update:
just finished transplanting girl #1
first i flushed it with 15 liters of pH'd water (my tap water is around pH 8.5 :wtf
then i gave it 1.4 liter of pH'd mineral water with 0.175 teaspoon of blackstrap molasses disolved in it.
then i let it sit, while i arranged the new home - an 11 Liter pot, in which i first put a 5 cm layer of hydroton with a bit of lightsoil above.
then i took the plant and rapped a nylon bag around its soil and above it i placed a cardboard which i cut to the middle and added a circular cut in the middle to allow the stem some room.
then i slowely flipped the pot while suppurting my hand below the cardboard - (it was heavy as it was saturated with water).
then i pulled the pot upside - it slided out with ease.
then i pinched the roots a bit (i hope that was right of me to do) and placed it in the new pot, covered the gaps around with new soil and returned the pot to its electric sun.

pictures of the roots and the plant are attached - it appears that the purple color climbed and reached new leaves - it has some beauty to it i must say...

if all goes well i will repeat the opearation with girl #2 tomorrow
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
