Considering moving the 8 gallon bucket to 3 but the roots were entangled - didn't move them, fingers crossed not too crowded in the pot / for the pot!
I switched the nutrients to something a bit more made for growing. The recommendations I found here and other sites seem to agree that this is effective.
The results after two days were amazing...the green came back and the leaves perked up. I'm liking the grow process and hope that the inexperience and the unknown strains don't bite me, but so far...looking good. The smell has begun! I'm excited !
