I need help!! Dont know how to top, fertilize, and what stage is my plant

[greenivy]

Wow that sucks but yeah could have been cats, dogs or many other animals which have THC receptors you shouldn't be afraid of potting up its really not complex what i do is fill new pot with soil at bottom and place old pot inside until its level with the top then tapping bottom of old pot lightly holding stem just remove plant from pot place in new soil, fill round the edges and give a good watering. Voila!

The slow release is just intense chemical fertilisers great for things like rhododendrons or azaleas but not the food of choice for cannabis which requires nutrient specific to flowering (more N during growth and PK flowering)

It really depends how big you want to veg the plant before flowering. I personally would put it in the 5 gal. If the plant becomes rootbound then it will reduce your yield.

1) Get it in a 5 gallon pot with organic compost and do not feed for at least another 6 weeks, this should hopefully use all the crappy time release capsules in the soil

2) Put the plant in an elevated sunny spot away from predators

3) Have patience and do not force flowering, if you leave her to develop naturally it will be worth the wait. From a large outdoor plant it is possible to get a pound and upwards. This is the differnce of having a couple of months smoke or a couple of years

Good Luck and happy growing

SO i repotted today in a 5 gal (old paint jug, the big white one) I put about 10 drain holes and ran water in the bucket to make sure it would drain but I am afraid it wont drain correctly with the dirt in. I had to use hedge clippers to punch the holes and it made like slits instead. I tried twisting the clippers around to make them more circular, do you think it will drain correctly or cshall I make round holes? If I do decide to make the round holes, how can I now that I have already potted it? Also I used Top Soil(it all I could get) is that a good brand? I think its organic fron what I read on the label Please asvise, I will submit photos later tonite.

yes it was at nite. also I just re-potted today and I dont like how the soil look. I didnt see any drainage out of the bottom. I put holes in the bottom(more like slits) and I am afraid it wont drain correctly. I cantake pics tonite its too dart now and I have no flash on my cell phone camera but i will in the am. I may not have put enuff water in after I repotted but it was holding at the top so I was afraid I was drowning it lol but im sure I didnt put enuff to even reach the bottom for it to drain. I just transfered it from a
/ gal pot to a gal old paint bucket so I made the holes you know. I am so afraid now........

Yes I can, SO should I water it untilI see it draining?

yes
do u have a power drill? or borrow one?

 

[greenivy]

yes

No, I can try to get one, is that what I need to make sufficient holes? and do they need to be on the side as well as the bottom?

 

[F A B]

yes best to do before roots grow down to bottom
have someone hold it up while u drill with biggest bit u got but no bigger then half inch
if no one to help place on a table and let part of bucket hang off edge while holding with one hand while u drill then do other part
and drill on bottom edge the slits u made may clog

I also used TopSoil potting mix ( think potting my dad uses it for his garden) and the water sits on top of the soil for a while before it goes down!! Still no drainage.....

thats cuz top soil has no perlite to help with drainage
go to garden store and buy a bag for few bucks then add some to mix about 2-3 cups

omg thank you so much...will i have to move the plant back out of the pot to mix the perlite in the soil? How long to wait to do this, can I do it rite away tomorrow? is it ok to re-plant it twice, will it die?
