Done and dusted mate, good job ;)

I still need to sort summin out for my clone, she's blocking a lot of light...
It's a pain for this grow, but any more that go in the flower cab from here on will be in the new square pots. So my canopy should level out as plants get replaced. Theoretically... lol

yeah not much has worked to plan for me ... but i love the square pots ... id be stuck with 2 plants or smaller pots otherwise ... a great investment

hoss has mentioned endlessly about 5 gal (US lightweight measures) smartpot/ airpot thinggies .... and raves on about how much more yeild he's been acheiving with them compaired to plastic pots, .... i don't know though they kinda look like some sort of really tacky S&M swimming aids lol

(check out Hoss's autos man .... they give me the horn!)

ok ... well nothing really to report... no change with plants 1,2 and 3.. other then they seem to be sending out loads of new white pistils from exsisting buds which have been turning mostly ginger/brown (more brown than ginger with these plants), i am hoping to see the trichs on these 3 turn from mostly all milky/cloudy to amber real soon as i have 2 more GOM needing a move into 3 gal pots in the next few days... and i just dont have the space...

cumbers has already stated that i could harvest these 3 right now... but i started this over 8 weeks ago and i promised myself then i wouldn't rush the last stage of flowering as i was bitterly dissappointed with my outdoor greenhouse grow (my first ever grow) for that reason and i really want this crop to be head and shoulders above the last one

yeah it does feel longer than it actually has been.... think thats because its my first indoor grow and i'm studying every mm of growth and every little change... a couple of rounds down the line i may well become a little more blase ... but i hope not :-)

ok i have an error to admit... every morning i go out early and check the girls, first thing i do is turn off the intake and exhaust fans so the temps don't drop through the floor while i have the doors open for the 2-3 minutes it takes to scan the plants for change.....

this morning i neglected to switch them back on before i went for my breakfast and left for work ... i fortunatly got rained off this morning and returned 2 hours later to find the cabinet was running at 110F ... the shed f**king stunk of weed... but the plants don't seem to be too pissed about it

lucky for me

Round 2 update

repotted GOM #5 into a 2 1/2ltr pot, didnt want to move them more then once. but as before i decided to move it when the tips of the lower leaves reached beyond the edge of the the 3" starter pot... and as before roots were clearly visable all around the sides and had reached the bottom nicely... was super careful with the repotting, didnt disturb even a single grain of dirt :-)
# 4 should have been done aswell ... but i only had one pot to hand and my OCD wont let me use an odd orange pot when all the rest are black ... so i will have to buy another black one of the same size.

GO ON MAN! Germy Germy Germy!!
You only got 20 days left till harvest, so you may as well get 15 days worth of vegging done before

So okay, I should take at least 5% responsibility. Although, I didn't tie anyone up and throw them in my car boot (Not recently anyway). So I stand firm :P hehe
I'm sure I was right anyway...
