They wont choke out as long as you got good air inside they will get thicker and thicker amongst themselves. But, bigger tote for bucket lots more air and cool water temps 2 lb plants can be achieved. Cheers

Umtopfen JA/NEIN???
I wanted to switch to 12/12 tomorrow. Is it worth it to transplant them from 7L to 15L Airpots so close to the switch? Or should I transplant and give them a few more days of Veg before I switch? Or would it be better to go into flowering in the 7L? THX

when to transplant
So, this is the first time I've gradually increased pot size as I feel they need it, instead of planting seedling straight into pots as one does with autos. How long should these girls stay in there pots before they move into 3 gals?

What size pot for final home
I am ready to transplant this girl. I have a 7 gallon plastic pot or a 30 gal tote from big lots I can drill holes in. Is the 30g overkill considering I only have 2-4 weeks until flower or will a increase in yield make it worth it? It has been in a 5g outdoors for 3 weeks.

Problemas con el PH y asimilacion de nutrientes, hojas bajas amarillas y caidas
Hi, I've had problems this week with some of my plants. A couple of weeks ago, my pH meter broke, and it seems like they're not absorbing some nutrients well, it could be potassium, nitrogen, or manganese. Could you help me get a better diagnosis of my plants?

Root Booster Terra Aquatica how to use it?
my question is how much to water in ml at these stages with root booster, and is it worth alternating this booster with regular watering? The instructions say to add 2ml per 10 liters of water, or 2 drops per liter of water. and maybe it can be used not twice per grow?
