Help Please

as long as it didnt fall apart when you transplanted you should be ok. they start off slow, and shifting pots a bunch doesn't help. dont mess with it any more after you fix your soil. and yes go buy perlite.

She is good then because she held together pretty good.
I see. So it is just me being impatient with her lol.
Okay after I fix the soil I will not mess with her until it is time to do the final transplant into the biggest pot. I will have to do that last transplant because I want to at least veg her until she is at a minimum height of 2' tall and at a maximum height of 3' tall.
I will get some perlite this week.

at 2'-3' tall in veg the plant could grow to 4'-9' during flower, depending on the strain. if you only have one cfl bulb it isnt going to penetrate into the canopy very much. any thing more than 6" away from the bulb is going to get enough light. even HID lights aren't going to do much good for a overly tall plant. your best option for a single plant is going to be scrog or lst. the more even your canopy is the more bud you can get from your space. how much space do you have to grow her? what kind of lighting do you plan to use? can you easily control humidity, air flow, and temperature in your grow area?

also, fix your soil as soon as you can. the longer it sits in the new pot and grows roots, the more stressful repotting it will be.

I did not know that they grew that much during flowering. I did not measure it my grow space yet. I will do that today and then post the dimensions of the space on here. I have her in a kind of temporary grow area right now. My friend is coming over in a week to help me build a proper grow box for her. I have 2 23w daylight cfls. I was planning at some point to get something bigger and better for her. I was just going to wait until she got a little bigger. I can not easily control humidity. I can easily control Air flow. My house is old so temperature control is very difficult to do.

I fixed the soil this past Monday. The aeration and replanting went well. She is doing good.
The root ball was double the size as when I first transplanted her into the bigger pot.

cool! glad to hear everything went well, keep us updated on how she's doing. start a journal, and ask questions there.

I will definitely keep you and anyone else that is interested updated on how she is doing.
Should I start it in the Journal (blog) section or should I make a new thread?

There is still one thing that still kind of worries me. It is how slow she is growing. I have seen some plants that are as old as mine and they were way bigger than mine. Mine seems to be stuck at the 3 1/8" mark. It is not extremely cold in my grow room. It is normally any where from 60-65F in the grow room . Oh and the dimensions of my grow room are 8' H x 6' W. I was also wondering if I should I cut off the top two big leaves that are looking sickly or should I leave them alone?
