BLO, be patient and you will get more expert response's as you give more information. I am sure you will be asked about soil mix, etc. However, I have read threads in here, in the past about using too big of a pot to start your pot in and you can check them out, while waiting for your specific problem. In fact, you can check out some AK-47 X SS (I think) written by Shovelhandle and others. Good luck with your grow and stick around for some expert advise! PR
