Thanx shagz! she is a wonderful sight, i still can't believe i'm growing her in my backyard!!
I think i got her so big due to her early flowering which would of made a nice tight rootball with a mass of fine root hairs, and when daylight savings came in, she hit full veg mode, and during veg the roots grow fast but not thick, basically just tracer roots to hold ground, but during flowering is when they start to fill out and roots begin to fatten up and produce the fine root hairs that fill the pot. This is my guess anyway, i think she'd be pretty close to her limit in this pot, and showing absolutely NO signs of root bound, especially when i seen how perky she was in the sun today! I will have a good look when she's harvested, might surprise alot of us, she may only have filled half her pot..... but i doubt it.
Absolutely love how some of the colas in the centre of the plant are growing straight up vertical and look incredible, perfectly even structure, and about 10 nodes of bud sites on 1 cola!!!
Thinking over things more and more each day, i'm almost sure that the re-veg has given me a huuuuuuuge boost in growth, like she laid dormant until daylight savings, then WHOOOMMM!!! instant take off. she tripled in size in less than 3 weeks. Not normal. She most definitely outgrew my indoor in terms of size If i get 1.5 lb inside..... i'm freeeeeeakin.
No worries man
and yes i actually tested this theory with 6 clones a small time ago, the 3 untouched were 3-4 days behind in regaining strength, vigor and roots. I also tested Gel vs Quality powder. Gel wins hands down. 10 days vs 16. Some growers will say they are trimming the leaves to fit them in closer together, which makes sense and could be handy if short for room, but there really isn't a need for a large clone if you don't have to worry about time or inspections. I try to get atleast a 2-3 week headstart, cause we know how us erb lovers tend to 'relax' when we blaze away and forget that we have something to do!
I can't wait either
she is looking good, but slow......
