UPDATE: It looks like the issue was waterlogged cloth buckets. I did transplant one of the Durban and the Mexican Sativa to larger plastic buckets- both look happier (though a lot less full after pruning back the damaged growth). The Shaman wasn't as damaged and, since it is just 3-4 weeks away...

You are looking real good for a second year grow. You didn't mention the seed or seed type you are growing but, as Oill mentioned, wait...the stalks will fill out over time. One trick I did for the first time last year was cut any low growth/branches on your main stalks so that all bud making...

One other input- I have growing my plants in fabric bags for years; I have not had this sudden collaspe issue in the past.

I had to chop two male Mexican Sativa plants the weekend before; neither were root bound but were not nearly the size of the Durbans. I was also wondering if they (the Durbans) are root bound...

Thanks for the quick input and suggestions. Other readers- your input is also welcome! I don't have the option of planting in ground fo several reasons- I do have a 10 gallon cloth bag and will try to transplant the distressed Durban to see if that would help; if I don't kill the plant, I can...

Due to long periods of drought and high (95F/35C) temps I have had to water my plants every 2-3 days once the medium they are in becomes dry. On two occassions, I didn't water soon enough and the plants drooped. Last water/feeding was two days ago. Plants are growing in ProMix BX medium. I feed...

I appreciate the drying tips and will try to go for a longer dry period. I normally dry in my basement but, since I chopped down several trees in my yard, my basement is flooded with light in the afternoons. How dark do I need my drying area to be? I have used my laundry room (which stays dark...

My experience with seedlings going into big pots is that the medium remains wet since there isn't enough plant to draw water from the soil- resulting in soggy roots and stunted growth or root rot. I normally plant my seedlings in a 8oz cup; after 4-6 weeks to a 1/2 gallon pot and after a final...

I never thought to use the squeeze test- I did last night and the "red hair" plant buds are a lot firmer than the other plants. (Don't worry- I didn't squeeze too hard, just enough for resistance.) I will harvest those two when I get home this afternoon. No need to stagger- I clipped the plants...

Harvest time is coming for my five outdoor ladies- I have been monitoring trichomes e/o day for the past two weeks. On two plants (one is a clone of the other) about 1/3 of trichomes are cloudy, on two others (seeds from the same bag) about 2/3 cloudy & have only have seen 1 amber trichome...

I know from too much experience- your plants are under-nourished. For several years I would add nutrients to water every other week and, come mid-August, start having leaf drop. My guru in Colorado told to feed weekly- the last two seasons I have not had yellowing leaves! As suggested above...

I did the transplant last Friday afternoon (same day I posted the pics above). Root balls were pretty tight- one plant in particular was more roots than soil. All were transplanted into #7 buckets (a little more than six gallons)- in grows past I used 7 gallon fabric pots but I got a delivery of...

Here are two:

My bad- closer to two feet high (I forgot I had them on a riser when I measured...) I will post some pics later today. Thanks for all the replies!

My plants are just starting to flower- but they are still in their 2 qt starter pots. I haven't had the chance yet to move them into a 6 gallon (volume) bucket. Roots currently are starting to grow out of the bottom of their pots. They were topped at the end of May; each lady is just under 3...

Trichomes look cloudy to me- you are close but wait until you start seeing some amber color; maybe 1 -2 more weeks more but not now.

Through human error, seed gender selection, and drought my initial crop of six plants is down to one- THC Snow (and I lost 1/3 of it due to a drought-caused wilt). I guess I started it late because the plant did not start flowering until Sept 5; today (Oct 24) is Day 49 of the flowering period...

Probably not sun bleaching- I only get about 4 hours of direct sunlight/day, everything else is filtered light through a high/thin canopy of pine trees. Now that I think of it (and this same problem happens every year come late July) could it be not enough light? The plants are very vigorous in...

The plant behind is an Akuba plant (it's a privacy hedge for my little grow area), that is the way it normally looks. Newest growth looks healthy, just concerned how high up the leaves are yellowing. We are having a hot dry summer and the container is noticeable lighter only two days after...

My location is NW Georgia: Plant 1 (bag seed strain that I topped it at the sixth node in late May and it is still over 7 ft/2 m tall) germinated March 29, started flowering last week (appox Aug 5) Plant 2 (Strain: Snow from MSNL) germinated Apr 15, is currently in preflower: My...
