. from here: GrowMoreWeed.com - Guides to growing cannabis weed marijuana
whenever you see a discrepancy between Mel's 'way of doing things', and Cervantes', go with Mel ... :jointsmile:

I'm saying a gallon a month is just a safe bet. You would never run out of room with that rule. And Cervantes may be a crackpot burnout, but he still knows a lot about growing...

And as for the not growing anymore once you change the photoperiod, a pure sativa will keep growing upwards. But if you have more than 30% indica in your blend, you're not going to see dramatic change growing up after a 12/12 switch.

Sorry for the confusion...

Thank you Stinky and Imagereaper, I just got enough 5 gallon buckets today,

just to add a little more info today is the end of week 6, when I look at the bottom of the buckets I do have roots just starting to come out the holes. So is that telling me it is full and time to transplant?

Also is it better to transplant before flowering, or after, or does it matter.

After reading your posts I need to wait till tomarrow if I do anything , soil is to moist.

And at six weeks should I flower now or do I have a little more time.

Jerry - before you transplant, drill some holes in the sides of your new buckets near the bottom, as well as the bottom. The rim on the bottom of those kind of buckets tends to trap the water under the bucket.

Nice looking plants!

another option ( and what I did) was use the quickquete concrete stuff and make the edge of the bottom of the bucket rounded. It works and keeps your roots from molding. It doesn't take much of a slope at all, it pretty much just looks like a big bead of smoothed concrete aroung the rim on the inside. Then drill holes in the bottom.

But concrete is shitty to work with...

I always drill large holes (1/2" or more) in the sides of pails.
You can transplant at any time as long as you minimize damage to the root ball.
I typically transplant for the last time after the flowering stretch is mostly over, so at hte end of week 2. This lets me gauge appropriate finishing pot size.

Damn, Jon, you're a glutton for punishment, aren't you?

What want to know is where you buy a 1/2" finishing trowel???

I always thought Jack Herrer was a heavy Indica and not a sativa

Jack Herrer has way more sativa than indica or afgahan.You will know it's sativa dominant when you smoke it!!!!!!!! It has a narcotic high! It will couch lock your ass! Some BAD ASS SMOKE! This is my 4th grow with Jack Herrer.

Ga Grown!:stoned:
