NWED HELP!! bottom branches dieing

I'm growing outside plants r in 2 weeks of flowering I'm using happy frog an ocean forest dirt in 35 g pots. plants r 7ft an 6ft wide. for some reason some of my bottom branches r dieing off an dnt know y. I'm feeding with maxi bloom every 2-3 days with 5 gallons of water. an plan water when not feeding. I water everyday. I've lost 6 branches in 3 weeks that could be pounds of bud. could itbe from not getting enough sun or from being root bound?

Watering every day? Your roots need some oxygen...just water when needed, not automatically...g/l

I have to water everyday the leaves start wilting if not.. I think I found out y. my local grow shop said it could ne a lil birdox worm just gotta find it

If you have to water daily to keep from wilting, I'd say you are root bound. Either that or your water is just running straight outta the pot, and not saturating the soil.

You must be overwatering, have bugs, or some animal might be chewing them off... also possible the stems aren't strong enough and need to be staked for that specific strain.. my plants are 5 feet tall and 5 feet around and they only get 1 gallon every 4-6 days

I'm sure they r root bound but I'm in flowering an dnt wanna steers it out by transplanting. I have them in 35 gallon tots u buy at Walmart. bigger pot I could find for 7$. I'd say I'm getting a 25% run off which 10% would be a lot better. I hope they make it another month an a half to harvest. I cut the dead branches out an split open looking for worm. no worm so I guess its back to square one.

I forgot to say some of my lower leaves r yellowing like it lacking n.. this is my first time growing Swiss cheese an og kush outdoors. I need to stake my branches b4 they get huge buds any tips

You don`t have to remove the plants to replant, shred the sides with a razor up and down a lot, all they way around and bury the whole thing. Not sure it will help much at this stage of grow but if it does, it`s a plus !i

^this^ and if possible, cut the bottom off. Check the bottom first tho to make sure they are not tethered to the ground. Might be best to leave them if they are.

Ive had to transplant during flower before.... They can usually handle it, depending on how far along they are.. the farther along, the more stressed they will be, and the longer it will take them to recover.

I kinda had the same issue with transplanting during flower and I jus rolled my pot on its side cut the bottom out of it leaving like a half inch for a little support and the I turned the dirt where I was placing it and I jus sad it right on too of the dirt! It's doing great now don't even think it stressed and I cut up all the roots on the bottom on accident then I crushed the roots as well before placing it on the dirt. And now I don't think I could even rip it away!

I dnt have roots coming outa my pot into ground so I thunk I can cut bottom out an stick in ground I just dnt ono how deep to put it maybe 6 inches of it?? and I'm outta soil to put in ground an no $ so they would have to be in sand if I do cut bottoms just dnt know of I should put in sand. I tryed taking a pic for u guys but it wont let me post with my phone. I transplanted 5 outta the 8 from 5 gallon pots to 35 gallon tots. an the other 3 I started right into the 35 gallon tots if that help u guts any.

flowering started first week of August an usually harvest is in October for Michigan sometimes early November. so I think I might be safe to replant

Honestly I wouldn even worry about burning it if your cutting the bottom I didn't even burry mine I jus tossed the dirt made it soft so it wasn't all compressed and then sat it right over top of it watered and left alone oh I put a little piece of chicken wire jus for safe measures gophers! I think you should be ok with jus cutting the bottom flipping it back over and then forget about it. You prolly don't even need to turn the dirt I jus did figured it would be easier for roots to break through

You cab substitute soil conditions in the sand hole first. Go around and pull up a bunch of weeds in your area, cut the stems off and save the roots. Using scissors, cut up the roots to shredded pieces and mix the whole thing up with a lot of potash from a fire pit. Don`t worry about a little sand in the mix. It sounds like a lot of work but it`s really not. I do it for clay or sand myself !i

OK thanks a lot urhigness an oddball. I really appreciate the help an tips. I posted avideo of them.on utube couple days ago if u would like to see them. type in Swiss cheese grown outdoors

OK, Change of plans. You`re gonna need a pick axe and long handle spade and 20 bags of soil to ground those girls at this point. I really think it`s too late in the season to do this with them. If money for soil is the issue, and the risk of long shock present, you may be better off leaving them alone and let them finish as is with lesson learned to transplant next time sooner. They are going to change into bloom and veg. growth will slow. Blooming nutes and careful application is the norm now. They are healthy and you did a great job with the grow, don`t mind those yellowing on the bottom, leave them alone and sure up the pots so they don`t tip over with piles of sand or big stones. They will change weight distribution during peak flowering and wind is your enemy. Did I mention you did an excellent job with the grow !i

If I watched the correct video where you put the yellow lighter next to one, you have security issues as well. You are gonna smell those girls a half mile in all directions. Seasoned rippers will watch and wait.

yes oddball it was the one with te yellow lighter I'm glad u found it.. thank u much on my growing I try my best for the best. I'm gonna have to do that sand or rocks to hold em up. I'm almost thinking ur right to just let em grow an learn for next yr. I know ppl r gonna smell them I'm thinking of pitching a tent out there an sleeping with em am move my 2 dogs over there as well to alarm me.. I do have 2 deer cams but a mask an ill never know wh im counting on the crop for my mo that's y I was gonna sleep out there

I'm hoping a lb a plant an that will last all yr plus some. next yr I'm gonna have a fully security set up with cameras an some trigger sencers to alert me
