Do I need larger pots?

[DutchLady27]

Hello all and thank you for helping me on my last question now i have a new one do you think i need larger pots i just put them in these but in just a few days they got alot bigger the plants look yellow but i think its from the flash they are really green and seem happy to me but if anyone has any suggestions im very open since this is my first grow

those should be fine for that nice indica strain you got there.

 

[DutchLady27]

Thanks i had no idea what kind it was just some bag seed

 

[squishdoggydog]

yeah, that's a fat indica. It looks like it's probably 100% indica. My pots are about that size and my plants are about 3 feet tall and they seem to be doing fine. I've thought about transplanting, but they're flowering good and I don't want to shock them again.

What kind of light are you using?

That depends on how long you intend to veg them before you trigger the flower cycle. Usuall I have 3 different sizes I use. I use a small peat pot for cloning into. Then I use a pot about the size you have there for vegetative growth. Finally, a couple weeks before I am going to trigger them to flower, I put them in a 3 gallon pot that they will live in until harvest. By using the correct sized pot you allow the root mass to grow uniformly instead of spreading out runners in a pot that is really too large or too small at the time. I hope that helps. The plant looks very healthy.

Im just using cfls in a few weeks i will be getting a mh

I was told once that the rim of the pot should be no smaller than half the diameter of the plant at it's widest point. I really have no evidence to back that up, though.

 

[squishdoggydog]

yeah, you'll be fine. After it snaps back up, cut off any yellow leaves at the bottom that didn't make it.

they look over watered. the lower leaves are curling under.
they could use a bump of nitrogen.

it could be the flash like you said. they just looked slightly pale. not bad at all. what are the #'s on the package of fertilizer?

your plants do look really good otherwise.

that will work for flowering. for vegging you want something with the first # highest.

no one???
gulp...
just dident want to overstress the babys.. as I said still in veg....
and thats a LOT of root ball...

i do like this .........


then just drop it in the hole and bury it. it's the one on the left .......

 

[fdd2blk]

thats outside.... I am kind of stuck not being able to do that here...
so I was not sure if I should loosent the dirt ball in a wash tub with spring water and let the roots come loose.... or what as well they are well TOP heavy...
so don't want them to list over to much in da kegs.. really want to make this look
nice to say thanks to the fellers that helped me. and show them there time with me was not wasted

can't you just do the same thing in the big pot? it's the same thing. disturb the roots as little as possible. i rake mine open just a little but try my best not to damage them.
