thx for the quick reply Rusty,

i knew i should try and loosen the roots somehow, and so i carefully pinched them with my fingers ,but they were very gentle so as a result i actually made small holes around the rootball - i hope that won't cause too much of a problem as some of the root tips are probably now dead because i detached them (though they are still connected to the rootball) .

so tonigh i'll translplant the 2nd plant and this time i'll be more easy on the roots and only message them.

in what rate should i increase the amount of molessas during the next weeks?
also, does the molessas alone will give good results for the final bud swelling? or maybe i should try and give some of my old nut's anyway? (i mean i don't want to take risks for a small difference, but at the moment the buds look like they can still develop and swell alot, and so im wondering if the molasses alone will be sufficient for this job)

also - should i give them some root-juice to stimulate root growth to new soil?

p.s. - the smell is wonderful, a bit like ripe mango or passion-fruit, and pistills started to turn brown.
monkey_man Reviewed by monkey_man on . lower leaves turning purple-brown hello all! i have 2 plants, both are at the begining of their 5th week of flowering. about two weeks ago i've noticed that in one of the plants, some of the lower fan leaves were starting to turn purple-brown, 3-4 days later it also happened with the other plant. since than, the color spread to some more leaves, but only to the lower/med sections and only to the larger leaves (not to the small ones which surround the flowreing areas). in one plant, two of the purple-brown leaves developed Rating: 5
