How long did you keep them in the styrofoam cups.. mine have been in there for 3 weeks and are working on their 5th nodes. I want to see how long I can go before transplanting

i kept them in the cups for about 5 or 6 weeks from the look of the roots at that time if i had left them in the cups for another 2 weeks they would be pretty root bound.

you can always just wait till the soil is dry enough and just turn it upside down and pull the cup off gently and check the roots to see how the roots look and if its ready to transplant.

OH yea I know how to check the roots. I was just wondering how long I could go before I have to transplant. It's been going on 4 weeks and the roots are looking healthy. I can see root slowly coming out of the holes I poked in the cups. I'll let them stay in there for a while so when I transplant them they'll just explode. I also wanted to SEX them before I transplanted them because I dont want to waste time with males but it might get severely root bound before they show pre flowers.. we shall see!

oh yeah ah long as they are not looking droppy and stuff like they are root bound you should be good i would not let them stay in the cups for no more than 2 weeks at the most maybe not even 2 weeks.

i think its only been maybe 3 weeks since i transplanted the female i have in the white bucket now and she is ready to go into a bigger pot i just dont have enough soil to fill the bigger pot right now so will have to wait till i pick some up.

**MDFinest** · May-20-2011, 20:56

yea I hate when the plants are letting you know they need a bigger pot, more soil, or something else but you dont have the resources to get it to them. I try to stay as far ahead of my plants as I can so when they need something Im already ready

ah yeah i do most of the time just the closest places to get soil were sold out its no biggie though lots of people around here have veggie gardens and such not many real bud growers though just a few and they are all old timers.

i trans planted the 2 females today the oldest into her final home and the youngest into the white pot, then one of the smaller stunted ones i wanna see if it grows faster now.

i will get pics soon.

well people time for a bit of an up date i put the youngest female in the ground but have not had time to get pics of her yet.

**MDFinest** · Jun-03-2011, 18:17

Im right here with yall on the outdoor tip I just havent started a post. So far its been the biggest year for me... just hope it keeps up. But yea.. right here with all my outdoor folks. From the last pics yours are looking great and looks like they are growing quickly. Its June now so these next couple months are crunch time.. the summer solstice is right around the corner.

ah thats good to here man get a log up and some pics lets see how things are going man hehe yeah she is growing like a weed haha yeah i know i cant wait to see her in full flower so far this plant puts all the plants i had last year to shame so thats good it means i have learned some stuff and stepped up from last year.

ok here are the pics i took last week that i could not upload on here at that time as you can see from my last post before this one i will get some new ones this week.

oh i now have only 4 plants 2 are female other 2 have not shown sex gave 3 stunted plants plants to my younger cuz.

**MDFinest** · Jun-06-2011, 08:58

woww... they are looking great. Are you keeping them in pots or will they eventually go in the ground?

Thanx man well i have not decided yet i was thinking i would keep the one in the orange pot in pots and just grow the other that i already have in the ground out but i still have not made up my mind i need to soon though haha just cant find a good spot to many people riding around of fourwheelers and stuff.

**StickyBuds1987** · Jun-11-2011, 21:52

i was just wondering if its normal to have to water about ever 2 days when growing in 5 gallon pots?

see the problem with mine is like i water it on the 8th around 7pm and by the afternoon on the 10th she looks all droopy.

so i was thinking either its heat exhaustion or she needs water she is about 3 1'2 to 4 ft tall right now should i be worried about this or should i just not worry about it and just keep doing what im doing?

**SmokeMyPiece** · Jun-11-2011, 22:44

After a couple days outside, 2 days sounds about right. Couple days after watering, drooping is how i know its time to water again.

Lift em when you think they need to be watered. Then after a thorough watering, lift again. The pot should be considerably lighter before watering again. Youll start getting a muscle memory for when they should be watered. And if you cant lift, tilt.

**StickyBuds1987** · Jun-12-2011, 14:30

ah thanx man yeah she was all droopy today the last time i watered her was on the 10th so i go out and look at her today and sure enough she is droopy so i give her 2 gallons of water and before i could finish watering she was starting to perk up so i guess she is just using a lot of water.

i may get some pics later this afternoon or tomorrow if i have time.

**StickyBuds1987** · Jun-12-2011, 14:43

i almost forgot a lil tid bit there has been a small lil praying mantis living on my plant for about 3 to 4 weeks it started out as a really small brown looking one i almost gave him the thump then i realized what he/she was and so i have left it alone now its starting to get bigger and turning green i cant wait till its grown up so then it can really kill all the pests.

**StickyBuds1987** · Jun-12-2011, 20:03

hey hey guys here are the pics she looks a lil droopy but thats probably cuz it was a hot sunny day and it was late in the afternoon when i took them.

first 3 pics are of the older female that i have named Polly the blue jug in the picture is just a size scale.

the last is of the 2 younger plants i have i just tranplanted into those white pots.

let me know what you think guys and any advice on what i need to do.
