Also im thinking of transplanting to a 3,5 L pot is that ok or should i use a big pot

You can’t see the roots ? Pretty sure I can see them.

Lethidox · May 29, 2019

yea i can see the roots as well if your plant is that big in that size cup and roots are not visible imo you done fucked up there should roots visible in that size cup by now. as for the bending part easy; POT UP and back fill the stem. it is likely bending because it is chasing the sun. i've seen that happen quite a few times already with my dads outdoor plants. they are shaded and they grow at an angle reaching for sunlight. looks alright to me otherwise could be better but if first time not bad. you will get better the more you continue to grow.

What Jim says and quickly lol. I use 10 gallon bags outdoors to cut down on watering intervals by a bit.

i would pot up to a 3gal as stated. they will out grow a 3gal easily. then 5gal then 7gal if you want depending how big you want the plant to get. i normally don't go past a 5gal i believe. i have a bunch of fabric pots though 3gals, 5gals, 7gals, 10gal. i stay between 5gals and 7gal mainly because i don't grow too high and they are in fabric pots so they will get air pruned anyways. my next run will be a 10gal if i can find the pot mostly because im growing 1 plant instead of 3 in my tent and will just scrog if i were growing 3 i'd go 5-7gals as usual but i will be training the fuck out of my next grow

Go for a 500 gallon raised bed.

I think of just putting it in the ground normaly nothing special just in my backyard

turbobuzz · May 31, 2019

If that plants 4 weeks, you're behind schedule. Very small for 4 weeks. Definitely need to make a decision quick on what you're going to do, and do it.

As long as you dig a big hole and fill it will good soil.

Unless you live on some miraculously fertile land with precious fertilized soil?

I'd rather put it in a big pot above ground with good soil.

precious soil is everywhere. slap that thing right in the ground and call it good. if you got money and time you may get a bigger yield if you add perlite and some peat to loosen the mix but if i had to choose i would always pick mother nature....built in life already.

she needs a new pot , even if its just a one gallon for now. try not to ever use a clear cup , the sun;light kills the roots. I would let her sit outside for a few days to acclimate it ...then plant her right in the ground right away.

Thanks im gonna do that im firstly gonna put in a small pot for 1-3 days then in a 3 gallon pot for a few days after that im gonna plant in the the yard the soil is good but it has a lot of rocks

It is and it isn't. It really depends where you live?

If you're in a high density urban population, those homes are built over shit dirt and clay and rocks. Definitely not potent soil viable for growing top crops.

If you live on some nice farm, you might have some good soil!

I wouldn't keep transplanting unless roots have grown into the pot, and they're actually ready to transplant.

That sounds contradictive... good soil but has a lot of rocks? (I'm not trying to be harsh, I just want to help you succeed to the best of your ability!)

getogrow · Jun 1, 2019

The rocks are good for the roots unless its a rockpit. the rocks will act like perlite or anything inert to help the roots breathe. Specially helpful in clay soils.

i agree with joint, do not repot them several times , just once , then into the ground , or straight into the ground.
all good soil starts out as shit dirt , till the life starts forming in the dirt an turning into a good soil. My friends house was built on shit dirt and rocks 20 years ago.....now its prime land. (not as good as it gets but prime none the less)

That plant is green, yes, but happy? Probably not. Looks stunted for 4 weeks. Small leaves. What kind of soil is it in? It looks chunky in the pic. I would transplant into a 1 gallon as stated. And with some quality soil, I mean at this rate get some Miracle gro soil. It would probably be happier there than in the dirt it's in now.
I use MG cactus palm citrus mix soil for my indoor, at least for veg, and they seem to love it. Huge fan leaves and nice thick stalks.

Did anyone else notice he's using a 30-10-10 fert twice a week? I'll bet he's only watering twice a week, too.
Can you tell us how often you water and what your climate is like? Are you growing in peat moss?

Anyway, my guess is with that amount of soil the medium dries out quickly. I am also worried about using ferts so often.

Is my plant ok
