My first grow

[deaner]

Leaves still droopy, wondering if I can repot them for the last time yet, add some perlite and not have to repot at all? 3 gallon buckets be good? or do I need the 5? I'm so ready for some homegrown buds for my ever slim stash. Flowering is easy to prolong when you've got a bunch, not so easy when you run out.

I went back and looked at some of your pics, What are they currently in 1 gallon pots? if so 3 gallon will work, but if you can use 5 gallon that garentees they won't get root bound, As for temps you need to do something. If you are getting into the 90's that is not good and a cause for your droopy plants, repoting will help get more water to the leaves but you have got to get the temps down. I see you live in Alaska. Is there any way to get some outide air to them? that is what I use to cool my grow box.

You can flower at any time now! I would repot first wait a coulple of days for them to get over the shock then go to 12/12 , plus after transplant keep your plants tied down so the other branches will grow with the main cola during flower.

Flower already? I don't want to lose out on bud by flowering too early, but I guess, I'll think about it,and work on repotting. 5 gallon buckets would be ok, seem huge though! Temp is staying under 80 today, getting the fan right took a bit. 78 degrees is good right? I think I would get some tiny lil buds if I flower now..

Sorry you confused me in your previous post, You sounded desperate and were going to flower cycle no matter what.

78 is a good temp lets go ahead and transplant now you may be root bound already in the pots your using. Give a day or two for recovery then growth will start to pick up.

Transplant should be easy you will have a nice tight rootball, how I do a transplant is fill the bucket you are going to use about half way, pack down lightly, now take either an empty container you are currently using or with a plant in if an empty one is not available. Now place this pot in the new one check the hight of the top of the soil in the small contaner to where you want it in the new pot, add or remove soil from new contaner to adjust the hight. When you have the proper hight place the small pot in the large container and add soil in between the two pots and lightly pack down until the soil levels are even. Now remove the small pot gently from the new pot and you will have a perfectly shaped hole ready for the plant. Remove the plant from the small container and place in the hole in the new pot. Water with hydrogen peroxide and molasses water formula and you done.

No rush to flower. Just want lots of good sticky buds. Next batch of seeds will be here in about 2 weeks hopefully, then I will probably start flowering, and start the next batch, I ordered satori,speed queen, and cheese from mandala, or something like that. 10 each of the 3 I think. And I ordered some from I'm not sure, planetwax?? Got the classic pack, not remembering what that is though.. I gotta repot them, only have a couple 5 gallon buckets. I want to set up the grow closet to have 2 chambers, 1 for flowering, 1 for getting them to that point, run 2 crops at once. Then I could have around 6 batches a year of 9 or so plants, should be a good amout of buds for me. A couple pounds of bud every couple months would be perfect. Feels like I just repotted but they have grown quite a bit since then I guess.

I repotted my oldest into a 2 gallon bucket, and put my un lst'd other one in the old gal pot. I know I will have to just repot again, but guess I'm adopting some new girls, octuplets, and they are bout ready to flower so I wll be flowering alot and also cloning alot real soon. Pickin up 8 tommororw hopefully, will let 2-4 go to a friend since he's been helpful to me getting started (I'm a Karma guy). So, yeah fer me huh? I wonder if I should lst the new girls too, they are all definate females, since they are clones, how fuckin sexy is that? 8 identical clone girls.. oh yeah I'm stoned.. I keep feeding them cuz they keep gettin dry, hopefully it's ok to do this, they seem to be enjoying it. It is hot and dry in there and very sunny, I'd be thirsty too, especially being made of plant, I get cotton mouth from smokin it, they ARE it. I need to take a break so I can enjoy mine, not have such a crazy tolerance they seem weak ya know?

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

Your sounding like Bradjolina for adopting all them girls.

Can you get some pics so we can see your progress? sounds like you are going to have a full grow and them some, your getting like me I went crazy with cloning now I got so many plants going, I am still trying to figure out how I am going to deal with them.

[deaner]

Pics when I find my damn camera, lil s.o.b. took off and hid somewhere on me. Room looks ready for the adoption, still haven't got ahold of the parent, oops there he was, later tonight 8pm ish. Damn it all! Oh well more time to prepare for the girls.
