Oh hey pretty plants!

Since I've been unemployed for just over a week, I've finally had time to give my plants all the love and care that they deserve and to take some pictures

I transplanted these from 6L pots to 1 30L and 2 18L pots and one into a 47L pot. The smaller ones a good week ago, the one in the 47 has been in there for somewhere around 5 weeks. I don't remember stuff too good, then again I'm not 21 anymore Either way, the newly transplanted girls are already shooting roots out of the bottom of the pots, even the 30L. Should I have put them into bigger pots?

A friend of mine gave me some plants that he fucked over out of laziness. 5 seedlings were in one little plastic container with between 1 and 2L of soil. They'd been growing in there since mid April! Rootbound as fuck, one deficiency after another caused by PH shock, and one picture shows just how robust this wonderful wonderful plant is. They've been in their own pots for 2 weeks and the new growth is nice and healthy.

Last year I just grew a bunch of bagseed and my favorite girl gave me 3 seeds. Of those 3 seeds, the only female is now living in the 47L pot. This plant was definately an indica dominant hybrid. She turned really dark purple in September, wide, bushy leaves, and a euphoric body stone that reminds of the Kush I used to smoke when I was living in BC. Before I topped and transplanted her she was growing the same bushy leaves, but now that I've topped her she looks a lot more like a sativa. Why is this? That and one more question: I lollipopped her, am I doing it rite? By the way, I put the garden claw in there so you guys could get some idea of how big she is. The others are aroud 3 feet tall. The little fuckups are about a foot tall.

The last picture is my bagseed from last year before she went into her new home, for comparison.

I recommend trying out smart pots. They are worth their weight in dank I did a side by side comparison with same sized containers and haven't used plastic since.

I've heard lots of great things about them but I don't order things online and don't have anyone willing to order things for me. I figured drilling holes in the bottoms of the pots would be enough. The pots definately have good drainage and it really did amaze me just how fast these plants shot roots through the bottom of the pot though. The pictures don't totally do the roots justice, the 2 in 18s were already shooting roots into the ground in the holes I dug for them. Should I put a layer of rocks in the holes so the roots don't go into the native soil?

hell yeah man, those roots are very fast when they are happy I use plastic pots for many years with great success. Just don't let em get to hot. Happy growing.

Organic soil only from renewable sources, meaning no peat, composted cow poop, high nitrogen seebird poop, dolomite lime, ph between 6.5 and 6.8, and once a week I throw a worm or two into the soil. They get direct sunlight for about 10 hours a day and for the last 2 weeks it's been 25-30 degrees and sunny. I had to water them everyday, but I'm very happy with the results. I really think I should put a layer of rocks under the plants though, if not for the roots then to make flushing them easier when harvest time comes.
