First Grow: Diary of a "Growing" Obsession

Hey borbor,

I am trying to size how large ur pot is. If it is close to 7"x7"x5" u might not need to transplant. i know even 1" in pot size can make a difference. My soil in my pot is only 4" deep with 1" of rocks at the bottom. It seems like she has no problem growing either. Also it wont hurt to much to transplant it on a 12/12 cycle but would prob be better to keep vegging a few days after transplanting to help the roots set in. Also keep in mind the larger the pot will mostly equal a larger plant if u are worried about the height.

I am still a newb, so if someone has more information about it shoot, will not hurt my feelings xD xD.

1 thing, with my pot size vs my plant size she sucks down the water FAST! i mostly have to water every day.


P.S. Seeing how good of a job u are doing so far i am sure either way you go with it will turn out fine

8 inch diameter at the top, 7.5 high, 6 inch diameter at the bottom, about to transfer into one foot diameter at the top, 11.5 high, 8.5 diameter at the bottom. Thanks for the response! I decided I'm going to transplant it now, and that I'm too impatient and I should veg for a couple more days. Flowering on the 21st, as I originally planned. height is not a real issue, not really trying to hide it, since my mom knows and all, I guess I'm just too much of a lazy stoner and didn't want to have to make another new setup haha. I'll do it.

Pics in a minute, I'm about to transplant and get my mom to take photos of the roots during for you guys

awesome. My mom is claiming part of my plant -_-.. waiting to check out pics

I cant remember where but i read that a 6x6x6 pot is a good size for an indoor grow. Just hope my pot size wont limit my bud growth. Ill be ok. First grow worry worry worry but has always turn out ok so far .

never heard anything so true

Here's some pics, some of how I re-did my setup for the bigger pot as well.

another question-how cloudy does it need to be for my CFLs to be better than putting her outside?

Im jealous . Looks like a great move. She will love u for it

Thanks man, I put her in the furnace room that I promised I wouldn't put her in last night, for the last time, since she had a couple of bites when I took her out 10 minutes ago. Despite the bites, she's looking amazing after her first 12 hour nap! I'll have some pics in a bit

Just woke her up, on day 2 of 12/12 she's almost touching that light directly above her, damnit, gotta make a new setup today, I figured I had at least a week in flowering before I had to do it, nevermind.

Enjoy! the one brown burnt leaf was from the plant getting too close to the light a week or two ago, it hasn't shown up in a lot of pics

Found it . Im just high -_-. How tall is it now? It will hopefully grow a lot so u'll get lots of bud.She is loving that new pot i bet. Looking healthier than mine ;p.

3 days flower and in her setup now, there's 6 26 watt 2700k CFLs, 3 26 watt 6500k CFLs, and one 42 watt 2700k

she was 12 inches when she went to bed, she's either 13 or 14 now I believe

sunny day, looks like she grew a lot last night! kinda thinking about trimming some fan leaves that are on top of new growth so that could push through. Thoughts?

just read some threads on here, not trimming fan leaves

picking up some clones with a couple buddies today =)

Looks great! If some of the fan leaves are getting in the way of lower colas i would just tuck them back. Wait a week and see how much she stretches out.


Looks really good. Keep on keeping on

I should have kept LSTing, I say next to my 16 inch plant. Needs new setup

I will be lsting from now on with all my plants, unless it is an auto or seeds from a seedbank, all bagseeds are getting topped and tied down . Going to try to have more smaller vs less larger plants.
ahh see the sig ;p

haha good plan, here she is just now, liking what I see, I think the burn is heat related

edit, sorry forgot to finish uploading

hey congrats on the growth. I am following your progress man and myself have a plant for the first time i dont have my camera so i cant updater any pics but it is so much fun isn't it? anyway great job and keep up the good work. what kind of strain is she??

Thanks! It's sooooo fun! she's supposed to be "magic merlin" but I dunno if it was pollinated by a different strain or went hermie, bagseed surprise I guess

Just made a new setup since she's too big for my window now.

thought I'd let you all know as well because I'm just so so so happy, I just became employed in my dream job. Delivery driver!

kinda like ups or fedex? i want to work for ups soo bad. Would be a dream job. Love the cardio aspect.
