was also wondering if the pot size will make my buds stay the same? I feel that I have a small pot for this plant. I wanna move into a bigger one but I do not know if that will shock it and kill it? Is it ok to transplant it this far in? I wouldnt think so but I can be wrong!

looks right on schedule. I wouldnt transplant it so late in flower. it could cut into production while it is adjusting. your plant seems healthy so let it keep doing it thing. How big is your pot? I have seen people grow 12/12 from seed in like 32 oz soda cups. (i wouldnt do it though). nicely done.

I believe its a half gal pot. ( not to sure! ) for the basic pots you get at the store there are 3 sizes like small medium and large. I have the medium about 10in high and 10in in diameter.

I cant wait to chop it up and enjoy the natural flavors. I herd/read that Radioshack has good Microscopes so I can look at the crystals?

Yeah I thought transplanting it would prob be a bad idea. So i will live with what she gives me :bigjoint: just the first one of many!

Thanks for your input

I'm not sure but I think my pot is 5 gal. and is 14in tall and 14 in diameter so you may have a 3 gal. already, not sure.

I am using the shultz 2-7-7 sense its the only thing I could find without having to go online near me. I was wondering about the main sun leaves. They started to loose their color when I went into flowering and they have been just dying off. I read up that is normal but I do not know. In all honesty I have NO idea what the seed was either. It was from my buddy and he said it was either a purple kush or haze seed. But im going to add some new pics cus I went camera happy for a little bit

have you been checking the pH?
does the soil have any slow/timed release ferts in it?

is that the schultz cactus food one?
id grab some epsom salts and use that with the ferts too, about a tsp/gal, theres no mention of any Mg content in the those ferts as far i could find and they like a decent amount of Mg. rest of it looks ok tho
a bit of yellowing the later weeks of flowering is normal, like after 4wks, should be green up till then tho.

I have been just suing basic shultz 2-7-7 sense its the only thing I could find at the store. And for vegi I actully used Shultz 10-15-10. So far as for my 2nd plant It freaking killer looking compared to my first baby. Ill be adding pics everyday.

As far as the leaves I really do not know why they are turning yellow. They started to turn when I went into Flowering. I read the vegi stage leaves will fall off die and turn yellow like what I got. I was thinking maybe the temp change ( sense we got our ac fixed ) is why the leaves look the way they do? We were out of AC for the first 3 weeks of the flowering. Or maybe I left the plant to close to my 250 hps light.

Yes it is the shultz catus food!

As far as time released stuff I honestly have no idea. I didnt know wtf I was doing when I got my first plant. So I used the same soil ( new soil in the pot of course just same bag ) I didnt bother to think about looking for time released.

How long do you think I should use the epsom salt for?

epsom salt adds magnesium. I would recommend switching to a fox farm, or similar nute. I wouldnt panic though, the plant isnt in that bad of condition. it will pull through. honestly i have seen similar plants that grew just fine in that condition.

add the epsom salts every feed, itll add magnesium and sulfur and help keep em greener.
itll make the buds a bit bigger too

I only use epsom salt 2-3 times a month
once a month if I forget
not too much tho, plants absorb it in small portions

how much of the mixture should I use when watering. Say I got the gallon mixture of it. How much of that should I use before I switch to the water with out the salt? Do I water it one day with the salt solution then switch?

(last time I tried switching stuff around this late I killed it, but also did not do any forum talking like I am now)



its takes about 3 - 5 days for my plant to gobble up a gallon of water depending on the weather and how hot the room is. Its usually cool in there below 80 for sure. ( I think its hard to pay attention when you just water it and walk away )

just use it when youre feeding them, not every time you water them. feed as per usual but with some epsom salts aswell.

make sure you take your time curing the bud though.... tis the most important part of the growing process imo
