Yikes! The bottom set of leaves are folding under and twisting!

[The Grim Reefer]

Here's the sickly one:

I can also see a few tips of root peering through at me from the bottom holes. Rootbound?

[The Grim Reefer]

Here's the healthier one. The bottom leaves (the first real set of leaves) have become completely yellowed and brownish.

Again, I see a few SMALL tips of root from 1 or 2 holes.

The heat should not be a problem. Think of a green house, they can get over 100 degrees, but has high humidity.

The pots are a good size and will be fine untill the plant is over a foot tall. They still look like the bottom of the soil is lacking oxygen and staying damp do to the drooping leaves. You should be able to pick those pots up with two fingers before you need to water. Do those pots have decent air holes towards the bottom?

The phosphorus is very high so just becarfull. Phosphorus can be stored by the plant better then N or K. The plant uses the most N then K then P.

Awesome!

Thanks for the info Karm.

I did actually go ahead and transplant to bigger pots, about 4 inches more across the top.

I went ahead and doubled the size of each hole on one pot.. the other one I forgot to do though. If I see any problems I'll definitely take an exacto knife to it.

When I pulled the plants out of the old pots, there was a mass of roots along every side as well as completely covering the bottom. I don't know if that means anything, the entire pot was basically the rootball.

Another thing to mention would be that when I first potted them, I was told to put nothing but pearlite at the bottom to allow for better drainage, but after seeing the rootball up close and personal I've decided never to do it again.

Ever.

How do marijuana roots grow?

Also, I got some 100% organic fish emulsion with a rating of 5-1-1 and mixed it with some superthrive (of course incredibly small dosages) and watered them in their new homes.

I'll give you some updated pics in a day or so to see the progress!

Nice they should take off in terms of growth if your roots are that developed. The only 5-1-1 I used is Alaska which is good stuff. The superthrive since it is derived from kelp it should be high in K which is good. I cant find the numbers anywhere but I am going to be putting out a simular product and it is a 1-1-21 basically. I would guess the superthrive is simular to mine which is...
Average composition:
Solubility: > 99.0%
PH 8-10
Moisture 1-5%
Crude protein 6-8%
Organic matter .>45%
Alginic acid 10-20%
Mannitol 4-7%
Nitrogen 1.0-1.5%
Phosphorus:0.5-1.5%
Potassium 16-21%
Iron 0.2-0.4%
Calcium 0.15-0.20%
Sulphur 1.0-3.0 %
Magnesium 0.2-0.9 %
Total amino acid: 1.5-3.5% Essential trace elements:
Cytokinin & gibberellin: 600ppm-800ppm
(Natural hormone)
Copper 1-6ppm
Vitamin: >600ppm
Zinc: 50-200ppm
Manganese 5-12ppm
Molybdenum 1-5ppm
Boron: 16-24ppm
Nickel: 1-3ppm
Selenium: 2-3ppm
Plumbum: <10ppm
Hg: < 5ppm
Co: < 5ppm
Cd: < 5ppm

Growth hormones do lock up so you only need a little.

I'm using Alaska too!

Is there anything you used alongside it?

I must say it smells like enema remains and baby vomit.

[karmaxul]

I think maxicrop is a good buddy for Alaka with a 1-0-4 NPK. A 6-1-5 is great for veg.

GRIM...

your plants are stretching cause your lights are way way to far away...
bring those lights to about 1/2 inch away...
those are fluorescent bulbs .. correct?

they should almost be touching the leaves...

I dont think those are flouros. See the inner igniter, flouro dont have those. They look like a MH to me although I have never seen them frosted like that so I see where you get that they look like flouros from.

These are actually 2x 250 watt HPS bulbs, I set everything up differently last night since I can tell there's going to be a lot more height, haha- is there a possibility of having "too much" air blowing on my ladies?
