Critical Kush Appraisal

Hello. This is the end of week 9 and the beginning of week 10 of veg. Well, I got them repotted. The leaves are still sort of droopy, with the repotting stress on the roots. They will recover. I also sprinkled 2 teaspoons of blood meal, for some extra nitrogen, around the stock and watered in. The blood meal was 12-0-0 so I didn't want to use too much. In the repotting pictures I tried to show; That I drilled extra holes in the bottom of the pot and that I cover them up with some gardeners felt. The felt drains well but still holds on to some moisture. As the water drains it pulls in extra air to the roots through the felt. I try to have the branches at the top of the soil, so I bury the root ball deeper and cover up the stock. Like tomato's, cannabis grows extra roots on the buried part of the stock. The root ball gets bigger, faster, than just putting to root ball level with the soil. I thought I was going to cut off the bottom loop of the tomato cages but when I measured, they fit tightly inside the top of the pot to make the whole thing more stable. The soil I use; Sunshine Mix #4 by SunGro Horticulture - sungro.com I live in Canada, the soil is made in Canada. It doesn't have to be shipped half way across the world like coco coir. I also use nutrients from Canada so I don't have to pay more and it's better for the planet. Ok, we've finished book #1, on to book #2 next week. Chuck.
