no problem answering questions especially if your gonna take it seriously. i use to hate being on the other end, everyone talking shit cuz your pot dumb so to speak. they should appreciate your willingness to learn. better than half ass growing and talking like your Pablo Escobar. ive been doin this for almost 15yrs i i still fuck shit up from time to time. even tho i know what i did wrong hah, thats life. id much rather hang out in the noob section and help people than troll the advanced techs. if you can do something good, you should be able to explain it. now blast that lil lady with some photons and get growing!

deep has nothing to do with it

its about root mass . . and plants grow out and around

try it out

find a wide shallow bed to plant a single plant in, and use the same volume sized pot but traditional round deep . .im 100% positive the wider bed will yield more and be bigger

you put cube in the soil, minimal stress.

and yeah roots stop about after week five of flower i posted that earlier.

the deeper the taproot, the bigger the plant.

i would love to grow exotic sativa near a bat cave with strong sun. plant will probably be 6 to 10 ferry tall

definitely a viable test. i wanted to fill the entire bottom of my box with soil and keep it shallow. so lots of soil but not deep and people at grass city advised against it. i think their reasoning was that downward growing is more effective because it works with gravity. trying to get a cutting to root in soil at the moment.

I'll wait another day or two to allow my roots to strengthen. But they will be needing to touch soil soon as I am not feeding them any nutes at all.

I planted my 5 fem bubba og seeds directly into promix soil on Jan3. By Jan10 all 5 seeds were fully sprouted above soil. On Jan20 I transplanted the 5 sprouts into a 1.5gal container with foxfarm ocean forest soil. My young plants love the ff ocean forest and have been having a huge explosion of growth, its so great, they've been getting bigger every day. The only thing I'm going to add is the dude at the hydro store said the ocean forest is real strong and warm for young seedlings because of the nutes, so that's why I planted the seeds into the promix. He said once I planted seeds and germinated in the promix I should wait around 2 weeks to transplant into the ff ocean forest, so that's what I did. The 1st pic was 1 of my plants taken on Jan20. The second pic is same plant(the one on the right) taken on Feb 1st. The girls are lovin the ocean forest. Someone other than me could tell you if the ocean forest is too strong for your young sprouts because I'm not 100% sure. Check out my pics, you'll be at this point very soon. Good luck bro!

as they always say, "the proof is in the pudding." , I'll wait a bit longer before transfer. Thanks a ton for this.

I'm not telling you to wait or not to wait. I'm just wondering if the ocean forest could hurt your young sprouts because of the nutes it already has in. If it were me and I wanted to transplant now, I'd play it safe and transplant the sprout into promix soil then in 10 to 14 days from now transplant it into the ff ocean forest.

that guy did you right. ocean forest does tend to be hot for young fragile plants. never seen it to hot to kill anything tho so either way, just might stunt the little lady. looks like the first pic was starting to want more food, and the second kinda shows it. nice healthy even green leafs. if you had one tiny little tap root and planted it in the fox farm, id be willing to bet it would be way behind those second pics and probably yellowed out.

Ya for sure I had the sprouts in seedling containers for about 2 weeks. By the time I transplanted into the bigger container I could tell the girls were hungry and the day I transplanted was the day I got my pH dialed in. So with phd water, new medium, and lil root drench they just took off growing. I couldn't believe how fast they grew!

its not my fault people cant water properly! cannabis grows in the earth, which is a huge container. it gets water 2-3 times a week in its native environment, and it does great. if you can increase the wet/dry cycle by watering a little bit every day, you can get even faster growth.

nah but leave it in the cubes if thats what people do nowadays..

WHY ARE YOU STILL GIVING ADVICE?

DID YOU LEARN NOTHING FROM THE OTHER THREADS WHERE YOU GOT TROLLED TO SH!T FOR POSTING RETARDED ADVICE?


/facepalm, idiot kids.


DO NOT FULLY WATER YOUR PLANTS EVERY DAY. YOU WILL ROT THE ROOTS.

DO NOT LISTEN TO BMEAT. HE IS KNOWN TO BE CLUELESS.


/rant off.

I have personally found that some plants love it when you start in ocean forest and some will act you're growing with lava as the medium... all about knowing the strain you are growing with so there is gonna be a rough patch. I like to use ff light warrior to start them for two weeks then put them in ocean forest then it is about another week before I start nutes. Light warrior has myco in it as well to help with rooting and it seems like it has a little higher perlite content.

true..i am just bored a lot of the time.

i learn by arguing on here./QUOTE]

Might learn more by just listening. But I don't think you are capable of that.

Edited to note that you deleted this post on this thread. Even you knew how stupid it makes you look.

sounds awesome. id have a foot deep bucket if i could.

i always start in my biggest container now cause i hate waiting for the roots to unwrap themselves and start growing again like they do when you start in a 16 oz container and transplant. takes a day or two for them to reroute the roots, rather bypass that struggle.

Be easy on the meat ladies and gents i think he's turning a new leaf....glad you took my advice, listen alot more and argue less it'll take you a long way...unless their is solid evidence against said advice, then argue. Only reason i say argue less is cuz when you start arguing it tends to run away from the topic at hand, anyway good to hear you're listening, see you around

Any chance you might have a link to the root maps you have seen. Sounds interesting, I'd like to see it.

it'll take some digging but i'll look again, i think it was in a horticulture book from college, i know there's one for cannabis tho, maybe it was somethin Jorge taped? i use to watch his stuff all the time. if someone else finds it first please post. good to hear the hyro store guys actually trying to help. when i came up they just wanted to laugh at how dumb you were. "you dont know what EC is? okay buy this $500 nute kit".. or act like what ever brand of nutes there using is the best shit out. please tell me agian how our ancient ancestors used Advanced Nutrients.. i was actually fired from a grow store for not pushing all there extra BS. to bad they pissed off alot of loyal customers, and soon after had to shut there doors. i was torn up about it, kiss-assha!
