What to do with these plants in small container?

Hello I have a couple plants that are in small containers. I planned on moving them into a bigger container, but they started flowering so I've just kept them in the same container. Should I transplant them into a bigger pot or just leave them? I'm feeding them with monster bloom thats 0-50-30 and that's it. Should I add something that has some nitrogen in it to keep em green? I'm pretty new to growing and have only grown outdoor a few times in the past. Any tips and tricks to get the most out of these plants would be appreciated, thanks!
The first 2 pics is a "black sugar rose"
The last 2 is a "lost coast hashplant"

Pot that shit up dude you have plenty of time. Monster bloom WTF? Put a couple inches of best quality castings on top.

And that'll keep them fed?

If you put em in 3 gals with good fresh soil and castings I believe you'll be fine, The ultra high P and K approach is good for bottled nutrient company profits but not necessary for good buds. Plus, those little girls arent going to magically get all amazon. Their nutritional needs will be modest. environment is more important than magical nutrition products,

Even with an up pot I don't see you doing anything amazing this time around. IMHO I think that you are too late to up pot and get any great results. You may have a little better yield but you also run the risk of stalling her out while she acclimates to her new home.

agree with that.

Be careful with the roots and you might get them to bite. It at least gives a possibility of a handful of sweet nugs. But like ABM states you are working with a weak hand. Nothing amazing but maybe something worthwhile.

How many weeks flowering is the strain expected to take?

Looks like it's at the end of stretch and packing on flowers I am guessing 3 weeks in and has about 6-7 to go??? Just a guess.

I had a flowering plant in a too small pot recently. It was about 4 weeks into 10 weeks flowering. I cut the bottom out and laid it inside of a slightly bigger pot. Both pots were fabric. It worked out real well. But not as good as a generously sized pot to start with.

There's a grower on 420 who just keeps putting smaller pots inside of bigger pots with the bottoms cut out. He believes that it is better to not disturb the roots at all. He grows killer bud but he's been at it for a while. At the end of his grow he'll have a 4" pot stacked up on a 7 gal with a few diff sizes in between.

I think he's called Dr. Ziggy

I have a plant GG#4 to be exact that I have done that with. I have a 15 gal and a 3 on the surface of the 15. Roots are down into the 15 now and both plants are about even in growth.

I agree with you on that and believe the environment is much more important. The medium I was growing in was lacking and wasn't the best but was good at the time, again cause I was going to get new better soil to transplant them into. I introduced the bottled stuff to them because they were showing deficiencies and that's what I had and it seemed to work alright.

I understand and am not expecting to get a very big yield, but just trying to get the most from what I got. The black rose is suppose to be ready to harvest by late September and the hashplant, early to mid October.

And that's exactly why I wanted to ask, I don't want to put them into shock.

Maybe the best thing to do would be adding some castings and such to the top of the soil?


Aslo, what are your takes on autoflower plants outdoor for year round grow? I live in southern California and the weather is pretty warm year round.

Definitely top them off with some fresh soil or you could use EWC (worm castings). I have yet to grow an auto so I don't want to point you in the wrong direction with my guesses.

Pic? Interested to see those.

Sorry VGM8, zero experience w autos. Where I grow we get first frost about start of November.

I don't think that I have a newer pic but let me see what I can dig up.

Here you go. You can barely make out the 3 gallon in here on the right pot but as you can see there are 2 plants there.
This was 8-1-15


And this was on the 21st. It's the one in the back right.

Here is what it was up to this morning.

Oh nice man. Can you finish those outside?

Yes they will be finishing outdoors and I should be pulling everything in the middle of Oct. I try not to run long strains.

Thanks for your help guys. I'll probably end up cutting the bottom out, just to experiment a little. AngryBlackman those look great. I have a couple bigger plants one of them being my profile pic.
What you guys think?


This is growing in a 5 gallon bucket. It's an unknown strain that someone gave me. I'm pretty sure it's from some mexican shwag weed lol

Bagseed is the best to start with. You can fuck it up and not really stress about money spent on elite genetics. Your big one is looking great. You should have a nice yield from that one. I pulled 7 oz of my first plant in a 5 gallon bucket!

Thanks I was planning on making some concentrates out of it. And maybe keeping some flower to smoke on.
