Just kidding. Nice catch of finding that. I don't think I'd have even questioned whether or not they were root bound.

Like Doob3r said, they N problem should clear up now that you've got them in a bigger pot. But if it doesn't, GH's Flora Grow is almost pure nitrogen. Maybe splash a bit of that into your reservoir. You might also make a light foliar feed out of it, say at about 250ppm, and spray your leaves for day or two.

I didnt think I'd have a problem with this setup and the plant size until I felt the sides of the small pot buldging out and were hard as a rock. I pulled it out and the roots were so compacted that it was nearly impossible to get them loose. I just hope she gets back to her regular growth rate and gain the coloring back.

...and its shapin' up to be some high quality product. The 2 bottom branches were very small and way more mature than the rest of the plant. I used my scope to inspect the trichs and all of them were cloudy, and the stigmas were about 70% brown on one and 40% brown on the other. I picked em and let them dry out a bit for a couple days. Loaded my bowl up with it a few mins ago and I'm lifted right now. Though its a pure Indica, its pre-mature so its givin me a 100% cerebral high. I want the couchlock with this one so I'm gonna let it go for the long stretch so I can't move after I smoke.

Peace

Changed my nute solution hoping it will help get some color back in the mix plants fan leaves. K2 is doing amazing, fat frosty nugs. Cant wait to harvest it. Blue Mystic is starting to fill out and is giving off a very fruity aroma. I think after my next grow when I get the ebb & flow running again I'm gonna do a nice little SoG op with the Blue Mystic and K2. They're short, not so branchy strains that seem like they'd be perfect for SoG.

I put a 20oz Vity water bottle next to the tops of Mix and Blue so you can get an idea of how large they are.

Awesome very nice work. Yellowing is normal but if you are not harvesting soon, maybe some N will carry it.

[Mordecai]

Thanks man. Its not very close to harvest yet, and have some Flora Micro to add for help with the N problem.

Just got some pics of the K2 today. Shes the closest to harvest and theres not much change in the mix plant or the Blue Mystic, although 70% of the mix plants stigmas have turned red. The difference in bud size and maturity is very noticable each day I go to check on the plants, its awesome. The trichomes are all cloudy still, so hopefully the buds will swell even more before she gets chopped.

What-up Mrodecai. Looks like I stopped by just in time cuz those are some fine lookin' females you've got there. Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to the smoke report.

I cant even wait to harvest. The K2 looks like its ready to go, but like half, give or take a few, of the hairs are red and its covered in trichs. I dont see any amber trichs unless Im color blind. I was expecting to see a few?

Hey, thanks August. I'm getting so excited for harvest!

[Mordecai]

I got a ton of pics today. Bought a macro filter for my camera and its sick, gets a super nice shot. I took some pics of Blue, but not many.

K2 is doing awesome, nice swollen buds. Shes looking sooo good. I think next week Im gonna run straight H20 in the resivoir to flush em out, not too sure though. Blue's pistils were all white yesterday with a few random brown ones and I went to check on her today and I noticed a big difference in her lower buds. Theyre starting to swell and she smells sooo sweet.

I also got a little treat for you guys at the end of this post.

I took a ton of pics, just testin out some different lighting.
There are really all of the K2 with my awesome new macro filter.









Heres some sweet bud Im smokin atm. I got a half O of Blubonic left from my last pick up.





And coming soon.....



I already made the cakes, sterilized them, and spored em!
