sKitzO 05/08 (Day 36 ) - well the start to the new week, and a new problem to deal with. Bit of my fault for not keeping an eye on their legs, but I was in full training mode. I’ll note this for next year.
707 P2 my biggest girl was showing signs of dwarfism (new growth was stunted). I untied her and her roots are, well, not white. After consulting with an old grow buddy, remedy was 2ml h2o2 per liter of water. I mixed up 2L for this girl
Loaded my spray bottle and tipped her out. Sprayed her roots down then proceeded to give her the rest of the dose. I’ll let her rest till tomorrow then transplant.
Seems she got a bit choked out with her growth and a bit bound. My fault for not recognizing her size to pot ratio.
Rest of the crew is doing well. All were fed today. 1L with a TDS of 792 at a pH of 6.24. Mangos and filling in nicely and the rest and catching up in their own way. I’ll be deciding on bigger nursery pots, or final transplant to 45gal smart pots. Wanna sleep on it.
Enjoy the pics, more updates this week for sure.

05/10 (Day 38) - well that was an ordeal. Made the decision to transplant to 5gal nursery pots. My hand was a bit forced due to my hydro shop (where I get my pots) being in the middle of a location move. Took me forever to track down 5gal nursery pots, but I managed to find them.
707 P1-3 and and the Mango’s were all transplanted on 05/09. I had some medium left, but not enough... doh! I didn’t want to use any type of ‘soil’ so needed to think quickly. Went to my old 2018 plot and dug up some old medium and crushed up some old roots to make it nice and airy. Not ideal, but I know the medium and it was flushed well. Kids, this is why you always ensure you have your supplies for your next phase ahead of time.
Once the ladies had a new home, I put them back into my nursery, but that space was never designed for 5gal pots... whoops. The ladies had an uncomfortable night under partial light, so had to fix that today.
Created a tent of sorts out of shrink wrap to keep any thing out of the environment, and keep them a bit warmer. Hung my light a bit higher and the ladies have a new home. Tonight is the coldest night for the next 2 weeks, so will monitor how they do
Also worth noting the light has been put on a timer. Plants will be weaned down to an 18 hour light schedule by next Saturday (about an hour less of light per day for next week).
From here they can go in the ground anytime. I don’t normally do this, but they haven’t been as exposed to sun as I like them to be by this point, and I’ve placed some undue stress on them. Better safe then sorry.

If you’re going with 45gal smartpots then I hope you also have a camo net to put over em. Odds are good a satellite will see em from orbit!!! Lol - I can’t wait for this, these’ll be huge! Good luck!:+1::sunglasses:
@sKitzO, hear that - let’s get this going god damnit!:+1:
@TheBudWhisperer, exactly. That why I always go back on my experience, knowledge and reading the plant. They never lie with their needs.
I think me with 25s will give me a good sense. We’ll see if I’m limited at all come flowering. They are in 5s now, and I’m eager to get them into their final home. Come on Mother Nature....
@sKitzO, funny - was just at the hydro shop myself talk’n with the owner.l and he said the exact opposite :joy: - minimum size pot for outdoor in his opinion should be 30gal. :ok_hand: that’s way too big for my needs but proof that opinions are like assholes eh? Everyone’s got one! Lol
