Do the transplant. It literall never hurts and the new soil also has more food in there.
You are 100% correct.
Thing is: I try to keep the plant short and small, so I don't annoy my neighbors too much and keep it a bit stealthy. That's why the pot is tiny.
The plant looks happy though! Just the lower leaves a little yellow but still nothing irreversible I guess?
It's irreversible, and the plant seems to be resorbing some nutrients from those leaves right now.
The lower leaves don't get much sun and would have to come off anyways.
It's not intuitive, but taking those leaves off will increase yield.
It's called lollipopping and I'll make a post about it.
I challenged myself to not spend any money on this grow.
Truth is: I don't have a bigger pot available right now and I don't want to buy one 😅
Exactly..i always take a lot of the lower leaves off preventitively but that is more as pruning for growth and you dont want that haha.
No basket lying around with a garbage bag in there?
And otherwise for nutrients you can also take a bananapeel ans stick it in a jar for 2 days. The nutrients coming from the peel in the water also do wonders!
For nutrients, I just top-feed some compost.
And occasionally spent coffee grounds, also to lower the PH.
You can't beat mineral fertilizers in the late stages, though.
I'll probably use some then.
And no: I have no container available at all.
..at least not one, where I am willing to drill a whole into.
I'm not sure it'll work for weed plants, but I know people that has used grow bags? Not sure if that's really the name.(I've not used them either)
Personally, I'd improvise if you have something similar🤷 again I'm not sure it'd be recommended for weed plants.. Just thinking how to replant without spending anything🤗
Actually, I will buy special cloth-bags for the plants for next season.
Because they let air through, they serve as 'root trainers', preventing the plant from getting root-bound.
I want to keep it minimal budget, but these bags are really worth it. And they are reasonably cheap. Can recommend, but needs much more watering, because it allows for more evaporation.
For now, the small pot is ok. It's an experiment, kinda...
🤗 oh ok cool. Hope it turns out good for you☺️
And thanks for the info about them🤗
