when you pot on add perlite and vacumate if you can. and add an inch or two of pebbles to help flush later, it really helps. if a plant is too small for a pot, the roots curl round the bottom of the pot, and try to come out of the bottom.

Ah yes, the vacumate. Plants sooo do love the vacumate!

lol vacumate.......... well it depends who you ask on here, some people say there is no such thing as root bound some say otherwise. personally i just transplanted from beer cups into bigger pots, but my babies were doing fine in the beer cups. some over a foot tall. but that pot looks like it should be big enough not to be root bound, how tall do you plan to grow it?

Personally I can't imagine your plant being any healthier looking; it looks flawless to me.

thanks every one but i think fdd2blk is right i gave it some nuts before i left and look at it now. I went to home depot and got some organic soil, bigger pot, perlite,and a wetting agent by schultz. the plant looks so much better amazing. By the way the soil is miracle grow organic choice i started with m/g potting mix that feeds for 3 months i had to flush 1 because of the slow releasing nitrogin was fucking it up when i was trying to give it other nutrients but it's better know. heres a pic of what i got left the schultz wetting agent in the car sorry

Good choice on the soil; I'm using MG OGC myself (with FF Happy Frog, dolomitic lime, bone meal, blood meal). What kind of nuts are you giving them? I use walnuts most of the time but sometime I give them a few almonds too. :-P:-P

I'm using AN 3 part nutes. I'm using Grow, Micro, Bloom, B-52, Stinkizyme (Sensizyme, LOL), Big Bud, Blood Blood, Carboload, Voodoo juice, Overdrive (haven't got to use it yet), Final Phase (just for final week or two), and Sweet Leaf (I always want to call it "Sweet Tooth" for some reason). I'm using AN Iguana Juice organics for my soil mix - very sparingly. I have to drive over 100 miles to the hydro store and I only have a few hundred bucks to spend each trip so I haven't been able to afford all of the AN stuff. I'd love to get the tea and humic/fulvic acids.

Those look a lot like my blueberry plants; I started flowing them last week. They are an average of 8.5"; 7" to 11".
