My pots for the smaller plants are 3 gallon pots. The big plant is in a 5 gallon pot.

All the plants are in a 50/50 Mixture of fox farms ocean forest and promix.

I just flushed them yesterday and they already have additional holes in the pot for drainage.

I'm confident 3 of the plants are rootbound but with up to 6 more weeks to go I don't know if I should go ahead and repot them or just let them deal with it for 6 more weeks. I'm not sure exactly how long these should flower due to the fact that they were bag seed but I can tell that they are not even close to being done. New calyxes and pistils still popping up. 95% white pistils on all the plants.

I haven't even bothered looking at trichome color yet due to the fact that they look like they still have a long way to go.

I probably won't have pics until this saturday. What do you think SnS? Transplant or try to hold off?

I know transplanting will probably give me bigger buds but it'll probably add another week or two onto my flower time .

pulled the plants from their pots and they are very much rootbound. What a disappointment.

I'm going to go ahead and transplant them all tomorrow morning and deal with the added time on the plants

I'd rather have quality plump buds instead of mediocre buds just because I was trying to hold out for 6 more weeks. In reality 6 weeks is still a long ways off.

I've always had great luck with transplants not stressing out after I move them into a new pot. They seem to keep going on as if nothing ever happened. Let's hope this does the same.

Dahashi,

Try alternating nute formulated water and plane water, plus cut out the mollasses and just use the sweet stuff or horticultural sugars if you continue adding sugars. I cut mollasses out of my formula and never had problems since.

When I water I use one gallon each 5 gallon bucket about every 3rd day. Again alternating plane and nuted water.

I also use the fox farm nute program to the T. and add nothing more nothing less. Keeps it simple.

Very nice looking plants by the way, Your going to need a lot of support rods for them, they look like they are going to be heavyweights.

Yeah I started alternating nutes and plain water about 2-3 weeks ago.

I just transplanted all my plants today. 4 of them from 3gallon pots into 5 gallon pots and my big plant went from a 5 gallon pot into a 7 gallon pot. It's amazing how it got so rootbound in a little over 1 months time.

Got some new pics today too. Here we go.

Pic 1: Overall shot. March 14th
Pic 2: Overall shot March 29th.
Pic 3: Cola Shot March 14th
Pic 4: Same Cola Shot March 29th

edit: They yellow on the leaves is from the HPS light. For some reason it didn't show up in the cola shots last time I took the pic.

Also of interesting note, bud growth on the smaller plants is growing way faster than on my monster plant.

Checked out the trichs today. Pretty much 90-95% all clear or a little cloudy. I did come across one trichome that had barely a little amber down toward the bottom of the gland. That was kind of weird. I searched all over the plant for more amber but that was the only one. Guess he was a rebel without a cause. lol

:thumbsup:

Geez I always forget this part for some reason.

Today is day 42 of flower.

[daihashi]

Just for fun.

Pic 1: Cola shot Feburary 26th
Pic 2: Same cola shot (in previous post) March 29th.

4 weeks later. This thing has really filled out. I guess it just seems slow since I see them every day.

edit: Those are the same cola in both pictures. I've made sure to take consistent pictures of this cola for a growth reference. :thumbsup:

I'm not sure. I'm thinking anywhere between 3-6 weeks out. All my trichs are still clear/barely cloudy and the plants appear to just be making new calyxes/pistils. Not really plumping up yet.

At this point I'm just going to check the trichs once or twice a week until I see about 10-20% amber.
