Well my new pots are full of hundreds of little holes all over them and all though i aint willing to reveal it yet and spoil my little journal story that might give you a good idea on what i am trying to achieve:blsmoke:
no idea man, well, I assume it's to allow more air to the roots, but I'm intrigued to see what you're up to mate. :mrgreen:

I just think it will be so much better than normal pots and not cost very much for soil growers.
As soon as they show pistils i will give all the details.
Air is the key:mrgreen:

Ok plants are telling me that they have outgrown their pots in a big way due to so many stems.
I have flooded and drained them and will repot them tomorrow.
This is why they look a bit droopy.

I will have to repot them into slightly larger pots until they show sex before i move the best 2 females into the large pots directly under the lamp then all the others will just get shoved around the area and hope for the best.
Best males will be boxed when their balls drop and i will save their pollen.

The 2 new large pots are slightly to large for my tray so i will also have to buy a new tray.

One of the pics shows how much they have grown from the little fimmed stumps into 5 new stems.:blsmoke:

I always transplant my plants.
I always let them fill the small pots with roots before i do it and i usually transplant twice during flowering but this is a pain in the ass and i wont be doing it anymore for the outside area plants.
I will only transplant these this one time now and hope for the best.

The 2 best females will get the best spots under the light as i have no room for anything else and they will essentially get three transplants even though they will only be in the next size pots for a week or 2 until they show sex.

Because i have fimmed them so much they are becoming root and pot bound so i have no choice.
Usually i only fimm them once or twice so its ok but with so much fimming and the fact that the pots they are in are the size of coffee cups its no good anymore.
I think having a tight root ball helps to get a tighter bud and a shorter fatter plant but it may be hearsay for all i know,but ive always done it.
If you think your plants are root or pot bound you should repot them:blsmoke:

ya I am not too sure... the 5 males that I there out I took a look at their roots.. there is a bit more room for them but I do see this being an issue prob within the next 2-3 weeks. Right now I am using 3 gallon buckets and I am thinking about the 5 gallon pails. Man I am just not too sure if I should re pot or not.. Take a look at my grow journal and let me know what u think if you don't mind.

I have mine in very small pots.
1 pint at the most pots:mrgreen:
Their next home will be 6" pots forever:mrgreen:
The 2 best females will get the bigger pots and even they are only about 1 gallon or so.:blsmoke:

Yeah i don't know if people have realized how small my plants are.
They are like bonsai weed plants but they may look big in a picture.
I don't let them get big until they show me sex:mrgreen:
Those indicaxsativa seeds i planted the other week are taller than the fimmed plants as they are only a single stem.
I will put a pic up later that shows how small they are.
As soon as i give them large pots they will shoot up:blsmoke:

yester day nat, when you said to flush, my bigger plants in flower.
i think the plants were curling, due to hot temps, ive lowered the plants today, and they seem better.
also just gave water with some super thrive.
that stuff is like magic.

hye nat how do u like to show sex....do iu take clonjes from ur pklants then do it or u 12/12 them or what?
Well i had tried to guess from taking hd macro shots of my plants leafs immature tric sites and trying to judge their density and tric counts to ascertain their sex but i haven't enough confidence in that method yet so i just showed them 24 hours of darkness and switched them to 12/12 till they show.
I grow many plants as i know that some of them will be males and some of them will be crappy.:blsmoke:
