Hi all

I've had my 9 plants (in sq/m) flowering for 44 days. (they vegged for about 32 days too)

For the last 1 week or 10days I notice not a lot of bud development on the top of the plants. There is a nice chunk (about the size of a pack of 10 cigs) on the tops but they were like that 2 weeks ago.

When I look at forums here, I see some that have far more bud on top and they are also under 400w (like me).

Am i being impatient or have I shocked them or something. I have kept the light regular with no light-leaks at all and I have given each plant about 1/2 litre water per day (in 11 litre pots of soil/vermic/perlite etc)

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

you have some pics

An 11-liter pot is like a 2.5-gallon (dry U.S. ... close to being 3-gallons liquid U.S.) pot and that is a small pot and could be part of or contributing to your possible slow growth problem. When plants are in a root-bound condition there are a number of problems that can occur, stress/shock being one (or should that be two) of them.

i have had root bound problems can totally stop the absorption of nutrients which will turn the leaves lighter and lighter then yellow inhibiting everything. Best thing is move to larger pots like 5 gallon buckets. when you look at the bottom of the soil during transplanting see how the roots look.

thanks for the advice. I dont think i will manage to find bigger pots or more soil but I realise now for next time. Will my bud still be smokable?

i wouldn't transplant right now in the middle of your grow.... better luck next time.... you live and learn.... your buds will swell last two weeks... i'm in a similar situation like you...

also, when you transplant due to root bound issues during flowering, it will increase your flowering time because the plant sends energy to make more roots...
