so this plant is about 7 weeks into flowering..

i know the buds are kindof small but it went threw sum hard times to say the least...guess thts why there so small

so is there anything tht could be done to help her faten up a lil and about how much longer should she be flowering for i cant tell what straind she is
im guessing u could tell from the hairs theres only a few red/brown ones

and if the roots are coming outta the drain holes at the bottom should it be transplanted or just left to finish out.??????????

any feedback would be helpful....

Can't tell what strain.

You've got between 1 and 3 weeks of flowering to go. You can harvest when 75% of the hairs are red/brown.

Probably don't need to worry about the roots since you're so close to harvest.

ok growspec thanks for the reply..
so should just go by the hairs and wait till 75% have turned red/brown

I know some people use molasses and there's a thread somewhere around here where a guy used apple juice. I'm on my first plant myself and am not yet budding, so I'm not for sure what to tell you, other than check out those 2 options.

The molasses is supposed to fatten up the buds.

ya well good casue i just started useing it like last week and they have gotten a lil better but i was wonder how much molasses to use i currently used 1 tablespoon per gallon and is it safe to use it with my nutes....she was getting 1/4 nutes so i think ima bump it up to 1/2 or should i go to a full tablespoon per gallon...

does anyone think tht just giving her molasses instead of nutes for the last 3 weeks will help out or does she still want the 10-60-10 nutes?????

I've read where people use 1/4 tablespoon per gallon on the molasses. (there are 3 teaspoon's to a tablespoon)

Not sure about the nutes.

Anyone?

It looks to me like you need more time 3weeks or more. If you are thinking of doing 3+weeks before harvest the last 2 weeks should be a flush of just water with molassis or apple juice. Its the sugar and carbs that help ripen and fatten the buds. So if you go AJ make sure its organic or atleast made from 100% AJ and not something that starts the ingredients with high fructose corn syrup, you get the idea.

For the week or weeks if you go another 4 weeks before that watering with nuts with high phosphuros and potassium is what the plant needs as im sure you know. I have herd of peeps who stop all nitrogen adding toward the end of flowering, wether this really changes anything i dont know. Ive herd that the less nitrogen the quicker the plant ripens.(Could be the plant thinks its done for and tries to get its seeds out, but you stoped her from having seeds :)

As others have said going by the red/colored hairs is a good way to go or you can get a 30x-100x magnifing glass and go by the trichromes. I would wait till something like 60% amber trics or so myself for the couchlock high effect but ive herd the earlier or less amber theirs different highes you can get. theirs a chart in these forums somewhere sorry dont remember where.

Im workin on some Mango right now and I am gonna add in 1 table spoon molassis during my flower peroid then cut off and do an Apple juice or Cranberry juice and water flush the last 2 weeks.

Ive herd up to 1 tablespoon per gallon of molassis. (or 1 teaspoon cant remember?)
