I see what you mean about growin slower in big pots. After they sprouted in lil containers, I put the 2 biggest ones right into 5 gal buckets, now they are the smallest plants. By far. Bet they got alot of roots. I think I took care of the bug problem, with the pyrethrine. Just gotta stay on it. I wish we were gettin more sun here. Just lots of rain. The biggest ones are growin first set of 7 leafers, and lookin like they might start thinkin bout branchin out. Wish I could sex em now, so I didnt have to transplant and raise the boys. Yeah, I been readin alot, too, but it dont help as much as the experience...
