Hey guys, just wanted to find out if you guys agree with me that its time for a transplant to bigger pots

This is plant 1 and is in a 15cm high pot

And this is plant 2 in 12cm pot

Reason im asking is seems there grows has slowed down. So wondering if they getting route bound or is it another problem...

Thanks

Doubt those are root bound, but could always change the pot anyway.

You letting the soil dry between watering? Number one new grower mistake is overwatering.

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Well currently im watering twice a week but soul keeps looking moist like its not drying up.. Im not sure whats up .

Sounds like overwatering to me.
Do not water until the soil is dry at least 3cm deep. Test by sticking your finger in the soil.
Overwatering stunts growth bad.

Think i might move the girls outside tomorrow into the sunlight.. Maybe that will help dry up the soil a bit, what you guys think?

Should help. Also do you have a fan on them inside? If not add one when you can on low.

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Unfortunately i dont have a fan on them atm. And i know its a must.. As soon as my bucks come in tomorrow or sunday i will see what i can get thats in my budget.. First thing i wanna get with the cash is the extra lights, fitting, plugs and wiring oh and bigger pots.. But maybe i will leave the pots for now and get a cheap small fan.. Will a small 10cm pc fan that i connected to a 12v adapter maybe work for now for some circulation?

Also another thing i wanted to find out, is it worth having lights shining up from the bottom up to the plants?

Yes any fan will be fine.
I wouldn't bother with bottom lighting

 

[FlowerNose]

Plants only photosynthesize on the tops of the leaves.

Smell the flowers

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Ok cool, thanks for the input guys. Was just wondering about the bottom light as i have seen other guys do it but if it wont help then fook it.. Will pop that pc fan in tomorrow then so long .

Bwahahaha and how is my luck today... Wanted to put the girls outside today in the bright sunny sun.. And today its overcast and already drizzled a bit.. And this whole week we have been having full sun no cloud in sky weather and now look today.. Overcast and rainy.. Hahaha just my luck..

Sorry I'm baked and just had to rant about this

Don't worry man, plants will be fine. Just water when dry 3cm deep minimum from now on. They will start growing fast again soon.

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Lol thanks.. Just laugh as murphy fooks me over...

You haven't had any real problems yet, doing fine. As long as you stop it , the Overwater delay is only a couple days slow that's all.

Awe bud...
