OMG, that's gonna make Rev Tead smile real big. Lol!
Thanks. I'm trying to stick with Malawi today, to get a better feel for her. I'll do Callanetics and consider the idea further. Right after a couple more hits.

Thinkin' about putting her into a three gallon bucket and letting her grow some more roots this week.
What do you think guys?
If you can get the rootball out without too much damage, you can get away with up-potting this late in veg. I'd give them a week to settle after, so they adapt and get a good root hold of the soil.

Oh dude... replanting hempies in pure perlite is soooooo simple. I try to keep all the perlite I can when I move them. I really don't even think they notice sometimes. Hell... I've done some bare root transplanting from perlite to perlite and I think the transplants failed to notice the event.
Ain't you just spot on today.
Awesome... jump right in baby! It's just so damn easy.
Got a small garden? Go with tiny 2L soda bottle grows.
Sittin on some headroom? Hell, jump it up to 5gal and grow a damn tree!

She didn't want to come out of the pot.
I texted Tead, and he said to cut her out. So I did. 
Tead thinks I may not need to water her but once a week. Sweet!

Oh yeah..... I fed her today too.
And jump on I will. 2ltr soda bottle will be a little tall for my 2.5 ft tall flower box. I'll come up work something that will work, I always do.

The one-gallon vinegar bottles I cut down are a good squatty height with stability. They might work well for you. Dale Gribble uses plastic coffee cans. Lots of creative adaptability possible.

There are other ways... but when one doesn't care about the container, one tends not to worry about it and just cuts to the chase... pun intended.
I wouldn't go smaller than 2L. If you select a shallow container you're going to need to support the plant and do some adjustment on your res hole. Deeper containers work better than shallow containers... but function rules ehh?
Oh spot on. I forgot the bottle jack... one of my faves. The less medium, the more frequent watering one needs... but you know that well.
Oh yes, I watered that Jack 3 times a day

You are going to have a wonderful time. Incidentally, I can't say enough about the RX Green Solutions Better Grow nutes. I know that's a big part of the success I'm having with Carn 4.1. I've never had a Carnival look this good.
Tead thinks I may not need to water her but once a week. Sweet!
Plant uptake on a girl that big might drop you down to a 4 or 5 day schedule. I was doing a 4 day schedule on my last 3gal grow, but I almost always slacked and let the cycle run long to 5 or 6 day cycle. Never saw any damage from plants drying out.
Do your own samples and get used to the moisture levels. Wiggle your finger into the medium as the days go by and actually write your samples down as a 1 to 10 number. If you have one of those soil moisture probes, you can use that to measure things as well.
Words for MrA....
Sue's tip about this nute line is missing a bit of info she didn't point to... tho she has on many other occasions. The Better Grow nutes don't need to be PH adjusted. I gotta say.... if I were going to use a liquid feeding regime, I'd be ordering some. PH can often be a bit of a dance with other nutrient lines.

Are you using just the Grow A & B and Bloom A & B?
Something PH stable would be a wonderful addition in my garden. The GH 3 part line tends to drift. I have to lower the PH in a hempy on watering day, knowing that the PH will creep up the next few days.

There's also an Energy that's used throughout, but at 1/4 rate during flower, and a bottle of Bulk that gets used starting week three of flowering.
As Tead so kindly pointed out, no need to pH adjust unless it's below 3. Makes life so easy I can't believe it. It's actually as easy as using the kit with my soil girls, and from the looks of it it's growing healthier plants than the kit is, at least in my garden.
She didn't skip a beat.
Just waking up this morning. 
Good morning everyone
You ever watch a cat stretch after a nap? It's called pandiculation. What most don't understand is the contraction through the spinal chord that occurs during that stretch. Try it sometime and feel the contractions down the spine as the chest opens. Done correctly it's an all-over inclusive stretch that effectively works every muscle in your body, stretching to break any fibrous connections that may have developed during sleep that would cause restriction.
One of the reasons sitting at a desk all day long isn't a good idea.
Consider the insanity of schools that eliminated recess. What are we thinking, setting our young ones up for a life of pain? The fibrous net that is all of you beneath the skin surface to your bone marrow is a dynamic, active, living thing, and periodic manipulation through stretching and shaking is necessary to keep it from becoming tight and difficult to move, and conversely difficult for the ECS to monitor, since all that tightness and constriction disrupts clear cellular signaling. Here, I'll let Dr. Gill Hedley explain it for me.
[video=youtube;BdRqLrCF_Ys]https:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdRqLrCF_Ys[/video]
He does that explaination better than anyone. Movement and joy, my friends. Include both in your daily adventure. Make life more fun and less restrictive. Get lots of laughter into the formula too. After all, life is meant to be fun. It's meant to feel good, and only you control the amount of joy and satisfaction you'll be expressing. I choose cascading joy as my default setting. It's more fun that way.
Make your song one of unbounded joy today, and watch your life transform into something that often looks a little magical, right before your amazed eyes.
I know that's my plan for the day ahead. I do hope you'll join the fun.

I'm anticipating the first watering after upcanning will be sooner, due to the wicking that would be going on with fresh perlite. Thanks for the pointer about assigning a numeric range. Good idea. I can note it on the flow sheet.

Hey Anna, good to see you.
My understanding is once it's hermies you can expect every clone to do likewise, and for sure a reveg will develop the dreaded nanners. Now, some among us take this as an opportunity to let nature do a little genetic modification. Seeds can be a pain to clean out, but then you have seeds you didn't have to pay for. Lol!
I personally haven't had a problem with hermies. That surprises me, given the stresses my plants live through sometimes. I chalk it up to strong genetics. I do have some excellent seeds in the box. If it were me, I'd let them go to harvest and try my best to keep up with nanner removal, but 16 plants is a bit much, eh?
Two weeks out is close enough to salvage it as fresh harvest infused oil if you think it might not be smokable produce, but you might also be surprised at the potency at this point. You'd expect to have higher levels of CBDa, but that could be a good thing.
All things work out to your benefit Anna. Never forget that cosmic truth. What appears to be a problem is really a unique solution, likely to something you aren't aware of yet.
Thanks for putting it in a more positive perspective for me, Sweet Sue! I'm surprised how few of the very experienced growers I follow on 420 have encountered hermaphroditism issues. That's makes me feel comfy with it as likely being a one off.
And thanks very much for sparing me the disappointment of re-vegging then re-flowering plants that would probably re-hermie!
I'm focusing on GrowNumber2 now and intend on treating these girls to a very Zen, zero-stress, positivity filled environment. 'The Flower Spa' rather than 'The Flower Tent'. I was saying earlier- there'll be soft classical music, stem massage, gentle yoga as LST...etc.
TBH, The most valuable yield of my 'IndoorGrowNumber1' has definitely been; the plethora of things I've learned & the many experienced, skilful and lovely 420ites I've befriended, who've been phenomenally kind and amazingly patient with my never-ending questions and constant requests for advice! And you Sweet Sue - are one of them.
Respect.
