So: their roots are now in contact with soil that isn't as good as what they were used to. And: we f%^ked with them a bit, getting them into their places. Angelina, on the other hand, fit nicely in the good topsoil, and didn't have to suck it in to get into her jeans. There's a newcomer now, too! A friend gave me a clone. She had been growing under lights, but after only a couple days conditioning, she went into the garden and was christened Dolly. :thumbsup: Here are pics taken June 21.
Next time ya dig your holes, put your pots in to see if the size of hole you dug will fit your plants perfect. Also, it could be the pic, but they look close to each other. You might want to tie a plant one way and the next the other and so on. They will get used to the soil you put them into and next time, just let the soil dry out before doing any re potting as they will slide right out of the pot.

When ya top a plant you basically cut the top off right above the node or leave set. A Fim is cutting the tips of the very new growth, my favorite. This will give you from 4 to who knows tops. I got 7 with my Fim last year.

Glad to see ya here and that you put in the reading as it makes everything a bit easier. Plus you know what to expect as far as different methods you might want to try. I have a log here, so feel free to stop by and il be back here. Any help, just ask im here a couple times a day

Keep er green:weedpoke:
