The way the guy at the hydro shop explained it to me, is that they just turn around and start growing inward. I don't know about that, but I will after these plants finish There's a chemical you can paint onto the inside of your pots that will make them stop growing before they get to the edge of the pot, and will make them turn and grow inward, forming a dense root ball. I forgot the name of it, I'll look it up later.

It's called Griffin's Spin-Out, and the chemical that makes the roots act this way is called copper hydroxide. Spin-Out contains copper hydroxide.

Just a quick pic update on the moms. They're hanging in there waiting for a transplant up. Ill be ordering those smart pots this week, thanks again for the tip. ITs pretty easy to transplant with those??

Some of the plants are givin me some issues, I think probably some might be rootbound, but We will see what happens, They will be ok. I have room to xplant one more to the "next size up" pot that I have and like I say Im ordering some smartpots too. Im not sure what size I want yet I think I will get a range. here are the plants

Og's perkin up


Reveg is givin me yellow on the bottom but everything else looks great on her so Im thinking the yellowing is ok


Sadhu micro


517



Cruella micro gave me a little yellowing that looked like nute burn?? Strange since I havent given her any nutes. I hear WW gets burnt easilly so maybe the soil is a little hot for the WW?? I m sure shell be ok.



Ice is handling its confinement pretty well considering its size, its really a beautiful pheno



The Master Kush Micro has stretched more than I would like but its all good



They're not getting optimal light in the cab right now. they're gonna love when I get one of those big moms out of there to flower. Let me know GC

So quick update, had to xplant some of them cuz they were rootbound and I didnt want to mess with them too much till I get clones of them.

And I got rid of the Reveg. Gave her to my boy who has some plants I gave him. The reveg was just an experimenet and had served its purpose. I still have the strain in my garden.

Here are the xplanted mini moms. Still havent gotten the growbags, procrastination lol

Widow (Cruella)


OG is looking Real nice, still not sure what to call her. Im liking the pheno tho


ICE (Not named yet either)


Master Kush (Margie)


They're already a little taller than I would like but Ill be cutting htem back once they are more established. I really want them small, but as long as they can stay in the cab they are cool

[IMgreen]

your little moms ALL look better than mine does!

[gonejah17]

Dog Ive SEEN ur mom . . . . and ur right lol JK have her call me

[IMgreen]

damn...

is nothing sacred???


As a side note, the one little clone I do have as a mini mom is starting to green back up nicely under the big CFL!

I replaced my 6 individual veg CFL's with one of them general hydroponic 125 watt monsters and DAMN what a difference!

I am gonna have to build a shelf with CFLS for moms, but in the meantime she's loving the light

was $75 well spent
(50 for bulb and 25 for a really nice pre wired mogul base)

[gonejah17]

lol left urself open on that one.

Damn 125 CFL!! my 65 watt is super bright I cant imagine a 125 watt. Im jealous they must love it!!

[IMgreen]

Quick update on the minis . . .

Took out two big veggers from the mom cab (Margie and Cruella) so they can toughen up and get ready to flower. Theyll go under the HPS in about 2 and a half weeks.

So now the moms have more room in the cab to stretch . . .

Shorty needs a haircut lol. I wanna bud her so bad but shes just not healthy yet.


And here are the moms

ICE sweet pheno



OG Loving this pheno too


Master Kush (she has some issues)



WW



Sadhu



517 (slight issues as well)



K more updates soon. Im hearing I should start feeding all of these little ones. Makes sense to me.
