HazyDaze Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 You can probably half the watering. 5 days is way too long for younguns. You need to keep them growing fast and being water logged for so long will slow them too a crawl... ✌ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinafem-Mark Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) I would go with a watering of little and often mate. This will force the roots to grow to seek out food. This in turn will make the top foliage grow more vigorously No problem I love popping in mate always good to see the progress All the best D-M.

1lastchance Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi chap when I had that problem I watered from the bottom. This will encourage the roots down faster. Hope it helps. Atb mate 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sy100276 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 @@Dinafem-Mark that is right, I was planning to put them under a mh for the weekend, but due to my major cock up with payment cards this morning they will have to stay put for another week or so. Words cannot express just how pissed off I am. I am pleased that they seem to of recovered from the top,and the 2 new tops have started to grow. They are also just wider than the 3.5l square pots.I think that the next high point will be strapping them down,but that is a while off. Well that's all for now, take care 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
botanics Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 @@sy100276 You know the watering thing bud, I think it's the Jacks mate, it's got good drainage and plenty of sand but I noticed that my girls were taking a bit longer than when they were in the verve previously the high peat retains the moisture more than coco based composts I'm finding, I may ease it up a bit with some coco on a run and see how it pans out, will report back if and when I do so mate 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sy100276 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 @@botanics I like your thinking. I only have 3/4 of a bag left of the jacks, I am tempted to get some pm soil supreme and just start ot grow earlier than the usual 5 weeks in the jacks. I was doubting myself for a while though if I am being honest. The mind can play tricks on you,when you least expect it.

I will just use the jacks in the garden,in fact I was thinking of getting a tree,maybe a blossom? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
