Hello Kush, Grim, Mobay ........... Thankyou for the encouraging words guy's. There very much appreciated I can assure you .

This grow is comming along as a decent average grow, one of the reasons I was very unsure about doing another grow thread is because the last couple of grows were very dissapointing to me. Also quite embarrasing .

They are about four and a half weeks into flowering, so they about half way now give or take a week. I'm seriously considering buying some bigger buckets and re-potting them because the roots are so extensive it's become virtually impossible to stick my finger in the compost to test how dry it is.

I have quite a few different pics so I'll just upload them


Thankyou all ................ love mand xxx

A few more

Oh and can I just ask for anyone's thought's on re-potting at this stage of flowering .............. would it be benifcial or would it take energy away from the bud development and put it into root development instead ?????


Thanks ............ love mand xxx

It may put the plants into shock and then they would require a recovery period. I'd ride it out and know for the next time.

By the way, I wish my plants looked like yours.. wow

Hi Mand!

Your ol' long lost bud here. How you doing? Hope all is going very well for you.

Repotting. I would think that the root ball is about as developed as it's going to get. My thoughts would be to make sure they're getting enough nutes/water and leave them where they are. But are you doing these any differently than you've done in your past grows? Why more roots this time?

Marc

P.S. Amazing how well these plants look for how bad they were doing at frist with all the browning leaves. And to think you almost trashed them! How's Runty?

[Lady Vapor]

They look smashing Mand! I hope to know half as much as you do about growing before I'm an old maid!

Good to see you growing up a storm!

Hello dion Thankyou for you're reply love, but I'm affraid by the time I read it I had already re-potted .
Hopefully there hasn't been any adverse effect on them. I bought some large household buckets, and transplanted them as quickly as possible in a area where the light was pretty dim so as to avoid any light exsposure to the roots.



Hello Marc , to be honest love I've been feeling a bit poorly just lately. Nothing much just a bit of an upset tummy, must have eaten something that didn't agree with me .

Hmmm you know me I'll ask a question but still do it anyway , but as for more roots ? , the only thing I can think of is because I'm using different seeds ........ maybe that's it ???

Now "Runty", what a strange plant that is, I've never grown one like her before. I'll post some pics and the last two are of her. She does have quite a few buds but they are all very tightly packed in against the main stem and because of her "build" the leaves are stopping any light getting to them. Really I should have taken advice off "Kush" quite a few posts back and bent her over, but room is a bit of a problem so I just left her.
So I think that because she has buds that aren't as mature has the others, when all the rest have been harvested I might try to lean her over a bit if that is possible .

Still looking on the messenger for you Marc when I'm on but just not seeing you there, hope to catch you soon .


Hello LV I have absolutely no doubt that you already know much more than I do . The truth of the matter is I'm just a very lazy grower, if I can just leave them to it and grow as cheap as possible then I'm happy .
I'm sorry I haven't visted you're grow thread recently but I've just not got on here much just lately, I'll get sometime later tonight though .





Update ............. Well the plants are in bigger buckets now because of the roots, they were so packed into my normal sized posts it was impossible to poke my finger in the compost.
They are coming up to five weeks of flowering and the plants are just over ten weeks old. I would like to see a little more bud devolpment but they have another 4 -5 weeks to go yet so I'm keeping my fingers crossed they will "thicken out a bit"

I'll just post some pics, the last two are of "Runty".
