Ok so they dont really look that bad, ive got two plants that have their first fan leaves wilting really strange looking and I think they are almost ready to transplant... ive got them in 6 inch 1.5qt pots. I also started LST'ing them today, what do you guys think?? All the new growth is green, no yellowing, just the bottom leaves are kinda sick on two of the plants.. the third pic is a picture of the best looking one, and the pictures after that show a lil of the LST im doing.

Also when can I start feeding 1/4 strength fox farm grow big once a week?? Some of the plants seed leaves have yellowed and peeled off.

By the way when you do finally transplant, do you take the whole plant w/ soil out of the pot, then mash the soil lightly so that just the roots remain hanging from the plant and then stick them in new soil? or do you try to keep the soil ball of roots intact as much as possible and place it in a hole in the new pot your putting it in??

Thanks! :joint::peace:

keep the roots intact as possible,personally ur plant looks fine and healthy. some leaves are goin to naturally die off,dont worry bout it so much.

Thanks ill keep the distance so they can breathe in mind. I am using CFL's and they are far enough away that the temperature at the tops of the plants is not exceeding 83 or so degrees.. its usually around its favorite 78 degree point.

yes you want to keep it all it should be easy.

ok wait till the roote are starting to coil at the bottom water then put your first 2 fingers on eather side of the plant. tip it over tap on the bottom. it should slide right out. then you have your plant with your roote up plant down now if you have wated for the roots to coil at the botton. you take sissors and make 2 small cuts in the roots on eather side this will make the roots grow quicker.


i cant tell you what your brown spots are as i dont know what your light fan nuts

I believe they were rootbound... b/c when i transplanted them it was one nice solid piece with roots wrapped around it everywhere.. quite nice to see actually... the one in the ceramic pot I manhandled sooo bad.. I tore the crap out of the rootmass... it hasnt shown any shock what-so-ever yet tho... strange.. how long does shock take to show?? b/c its been almost 24hrs since the transplant.. (22hrs)
