Damn pretty plant man. Just jumped in the thread. I started my ladies outdoor in early March, ended up being too early because they started to show some pistils about a month ago. You really want this to stay in a veg state until the length of the day starts to decrease, for me that in August/ Sep. Everyone told me to put them inside and finish off their flowering stage but F that. I just pinched those off and fed them with some nitrogen, now that the days are longer the few that were in flowering, reverted back to veg. She should be huge by the end of your season!

Put mine out in march maybe a few days after. Mine showed signs of being a girl I think few weeks ago. Hopefully they will continue to veg till august. People told me to put mine inside to but I don't see any sense in that if there verging outside and won't flower till august or later? How's ur plants doing

for sure, her leaves look nice and perky. let her dry out pretty well, she should perk up even more. i noticed sometimes superthrive can give them that vigorous look too.

looks good the next thing you could do is start tying branches down spreading the plant out letting more light get through to encourage more growth

i try to help as much as i can, i had to wait years before i found out about the hole trick. its all pretty simple, earth worms do the same thing and it helps aerate roots and make new root endings.

Yeah for sure the more light the better!, I read some where that even if you 'shock' them with some midnight light 20min or so then it has no choice but to revert! My plants seem to be growing pretty well right now, no signs of additional pistils which is good. check out my pics

Hey that looks like two good things, the roots coming out of the bottom is ok, shows you have healthy roots, you can transplant her if you want into a bigger pot. and is that a worm? Their beneficial if it is

Yeah that's a great size pot, ^^ def drainage. The blue will stay cooler than a black one too. Yeah your using fox farm right? I know that shit is expensive but bullet proof! I cant tell if that pot is terra cotta or plastic, If its plastic I have a trick to transplanting to eliminate transplant shock completely! Just cut the bottom out, set it in a pre dug hole and pull the sides out!. If its terra, just be careful transplanting to not disturb the roots as much as possible, not a huge deal if it falls apart a little, but the less those roots move, the less time they spend figuring it out.

No fox farm. It's m-g potting mix that I already had.

id wait till she fills out her pot, those are some good root endings though she should be ready to transplant soon. that bucket would be perfect, you can add holes on the side for aeration too. i stuff most of my holes with perlite so the roots can still grow through but they can breathe.

oh and a layer or two of perlite is great for drainage, the bottom inch of all my pots are large pieces of perlite. you can add more layers above as well, ive seen 100% perlite grows but those are better to run with a drip system.
