Hey, i need some help and advice if anyone can give it to me.

my plants are root bound, i realized i had to small of pots and its been about a month and they are about 5 to 6inches tall, if i repot them will they still grow, even though it stunted its growth?

comments and suggestions will help alot.

for people that grow in IL, and know when flowering starts, do you think that they will get big enough in time? about 2 or 3ft tall?

Later today im going to put them in the ground but since it cost to much to buy 8 5gallon pots, will plastic garbage bags work? their are so many bugs in ground that ate my plant before, i wanted to use something that would seperate the soil that i bought with the soil already in the ground

also, if i buy spinosad, will it work to keep bugs from eating the leaves from my plant?

Yes, replant. If they are root bound then score the soil when you replant. for 5 gallon pots, I use 5 gallon painters/utility buckets. They are fairly cheap. If you are going in the ground you can just dig large holes, fill them with your soil mix, and plant, but you can also get planting bags from most gardening stores and hydro shops.

Dunno on the spinosad, sorry.

alright thanks, it doesnt matter how big the hole is, does it? and spinosad is also Monterey Garden Insect Spray. but if you have any other suggestions about a spray, it would be help full.

SPINOSAD is a great all purpose insecticide.

If the soil around your plant is constantly moist the spinosad will remain active for around 4weeks.

However when growing MJ you usually wait until it is dry before watering.

I would recommend keeping spinosad incase you get anything on your plant that you do not want.
And for a precautionary measure i would spray them down once a fortnight with some form of neem spray.

Spinosad to kill! Neem to Repel.

I use spinosad indoors once a fortnight as a precaution and on the week i dont spray with SPINOSAD i use neem repel.

Cold pressed neem oil is the best and you can find recipes for mixing on RIU.

Einstein oil is also very good.

Neem has a natural repelent and will also kill a wide variety of pests as it is systemic it will also be absorbed by your plant and make your leaves taste bad to foliage pests.

Just search your local hydro store or google for NEEM REPEL or EINSTEIN OIL or COLD PRESSED NEEM OIL. You can usually get neem oil from alternative medicine shops or health shops.

Hope this helped..
