Nitramkram Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hi bigbudburge, randomnut ... Yes mate the pots do make a difference. Bigger pots = bigger plants (usually)! YEP - all you need is the room. bigbudburge ...went bargain hunting today and got 2 gardening buckets for a quid each hopefully they don't get too stressed out moving into their new home . :wink: greate - the usual sign to "pot-up" is when the roots cme out of the bottom of the pots. hopefully they don't get too stressed out moving into their new home Just a hint a common time to pot on is when your medium is 'dry' to 'dryish'. This reduches of the breakage of & disruption to the micro roots (micro hairs) which are importhant for the plant to maintain uptake of the nutrients. The looked ready to be potted up. What size in Lt's is your new "2 gardening buckets" goodluck :wink: NK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napolean Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hi mate, Please tell me there not the soft rubber plastering buckets. cos if they are your going to wait forever. to be honest with you, all you had to do was stick more soil in the pots except the smaller black pot obviously cos that was a little too small. big pots...... more space.... more water.... more soil...... more nutrients and also MUCH MORE FUCKING HARD WORK! ! !
