I did my first grow when I was 17 ( 15 years ago) and I am still learning every single day...the techniques and possibilites are endless, but one step at a time...

It's like a baby who learns to walk...they crawl, the take baby steps, and then they run!

this seems to be the easiest for me... im keeping shit simple
the more complicated things become the more chance things fuck up.

Yea it's the reason I'm gonna grow the new seedlings side by side with all the correct things and just keep the best 7-8 of them and give the others away,I had a successful geow before so I know I'll eventually have another

looking forward to seeing it

There up three days now I'll most likely post pics of them at 10days old,I wont add nutes till 2-3 weeks old to make sure they don't get burned,there getting a little bigger than the others were at three days but still small

There in ocean forest soil

I been thinking and I come to relize my bbies hasn't been getting bigger so I decided to check something and transplant into the gallon buckets,not positive on it but can this be te reason of the slow growth?. This was the one with the least roots

There's a shit load of roots on them for there sizes lol I wasn't expecting all that when I got the first one out of its pot

thats prolly why they stopped growing, looks totally root bound to me
a similar thing happened to my stepdad twice.
once it was because he didnt transplant them to bigger pots soon enough.
the other time was the people who sold him the clones left this white cotton shit in the trays and didnt tell us

man those need to be transplanted, unless you want mini buds

Yea I wanted to make sure first because I been doing all kinda shit thinking I had nutrient and soil problems but just finally thought about checking them and there in 1gallon pots not and in a few days there getting some GRO BIG nutrient from foxfarm so they should take off soon!!;)

Btw thanks for taking ur time to everyone that helps and comments!!!
Its nice to have some attention every now and then lol:):):)

Vid of them

That's not so bad man...but of course it is always better to transplant before you get a severe case of it like in the pics below. MJ roots love lots of room. You need atleast 1 gallon of soil per foot of plant height. Most people use 5 gallon pails as their final pot size. And yes, being rootbound will stunt growth.

Here's a real good case of rootbound

Close enough lol I got them into 1gallon pots and there lookin better today,leafs are sticking up again and it's kinda nice

There's no point transplanting, transplanting, transplanting. you may as well take it from your mini pots and put them straight into 15ltr pots straight away. I'd use a 15ltr pot at least.

also, are you bottomfeeding? or are you watering on top and draining through?

Yes but I rather take my time transplanting being I'm not sure on the size of the plants I want yet and its giving me time to learn and gain experience,yes I water them till they drain a little bit and I only water them after I feel the weighed on the pots" heavy- light" and also stick my finger dwn in the soil a little to see if it's still to moist to re water,there on 24/0 and picking up nicely since the transplant

think back to plant biology in high school man, plants grow in day and night conditions. photosynthesis needs dark periods to perform at it's peak. there are indeed certain circumstances in which you can use 24/0, but i wouldn't recommend it personally. i'd go 18/6
