    Default Answered: second time grower what's going on with my plants...cuz I have no clue

    So I have a few plants that im using to do a lil training and getting myself familiar with growing techniques...in any case I put them in a gallon bucket to start with but haven't changed it yet before I got a chance to transplant it, it started flowering I was wondering if It will continue to grow even though it's flowering right now and has been for about 2/3 weeks now it's only about 20 inches tall and I was trying to get it to be about 2 or 3 feet tall do you think it's because the pots are too small im going to try to put up pix any help or input would be greatly appreciated

  2. "As a rough guide (working in US Gal) 1 gal pot vlume per month age or ft in height.
    So, if this plant will be 3 months old at its finish, it should be in a 3 gal pot.
    If you start it flowering at 1ft high, allow for it to treble in height, giving 3gal.

    You could flower it through in a 1 gal pot, far from ideal, but it will need watering a lot and the pot size will stifle potential growth.
    On the other hand, if you try to repot, it could shock the plant and you may loose a weeks growth. far from ideal when flowering.

    Good luck dude. W"

    It will probably stop stretching after about 2-3 weeks then it will start packing on bud rather than new growth.

    Sounds good to me pimpin thanks for the response...I put them into 5 gallon pots yesterday I was as gentle as humanly possible but im not sure if it was good enough just hoping they're ok they all looked pretty good today...if they were in shock shouldnt they look all droopy? cuz they looked very perky this morning...also I was poking around the site and read something about not watering them everyday...but noticed that while they were still in the gallon pots they did drink a fuck ton of water...thanks again gentlemen
