Indeed I did water it. I am also thinking of ONE last transplant into a HUGE 20-24 inch ceramic planter. I want it to grow big. But someone said an 8 inch should be pleanty. any Suggestions?

how "big" are you talking?
how tall do you want the plant to be?
what size pot are U growing in now?

if its anything smaller than 5" I would say dont even waste your time going to 8" bcuz you'd be root bound in no time and have to transplant again.

I've seen ppl start off in a 1 gallon pot and transplant to a 5 Gallon pot, and finish in that with no problems, so I would think that your 20"-24" planter would be fine as long as the soil drains propely so that excess water runs off and allows oxygen to get to the roots.. Im sure you will be fine as long as there are holes in the bottom of the planter... remember 1 gallon for each foot of growth as a rule of thumb Blackthumb Plant Grand Inquisitor.

Good luck, and hopefully you will have a second opinion before you make a move..

It is curently in an eight inch that I cut the fancy curl off the top, drilled 3 extra drain holes and seperated the drain from the pot. So I would asume the I have about half a gallon of soil in the eight inch currently. I want to move to the 24 inch, It is ceramic, but it is a planter so it has holes 3 at the bottom and I add perlite to the soil about a 50 50 mix just wanted to know if I could just stay in the 8 or if I should even move to the 24 inch, Height is not an issue I could easily go to 6 foot tall and a couple feet wide if it will grow that big

well if ur currently in 8 inches then I would go for it, I mean you're a third of the size now anyways, it'll only help. I think your plants would definitely thank you for that extra "leg room"...

Last home Transplant.

Well I did the final transplant today, when I pulled her out of the pot , low and behold the entire bottom was root, so she went into a huge planter that I bought today at wally world. Hopefully she will be happy now and grow grow grow. Also after transplanting I added a gallon of ph'd RO water and reset up my lights to accomodate. SEE GROW ROOM

I added the 2 new 40 wat lights so now I have a surround



Also no water just a spritz misting on the leaves. I think the big POT is allowing for massive root growth, so I expect a hella strong bugger.

oh I dunno how I overlooked that last post..umm Im just using an all purpose fertilizer bcuz its cheap and high in P & K..most ppl probably would reccommend Big bloom or another type of fox farms flowering fert high in P & K...shop around, you have an idea of what you are looking for, your right around the corner from the finish line so i doubt you can make the whole grow go bad now...

but as far as you "not knowing if u'll return" keep in mind ur dealing with imperfect people who dont get paid to do this, they do it bcuz they like to, ya know? maybe if they go paid they would take their roles more seriously, but since they dont who can blame them? besides I know U cant go thru a day without getting ur daily fix of rollitup :-P so come on back and update this thing already would ya?

Well as usuall I screwed things up. Timers have a sunset function and of course mine got set to ON AT SUNSET so my first 2 days of 12/12 had more like 14/10 but that is rectified now and I guess I will put in a PIC or 2
this is after the first 24 hrs of 12/12 and sh*t did it start to grow. Adjusted lights up 2 times in as many days.

Keep in mind that it is in a 15 inch diameter planter. Last PIC is just 2 days earlier

Thats cool, the 14/10 could only help by acting as a step down :) your plants should adjust better for it.
