Here in Hawaii, genes are only half of it, I feel the rest lies in the mana thaT this so wonderful aina provides, with a little professional knowledge on the side. Scored an 8 of kona homegrown for 40. Now it's relaxation time with the wife and kids. Monday marks our two year anniversary. Shes the best. Hope my babies are okay at home. Shoots, alohahawaiians.

Harvested one this morning, got others bout a week into flower.
About one week into flower, transplanted them into 10 gal smartpots this weekend. 2 months old and they were getting root bound in the 5 gal plastic pots. Hopefully they will put on some weight in their new home. Gonna try to finish them organicly, using happy frog nutes mixed into the soil.

sup 808HI! smart pots are the shiznit bro... The are made of fabric (melted sand spun into fine strands, kinda like cotton candy is made with sugar). They work by air pruning root tips as they come into contact with the pot. This encourages continual root growth and allows for better nutrient uptake. Because the pot is made of a breathable material, it also supplies the roots with an abundance of oxygen. Traditionally, root balls will form in pots making roots compete for space and nutrients. This is why normally a bigger pot will give you a bigger plant. By pruning roots, smart pots eliminate this problem, allowing you continual root growth and growing you bigger plants using smaller pots.
The only draw back to using smart pots is that if you grow in soil, you will be watering more often due to the soil drying out quicker (breathable pots). Other than that is works amazing with soil or hydro.
Most hydro/gardening specific stores stock them btw. I havent seen them at home depot, walmart, or lowes yet tho. Might wanna stick to dedicated gardening/hydro supply stores for now.

Smart Pots work great. I used them when I was on the Big Island and I really liked them. Ace Hardware and True Value usually carry them also nowadays. You can also use reusable shopping bags as a cheap alternative (though they aren't as heavy duty and won't last as long I'd guess) http://www.globalbuckets.org/p/grow-bags.html
Or you can make your own. Here's another link of a member here that did a side-by-side experiment with different homemade air pots and manufactured air pots: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/303229-diy-air-pruning-pot-experiment.html
I sewed together a bunch from ground cover cloth and though they only cost pennies per piece it took like an hour for each bag to do it right. For simplicity's sake, I'd just buy them; they're not that expensive.

Purple stems and veins are tolerable up to a certain extent, heres a copy and paste from a sticky here
- Phosphorus is a component of certain enzymes and proteins, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), ribonucleic acids (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) and phytin. ATP is involved in various energy transfer reactions, and RNA and DNA are components of genetic information.
Phosphorus (P) deficiency
Figure 11 is severe phosphorus (P) deficiency during flowering. Fan leaves are dark green or red/purple, and may turn yellow. Leaves may curl under, go brown and die. Small-formed buds are another main symptom.
Phosphorus deficiencies exhibit slow growing, weak and stunted plants with dark green or purple pigmentation in older leaves and stems.
Some deficiency during flowering is normal, but too much shouldn't be tolerated. Red petioles and stems are a normal, genetic characteristic for many varieties, plus it can also be a co-symptom of N, K, and Mg-deficiencies, so red stems are not a foolproof sign of P-deficiency. Too much P can lead to iron deficiency.
Purpling: accumulation of anthocyanin pigments; causes an overall dark green color with a purple, red, or blue tint, and is the common sign of phosphate deficiency. Some plant species and varieties respond to phosphate deficiency by yellowing instead of purpling. Purpling is natural to some healthy ornamentals.
hey spiff, thanks for posting that up, I read it few months ago when I got the mother of these clones. She had purple stems and stalk her entire life. I fed that plant a lot, all of the clones have the same traits. I'm pretty convinced it's a trait not a deficiency. Either way it's growing good and making some nice prebud growth.
Again thanks for taking the time to post that up. If it is a dificiency what else could I do? I have been feeding them ff big grow until they started flower, then I gave a dose of tiger bloom. Then I transplanted them into 10 gal smart pots. I used sunshine mix 4 with dolomite and happy frog fruit and flower mixed in. I was planing on finishing them all organic. Do you think some top dressing with bat guano (the one high in phoshate, not nitrogen) or some type of meal will help?
I keep coming back to add. I have other strains here that are in the exact same soil and feeding schedule that have all green stalks and stems. Thats another reason I think it's just a pheno, trait, or whatever it's called.
