You need to get that little guy into a bigger pot and then watch it explode and start to make bud sites if you got a bucket or old flower pot thats like 2 or 3 gal throw it in there them roots need some room but im glad you stuck it out

Looks a little shocked, did you change its light schedule i see you brought it inside, it started to flower so if you didnt keep the light schedule 12 off 12 on the its going to revert back to veg and when you do that it grows weird and crazy in a good way but i think its root bound as well so if your not going to put it in a bigger pot id try again she would live a crappy life in that cup lol

I did a transplant a couple days ago,put her in a small flower pot ,she still hasn't fully recovered whenever I had her outside I saw the white pisils coming out the top that don't mean flowering ?? Also if I smell her she smells like decent bud how is that possible lol do I have to 12 12 her she's on a 24/0 light cycle rn

I'm going to try and finish this one I've got another germinated still in the water ,at the moment .this is my first grow guys she was in a butter bowl in one of those little starter clay pots know what I'm talking about I didn't know it would be root bound ,I figured since it had a drainage hole and the tap root came through the whole root system would of been okay she was like that for two months smh now I know

A couple of three things that might help you going forward.

Those clay pots are moisture suckers. You can get 3 gallon plastic pots free at most nurseries. Ask to buy a couple and most of the time they will give them to you. Buy some peat moss. cow manure compost, perlite, vermiculite and half way decent potting soil to fill the pots. {Manure composts are the best shit to grow in, and if you have a neighbor that farms, can be free.} The black plastic pots do get hot outdoors, so it is a good idea to sink them to ground level. That helps with water retention too.

When you veg plants on 24/0 light cycle, you have to gradually bring it down to natural hours or it can early flower on you. One hour of change a week is what most folks do. {Also you need to harden the plants off when coming from light to sunshine. That is to start them off in the shade for a few days so they don't get sunburned. This is unrelated to the flower trigger, it's just one of the things you have to do} That said, it is never a good idea to veg at 24/0. Give it at least a couple of hours of sleep time to get rid of toxins and what not. Most use 18/6 in veg unless they are working with semiautomatics, which do require more, but that is another story.

Every time the roots touch the sides of a cup, they slow down their growth. {those bad white rappers, Mendo Dope said something like, "you never want the plant to know it's in a pot." meaning you want to put it in a bigger pot as soon as the roots reach the sides} The size of the rootball controls the size of the plant, so you want as rapid root growth as possible. What I do is start in something like Solo cups, then transplant into gallons, and from there into 3 gallons. If you were doing a long veg for a full season plant, you would need to go into the ground or a bigger pot. These late season plants are going to be small so a 3 gallon will do it to the end if the soil is good.


Good luck

I forgot to mention that 12/12 for flower is a indoor thing. The length of day gets a little shorter {and the nights get a little longer} everyday until Dec 22. The length of darkness is what triggers the flower. Strains vary, so it could be as early as late July or as late as late August. Anything put out this late will flower as soon as it's sexually mature, at 4-6 weeks. But with good soil, lots of sun and water, it can still make you an oz per.

Well Larry I agree with everything you said except vegging 24/0 is unhealthy. This is a big debate in cannabis growing. I always veg 24/0 and have never had a problem. In fact I find that it gives faster growth and makes the lady grow more wider that taller. But I guess to each his own.

I'm outdoors from germination to chop, so no experience. But I have heard an hour of dark will make for healthier plants. But if it works for you. . . . .

Back in the day I had a buddy that kept his under 24/0 for one week, then put them out. They were wider than the ones with sunlight.
