I like to let mine get a little rootbound before transplanting. When I do transplant, I don't water right away, unless the soil is bone dry. This encourages roots to grow in search of moisture in the new soil.
Thanks JSB good tips I always transplanted as soon as I see the roots come out the holes but I will definitely wait till is see plenty

trust your neighbors growing habits? maybe i'm just paranoid, but all clones that i don't make myself go into quarantine for at least a week till i can treat them for mites and other crawlies
Thanks for the heads up Roger it's still another week before my girls go in there so I'll keep a close eye.

Edit: I'll stop by the garden store and pick up some organic pesticide and give it a spray.

Transplant complete. I'll wait 4 hrs and water them before lights out tonight. I'm keeping the off hours from 12-6am bc I have to sleep in the room. I will put an air conditioner in if I have to these last couple of nights have been too warm in the room having trouble getting to sleep, they seem to be doing fine with the window open during the day.

I've heard that it's best to water them before lights out. I was following JSB's advice and not watering right away to give the roots a head start in expanding out. That was a few days ago tho bro it's all said and done now.

Whether or not it is good to water before lights out entirely depends on parameters of your particular growing environment.

Could you explain a little further?
If your Relative Humidity is really high at night then watering before lights out could lead to White Pwdery Mildew, or stem rot, or fungus gnat population explosions...for examples. If it is very dry when lights are on, then watering while lights are running might help raise RH to more appropriate levels. Also; Vapor Pressure Differential, VPD. It makes a difference in the growth rate of your plants due to their changing ability to transpirate. Watering regime can have an impact on VPD, and therefore your plants’ abilities to grow.

I'm using promix all purpose nutrients for veg 20-8-8. Half a scoop (1 tablespoon) per 5 liters of water every other watering, fed them on Thursday morning. I'll go full strength, half strength and just water after the first two feedings. I'm using distilled water right now but will go to natural spring water after the next watering.

You will want to cut back on nitrogen during flower. Don’t give it a bunch of excess phosphorus, like fertilizer companies to push on their cannabis products. Just cut back the ratio of nitrogen and keep ppms 600-800 or so, depending how they respond. 4-8-8 is a better ratio in flower than 20-8-8.

You may need another product to make it happen, but with that ratio I think you will get “The Claw” really easily during flower.

Ok I was wondering why bat guano was so popular even though it's only like 0-4-4 maybe I jumped the gun a bit to soon, this is what I bought for flower it's 12-28-12 is this too much for cannabis?
