4 Females Heading Toward Week 5 Flowering - HIGH RES PICS

[Zimed]

Hey guys, one of the four female had a magnesium deficiency, so it stressed it and then naturally stunted it's growth for about a week, while I was applying epsom salts. Now the plant is back in order with strong white pistols emerging. The thing is, the illness it developed is going to delay it's finish time for harvest. Like, one of my other females, is a month older the other three, and I will be chopping her much earlier than the other three, simply because they were all fimmed, this oldest one had no fimmed used on it, and was only LST'ed.

Pictures are here, tell me what you guys think. Is it natural for females that have been fimmed to take longer to flower? I am using big bloom and tiger bloom together, to provide the much needed phosphorus.

This question, please someone answer: I am always god damn afraid that the largest healthiest plant in the blue container is going to get root bound, but my mother keeps on assuring me, it can finish it's flowering cycle in it without needing transplantation.

The largest and oldest one by a month is the one in the blue container that is pictures BY ITSELF IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS. All the other three females are in a brand new setup because they were getting to close to my lights so I had to make another setup, but that one female, I am afraid will go root bound.

It has holes on the bottom for the water to leak out and we just transplanted it about two weeks ago, and the roots are already pushing through the drainage holes in the pot, and I can see them starting to accumulate at the bottom. But then again, I saw the same thing with it when it was ij it's original container before I transplanted it to this, and it was fine like thaat for a while, and was still growing.

So my mom thinks it is dangerous to transplant it, because, the PLANT IS SO BIG, she says that their is a risk of damaging the flowers and the foliage. What do you guys think on this issue?

Thanks!

Enjoy the pictures!

I mean generally fucking speaking, how long can a plant last in that container?

That blue container is somewhere between 10-15 gallons, and I tranplanted it about two and a half weeks ago.

Can it last until it is done flowering?

Here is a picture I took a few days ago that will show you the container!!

Please reply!!

I would say if you are half way through flowering and haven't seen any signs of the plant being rootbound, just leave it. It looks like it's doing just fine. The plant is going to stop gowing pretty soon (if it already hasn't) to focus on budding if I am correct.

So after a certain point has been reached in flowering, the plant no longer grows more roots and vegetation, but rather exerts all energies on resins and budding. So, the roots' wont grow much more, is that correct?

It looks like the main cola will be done in four weeks.

it seems more like 2-3 gallon my 5 gallon buckets are bigger then that container

I think it's just the angle, I was using at Ultra Wide Angle Lens, so it sort of distorts the perspective a bit.

Bottom line is, can it live the rest of its' live their (6-7 weeks)?

The other three have a lot of room left, but if I WERE TO TRANSPLANT IT, can someone tell me how it can be done, transplanting a 2 1/2 ft plant without damaging bud sites, nodes, branches, leaves or stems?

How, it is just so big, heavy and cumbersome. I would have to have my mom and dad help me with that bit.


Can transplantation be done succesfully without destroying the plant?

If someone is questioning whether or not their plant is root bound, how can someone tell for certain? (other than pulling it out of the container and examining it? How else can you tell? I mean I see the roots coiling and spiraling at the bottom of the container, and I just transplanted it about three weeks ago and added like 7 more inches of soil to the container for it to grow in, and it's already showing me this. How is it possible to keep o and on and on transplanting when they keep growing roots so god damn fast.

Looks good. I am almost sure you can keep them in said container until the finish bro.

Thanks for the reply dude. That is what my Mother keeps on telling me also. She just ABSOLUTELY insists that transplanting it will lead to a high probability of foliar damage, which is not good. She also said, trying to transplant such a big thing can be risky (say, if it was dropped).

I do not think I will transplant it. God damn it, the head on that mature plant that is older than the other three is crazy. Well it has about 12 main colas, but the two on the top look like the were outside during a winter frost. That is how much the crystals have been piling up since my last update.
