Well things have moved on, we've carried on playing with the ventilation in the cellar and should have it up and running in the next few days.
The repotting of the widows went to plan and I took a few pics to show the roots and that. Pretty pleased with them actually as there was no brown, I'd worried about root damage with the droopiness but do seem to have got away with the earlier watering regime without doing too much harm. They picked right back up after a few days in the 5" pots so its onwards and upwards and they're already showing signs of needing to be potted on again and will be as soon as theres room for the bigger 11" pots.
Still struggling with the aks a bit, they're no worse just no better though I have potted them up into 11" pots yesterday which I think will help as they'd well filled the pots they were in. I'm hoping that a bit of time, biogrow and a finished ventilation system will sort them finally. I still believe one or two of them will be healthy enough for seeding with a widow male if I get one. The front right ak in the last pic is a better candidate than she appears there so perhaps she'll be the one. We'll decide for sure closer to time though as the back 2 plants are nice/n/bushy they just need to pick up first. Don't want seeds from a sick mother really thats making nature work too hard.
Thats it for now really I'll be back soon with more pics and with a bit of luck the flowering room'll be ready soon so I can show what we've come up with there and Harddon the waters sorted now as I've moved back onto dehumidified which they've always thrived on thanks.:thumbsup:
