After all the time and effort into saving that plant, I hope you get some new shoots. You won't see anything for at least 2 weeks now that you've transplanted. Also, if you have not done so drill a few holes in the bottom of that bucket.

I used to think that plants needed a ton of space as well, but found I could get plants over 6' without any problems all the way through flowering etc.

Let me know if and when you see activity.

Regards,

Biz

The roots were extremely shallow, I'm really shocked it ever got as big as it did. Anyways I got some nutrient rich soil and replanted it. Hope to see some growth in the coming week. Here's the new setup.

Broken Stalk Emergency First off this is my first time on this site, I searched the forums for a similar topic but none seemed to cover the severity of my problem, I also posted this in "Plant Problems" but I figured more heads are better than one, apologies if I did not search thoroughly enough. On to the problem: I have been growing a plant outdoors (flower bed), for about three months, our drought has made it difficult for the plant in the first place but she pulled through and was getting stronger every day Rating: 5
