First Grow

[rev]

Hey Fred!

Just droppin by. I would transplant if at all possible, tho I'm putting mine off too! I have the room, but not the pots. Do you have a thermometer and humidity guage. The little digital ones are like 15 bucks. I live by those numbers, and Ph...

If and when you transplant, you'll notice an explosion of growth.
-make sure soil & water are 70 deg farenhieght, and simular to what they're in now
- make sure they are ph'd
-No nutes! for the 1st few days...
-be very gentle w/ the root ball

Look forward to seeing what happens!

Hey Rev! Nice to hear from you. Actually, I don't have a thermometer or humidity gauge. I ran out of the - ph factor a few days ago and need to go get some today. My soil dries out in a day and my plants tend to get very droopy. I am thinking I need to transplant very soon. You are right!

Thanks for the advice on the transplant. I am not incredibly happy with my soil now as I think it is aiding the drying out process. I will make the proper adjustment to it once I transplant. Lots of craziness with this growing, huh? It is almost kind of an emotional experience. So, thanks again for your help and I will definetly keep you posted.

Best!

Looks like I will be transplanting tomorrow. I was going to see if I could hold it off to determine sex, but thinking that might be another two weeks and I should not risk it.

Hope everyone is well!

Hey...
Thanks for the support. Transplant went well I guess. My only problem is they start to get really stressed about the 12th hour under the lights. Problem is I have really poor ventilation and they tend to droop and wither. Once the light goes out, they perk right up and are ready for the next day's beating. Either case, they are quite resilient and are looking quite good. I have about 12 more days of vegetation.

Thank you for the advice to transplant. They really needed it.

Peace!

Ready to be topped.

How big are those pots? (3 liter?) you need 1 gallon for every foot and a quarter; sorry bout the stupid american weights and measures. I go start to finish in 3 gallon pots; and mine rarely get taller than a controlled 2.5 feet. I'd don't want to make you paranoid, i'd just hate to see them get rootbound during flowering.

Thanks so much for the message and advice! I unfortunately have very limited space. I really don't want to, but might have to transplant them again. I think it would most likely not be recommended, however I could do that after I determine the sex. Either case, I appreciate the help!

Best-

So, yes, I know they need to be in bigger pots. Either case, they look quite healthy.
