Judging by size and what you got I'd say 20-25g. She's a bit smaller than your smaller one. I'd be happy with that though especially considering how little I put into this grow and the mistakes that I made. At the start of the grow I was hoping for an ounce, but I'd be satisfied missing that...

Just out of curiosity, what causes a plant to become rootbound? I've seen pictures of huge plants in fairly small pots that are perfectly healthy and then smaller plants in the same size pot that are supposedly rootbound. What causes it?

Maybe her house was on fire, so she had to find a new one. :lol:

Aha, that bug looks so cool. It's like a little bomb that's going to explode and destroy all the mites.

I wouldn't be so concerned about the lady bug hurting the plant, but maybe why it's there. It wouldn't hurt to give the plant a thorough checking to make sure there aren't any pests that the lady bug is feeding on. I'm sure the lady bug just got lost and found a nice plant to chill on, but it...

She's getting closer and closer every day! Some of the hairs just started changing color and more trichomes popping up everywhere. I checked a couple nights ago and they were about 60% cloudy from what I could tell with hardly any amber yet. I'm guessing a couple more weeks at least. Day 74

It's 12" in diameter and 10" high, so about 4.5 gallons or so. I don't think there's any way the pot is too small, but I'm curious if this happens a lot. I'm guessing one of the roots just kept growing and just happened to grow out one of the holes in the bottom.

Dude you're freaking me out I think you live in the same apartment complex as me. Please just tell me there isn't a Lowe's just down the street so I can stop freaking out lol. Edit: Ok, I just read the whole thread and saw you said the only store near you is Walmart. I'm not even high I swear...

Is it bad if there's a root coming out the bottom of the pot?

Ok, more evidence that it's a PH problem. She's showing early signs of a phosphorous deficiency, which gets locked out at a high PH. Some of the petioles are a little red and two of the upper leaves have a tiny bit of dark blue color starting to appear. Just going to get the PH sorted out...

The search on this forum is almost completely useless, so it's kind of hard to blame him.

My guess is that you'll probably want bigger pots. If you want them to stay small, you might consider reducing the amount of time the light is on to something like 18/6. It may not make much of a difference, but if you aren't looking for huge growth then you aren't gaining anything by having the...

Sounds like a good decision all things considered. I'm sure they'll still make for an amazing smoke even if it's a bit earlier than you'd like. Looking forward to seeing how the harvest goes.

About 90% sure. I tested the PH of the soil and it is pushing 8 from what I can tell with this hard to read ph test. Even if it is a deficiency, the PH needs to go down, so I'm going to try that first. The food I've been using has Mg in it, but it doesn't look like it has Ca. The Lowe's down...

Ok, so not buying a PH meter and just assuming that the reverse osmosis water I had was pretty much neutral came back to bite me in the ass. Anyway, this is what happened: Too High PH!! What happened was that I fed her like two waterings in a row and then waited a while before the next...
