i could do with a few opinions on what size pots to whack me babies into???

They have been rooting for 2 weeks and 3 days ive got a nice healthy root system under the soil as they are popping out of the bottom of me small pots!

Basically im gonna put on 12/12 now. They are about 15 cm tall??Any suggestions on the size pot??

What size pots are they in now, 8cm square??? Personally, I'd repot them into 13cm square ones, veg for about 2-3 weeks, then repot into your final flowering pots 10 litre or bigger...

Put em in as big as you can mate seeing that u r ready for flowering

A mistake I was guilty of, was "potting on" into larger pots and putting the plants straight into 12/12.

Only after the event, was I advised to first let the plants "root through" the new pots before instigating flowering, (as soon as new roots are visible at the drain holes, flower away - generally around 5 days)!

Failing to let the plants root through the larger pots won't cause any undue harm, but it will hit you in the yield department.

The photo's are from my last crop, and show how, even after 8 weeks under 12/12 HPS 600w, the root mass was no-where near as developed as it could of been.

Short of roots=short of buds

Good luck!

thanks all for the input!! I have potted them into the biggest pots i could find around!

like so...................................................

they look about bang on to me mate.good luck and keep us posted.

You really need to gradually increase the size of the pots and going from a small pot to final grow out size is fatal!
You must increas 2-3inches at a time.
I go from 1.5" to seed and when roots show I go to 4" 'til roots show and then 6" and when roots poke I go to full size.(6-11 ltr)
If you give the plant shit loads of space, it will have no urgency to reproduce.


Just my penneth worth,

Bu.

I should have got a pic of them root systems before i potted them............

BIOBIZZ ROOTJUICE IS THE DOGS BOLLOX.

why cant we just put them in the final huge pot when planting from seed?

lucifer,
think it is because of plant stress,it might kill them.
only guessing my first grow was small to sprout,
medium to veg,and large to flower
havent got a clue really sorry mate

hhhhmmmm...... im not shure abt that !!

i went from a 1.1/2" pot straight to a 10 ltr pot

i must be lucky phew....thank god

but i wud like to know for my personal info
here is a pic of mine from 1 1/2" to a 10 ltr pot

because the plant will try to explore as far as it can with its roots meaning you would end up with roots round the edge of the pot trying to get out and none in the middle. if you let the plant root a small pot, then a larger one, then a larger one again you end up with several concentric circles of rootmass which is many times more efficient.

oh n here is another 1

while thats not ideal its a lot better than going straight into a large pot!

so wot do you call a big pot? from an 1 1/2" to 10ltr

is a 15ltr or 20ltr pot to big?

cheers

one of the main probs with putting your babies into too bigger pot is you av a tiny root ball in a mass of medium.
When you water the pot the little root ball will never get a chance to dry at all and the chance of pithium becomes a lot bigger.
If u water from the bottom the small root ball will not be able to take nutes up itself

Ps.I finish in 25ltr pots but pot up 3 times before going into them.

thats not what i meant, I was saying that while not ideal going from a small (1.5") pot to a large (10ltr) pot is better than putting a seed straight into a large pot as lucifer_hunter asked about.
