Maybe flowering nutes would help, also check to make sure it's not root bound. That is one of the biggest reasons for growth to stop.... good luck

looks perfectly normal to me!

what kind of cfl do ya got on the lower plant.

the buds will fatten up b4 you know it.

just wait looks fine for 3 weeks

thanks i see some of the other peeps grow journals and i get kinda intimidated. as for the cfl all i know is that its 26w i got it at target soo....yea

one more pic of the top

Repotting:

1. Choose new pot size. I recommend no less than 5-gallon pots for any grow, unless you are growing dwarf strains.
2. Allow the soil in the old pot to dry out.
3. Partially fill new pot with quality soil so when the plant is placed in the new pot the surface of the soil/top of rootball will be at its normal level.
4. Pick up potted plant by the pot with left hand (that is if you are right handed, if not reverse your hands). Place right hand on top of the soil with the main stem of the plant between your first and middle fingers.
5. Upend pot and gently tap the edge of the pot on a counter top or workbench or something similar. The entire rootball should easily slide out in one piece with no damage to the roots or much if any loss of soil. The plant/rootball will be securely held in your right hand.
6. If the rootball is root-bound slightly score/cut the sides and the bottom of the rootball.
7. Insert plant/rootball into new pot.
8. Fill around the edges of the rootball. If needed first remove the rootball and add more soil to achieve the correct surface level and then fill in around the edges of the rootball.
9. Water thoroughly. (using something like SuperThrive, as per instructions on the bottle will reduce or eliminate any possible shocking from transplanting).

　
In the future I would strongly recommend using the largest pot size possible, hopefully no smaller than 5-gallon pots, anything over 7-gallons is a case of overkill unless you are growing outdoors and the strain is known to be a very tall bushy strain. Start your seedling in them and then leave them in the pots for the entire life of the plants.

If you use a high quality soil that will retain adequate moisture I would also advocate germing your beans right in your soil/pots. Doing so eliminates any risk of damage to the new root when transferring it to the soil and also eliminates the chance of there either being an air pocket left around the newly planted root resulting in the root drying out and the germed bean dying and also it greatly reduces the chances of the soil being packed to tightly around a newly germed bean. Germing directly in the soil also does normally produce more vigorous growth.

The best of luck!

thanks for the info brick top my pot is no where near five gallons but i didnt think it needed to be that big since i didnt plan on growing a plant too big i think mine is a one gallon

I just read that you can Germinate your beans right in the soil/pots.Is this true?I have 2 plants that started out fine.But as soon as I transfered them to there pots they started wilting.I really messed up by placeing both plants in the same pot.Im starting a cultivating class next month at the Oakland Oaksterdam.This is my first time trying to grow my own medication.Can anyone share there Knowledge with me.I cant see any Cannabis dying.Thanks much mjmmaryjane

what are you temps? plant will stop growing with constant temps above 80 i believe

Be careful when transplanting during flowering, the less stress the better as always. Good luck with it man looks good

it look like seed pods are forming... could be the pic tho

very very very best way to germinate a seed is to get ziplock etc i use small container with napkins in it and lay it half on a reptile light wraped in a black tshirt. this way u control the temp i germinate almost all my seeds this way

I haven't flowered yet but I heard they collect energy over a while and then they boom out of no where about 3 times if I recall

edit: I was going to say those pods look a bit male

there is no way there is seed pods i only have one plant and its not a hermie but i just noticed that now over night the fan leaves have brown spots and one is dry and crusty. from pictures ive seen it looks like too much nutes does epsom salt really work
