do anyone got the time to help a new grower out?

Not at all, repotting is no problem if you do it right, I usually don't see much or any shock at all. If they do get shocked it's not much of a delay, a couple days on average and it's just a bit of a pause really, they don't die. What's more important is that, you won't end up wishing you had down the road due to salt or nutrient buildup, I've done it myself with MG soil in the past, frustrating. I now use moist professional potting mix and don't even bother watering after since the level is perfect out of the bag.

dunno if i would bother transplanting and i might skip the fert next watering.............some bread ties and a piece of tape bend the tall one right over

Yes they just got transplated from smaler pots 5 days ago. the large one was quite root bound. So dont think i need to transplant them again for a while.(?)
As for the fertiliser they wont get anymore fore a week ore so. But the thing whit tape i dident understand?

They're talking about lst, training it to bend back down on itself basically. The reason I said repot is you're using pre-fertilized soil, but if it only has say 2 weeks of nutrients in it that's not so bad. If it's time released for months, you're bound to see problems eventually, but when and what depend on the soil like I said, and your fertilizer's NPK that you give it.

Ok I understand i will check that to see how its released.
So if its month bound i am basicly screwd if i dont get some new soil?

its all what u want to do ........what your plan is............i dont like time release crap either ...........

I was planing on keeping up whit regular feedings every 3 to 4th of every watering will contain nuts.
But as the noob i`am i have NOT checkt my soil to see if its time released...

It depends on how much it has and how much you're feeding it really, I mean if you use a 10-51-10 bloom booster by mistake because you lost the damn box the bag came in as I did once, you'll end up with great growth out of time release for a while, but once you add weak doses of the fertilizer you'll end up with way too much P and things will start locking out and going yellow around the edges on you, then repotting isn't really an option at that point. Oh I saved them, but it pissed me off something awful

need to figure out that soil if it is the time release npk

After hearing this I think i'll try 18/6 next time around and see how my babes do. I love this forum because even when i may be wrong i learn a shit ton. Kudos all.

I see i got the bag that the soil came in just to be shure. (Glad i did.)
I will check this after a copule of houers sleep 06:30AM here.

I will check back later, hope you will to
And again thanks alote for your help its greatly aprichiated...

Do you know what brand your soil is, like MG potting or organic for example? Also, the numbers on your fertilizer are important, since a 7-7-7 used in moderation might not upset things all that much since it's equal parts, however something high in nitrogen might end up giving you too much N when combined with the time released nutrients. Find that stuff out, and don't worry too much atm since all you have to do is not fertilize until you know what's what, you have time and plenty of new information to think about too.

i think they grow better w the eighteen six but i got mine on 24 not sure y

Hey guys i have checkt my soil its a 11-5-18 mix organic. (whit some moss, sand and some other stuff i dont know the english names for.)
Also i cant find anything that says anything about time release nuts.
So what you guys think? Keep givimg em a bit extra from time to time?
My pH is stable on 6,9 even tho the soil comes whit a value of 6.2 everytime i started whit soil out of the bag they have goten a 1\4 of a nute grow mix.
Also lowerd my light to 40cm. (Will watch closly for any burning\ heat damage, stress.)

That sounds like a good strategy to me, though I'd lay off any nutrients for a week or two minimum, since you just repotted and they'll need to use up the fertilizer that the soil has in it to begin with. Depending on what your grow fertilizer mix has for NPK values, and whether your soil has time released nutrients or not, you may never see any problems, though I'd keep a closer eye on the one that was rootbound.

After a week or two, fertilize as you normally would with 1/4 strength nutes on like every 3rd watering and keep an eye on them, if you notice any abnormal discoloring or they turn unusually dark green, that's when you'll want to figure out whether to fertilize less or switch soils or fertilizers. You can always repot again before you switch them to flowering, if you need to.

If you ever do notice any scorching from the light, you can always top your plants if you feel it's bad enough, so no worries.

Happy growing
