I bread my seed crops in 3 inch pots the plants are dwarfed by root lock, but the seeds grow up to be normal.

week 4
week 4
well here they are, i would be happy to pull 1/4oz dry off each, who knows, 4 weeks left to go, anything is possible:
glad i started these, ran into cloning problems on the table
on the other hand, the new mama's are taking, i can see new growth looks normal.....will the MG def. on the lower leaves ever go away? or will they always be damaged, and just watch new growth?

question
question
4 weeks from harvest, is it pointless to transplant this far along? having cloning issues so,,,,,,figure they'll get whole light for now, and might need to the xtra weight if transplanting this late will help or not....
i have 5.5"inch squares that i was thinking about using
edit update: i did transplant the 16oz cups into 6" square pot, i dbl potted it like BOG does. hopefully it helps and not hurts. now, every gram counts.

me - always use ½ gallon pots
made from 2 litre soda bottles
biggest yeild to date - ICE - vegged to 18" in soil cropped @ 60 days average 20g per plant.
biggest single plant : Papaya - 3 month in veg LST, in perlite (hempy bucket x wick system) its got 3 weeks left, its gonna piss an ounce (fingers crossed)
not bad for 90mm²

update on mamas that got transplanted:
they are holding steady, not really growing that fast yet, ppm staying the same, as with ph, for a lot longer than normal, probably because they haven't eaten it yet. in a 3 gallon rez i usually have #'s jumping around sometimes.
i did do something different with the roots on transplant into net cup. just shove them into the bottom and pour on the rocks!
usually i try to intertwine them somewhat in the hydroton, but this actually is taking better than that way.

hi. someone on og said 10g a liter and it seems to be accurate, but sometimes you can get more. if i use small pots i prefer small diameter but deep instead of shallow and large diameter. sometimes its better to use small pots, when you dont want a massive/too tall plant. me personally i wouldnt use less than 4-5liters under flouros and 10 under hps (so you dont have to water them twice a day :wink: ) but if you dont have problems with heat 5liter is enough
I want to do a perpetual grow with seed into 12/12 and I think repotting once after sexing will be enough, less stress and according to BOG the plant likes to root the pot before growing big upstairs. So, will 32 OZ. cups to start allow the plant to overgrow the soil mass almost completely in the 20 days - month that it takes to sex straight from seed? And, the should the second pot be 1 or 2 gal? I want the root to be established about two weeks (or sooner) into the second month as the plant begins to pack on the weight upstairs.

update
well 8 plants, 8 weeks flower, 1 week veg, dixie cups, 4 days hang dry, 8 nugz headed to the jars.....
the roots didn't take past the dixie cups to the 6" square pots that i transplanted them into @ week 4 of flower, did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! save yourself the trouble of late transplanting, not worth it IMO.
dunno how much those weith either, no digitals in this house, will wait for friend to come by. peace.
hope this swt#3 is some good smoke.

don't worry there cid, don't think I ever said anything about watering twice a day. think the most they took was maybe once every other day near the end. your posts are an inspiration to us all.

after 30 days, we got 6grams per plant. can't say it wasn't totally worth it. in 30 more days, we will be smoking it
