Take them apart and dig it all over or just work the soil in the tube still standing? Nice one for the heads up about Lowa boots, will be getting a pair for this years antics.. Yeah mate, spot on....we empty them all out add a bit more compost, bag of 6x, fbb, bit of this, bit of that ha ha....bosh Usually do this on plant out, or a short time before.... You won't regret buying a pair of them mate.....Lowa renegade gtx mid will make walking easy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair....was just worried if they went out too earlier, they may flower and reveg….then go all spazzy... I know what you mean though, weather looking good, and since I topped them, they have gone absolutely crazy in the last week, so could do with going out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forecast does look good. You may need to rearrange things and accelerate your timetable and pot out around the 7-10th April if possible The faster outdoor conditions improve and these are in the ground the better I do think this season is going to be your best gentlemen Definitely the best start I've seen from you 2 over the last 4-5 years Kind regards Mark.. Hello mate Yeah was thinking about sticking them out mid to late april…... If we put them out, at the start of April, wouldn't the light hour difference make them flower? They are on 18/6 atm......and outdoor light is at around 13/11....this should raise somewhat over the next 2-3 weeks though. To be honest...the quicker they get out there the better imo….they are going mad mate Yeah, best start ever.....Plants are looking a picture of health too i'll stick a pic up later......no room at the inn ha ha.....Og Kush have also decided to grow like there is no tomorrow, need to repot these and top them too, they are still in 3 inch pots, but don't look deficient I should have the fridge grow area up and running soon so can space things out a bit hope you're good mate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromedian Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Coming up to week 5...…. Root Stim still doing it's stuff I raised the lights yet again, but since the topping, they are running out of room fast..... To give you an idea on a week of growth after being topped this is last week.... and today.... Luvvly jubbly 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any that start stretching will need to stay indoors on more light, but the rest should be good to go out leaving you more room to play with That's all theory mind 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kinda thinking of going down that route, 15 mins every couple of days, like you say, still worries me though ha ha And been nurturing these ladies for a while now, so don't wanna mess things up..... I might just leave 'em be for now, but then wait until mid april and put half of them out, giving me more room.... Way these are growing on that root stim....I will need a lorry to drop them off at the plot 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flighty Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Ha ha ha I think your only other option is to keep hacking them back??? Either way I'd be reducing light hours at least a bit before putting any out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah mate, think you're right actually....coz even mid April, the light is still going to be around 15/9 or so....so could do with dropping them down to 16/8-17/7.... As to hacking my ladies about 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season has definitely started with you boys on your toes and ready to go With far my April plant outs, yes it could cause issues with the light hours mate, what date did you have in mind roughly. 20-28th April to plant out?
