I think roots prefer to grow wide not deep for mary jane sam?might be wrong ...not sure if rootbound plants have roots on top of soil u might only have to put more soil over the top?

I need 8 more bags of soil and 1 more 45 gal fabric pot. I have 45 gal pot, here. I'm going to transplant AK47 and Cherry Pie. Cherry Pie is still vegging and AK47 is pre flowering and I see roots on top of the soil....I'm thinking root bound.

Im gonna take a pic of these light dep plants' rootball after harvest. Will probably be all roots, no soil lol.

If you rootbound, you gonna know it because of how much they drink/eat.

LPP

Hi, Ruby. I did put more soil on top but when I sat with them today I got the feeling from those two that they want bigger pots.

Thehydrosource.com sells aphid predators and parasites. Anyone ever use parasites? Sounds awesome!

Lady bugs work. The predators they sell online usually mate/breed first and then grub. Praying mantis go straight to work tho.

I want to check the parasites. Sounds like it lays eggs inside the aphids then babies eat them.

@757growin you have root aphids or foliage feeding?

Neither... lols just love new stuff. My gardens the cleanest its been in three years. Just added my ssecond layer of trellis. Trying to pin these girls down a lil.

I started giving the girls 2 and a half gallons of nutrient water each. .I just mix 5 tbs of maxsea in a 5 gallon bucket of water with 2 tbs of Cal mag and give half the bucket to each plant once a week. They seem to like it!!

Lol .....I topped the tallest head on all of my plants this morning ....thanks for all your help bro I really appreciate it! Do you think Ni should get some bigger support cages.. or could I get away with tieing the branches back to the tomato cages I have now? And should I root drench with neem just in case??

The way I understand it according to wheezer is this is true and that's why kiddie pools work great or low boys like crossfaded's smart pots. all so clones don't have a tap root like a seedling so maybe more so in the case of a clone ?

You could do another cage with 6 inch squares for support or do a trellis netting wrap once bud start forming.
I would put a wood stake on each side of the tomato cage just incase she gets obese (which she will). You can get small lengths of trellis from grow shops cheap ($10). root drench with what?

I was thinking root drench with azamax or neem oil just in case I got some fuckers in the soil..

I've never heard of that. Be careful, and research first

I don't think I'd do it with neem.
