My buddy, Yoda, was 21 pounds. And lived to the ripe old age of 23. I still miss him everyday and itās been like 10 years.

Yeah, thatās the only downside to their little furry lives. But, Iāll always go down that road, as will you Iām sure @BigMike55 , canāt help but love them

I have another one. Her name is Dusty.
Meanest little shit in the Universe.
I can be sitting there patting her. Minding my own business. All of a sudden she will turn around, bite the hell out of me, enuff to draw blood, and take off running. She probably knows if I catch her im-a add some blue to that black ass.

I just donāt know whatās up with these Ripley OGās - best I can figure is the small container. Will have to check them tonight to see if I need to up their watering or something. Just a general blah feel, leaves are not smooth, but rather like a rough top surface? If that makes sense, and only on a couple, so odd.

Yeah, sounds very similar to my brown tabby, sheās a little āstirrer of the potā for sure. Really freaks me out when Iām petting her as Iām falling asleep then BAM bite bite, once, she got knocked off the bed, just from how bad she startled me. Lol, needleless to say, Iāve learned the signs for āimpending biteā and I stop.

Are those autos?
If not, I would put them in bigger pots and let them spread their legs a bit. Put some mykos around the root zone. But thatās just me.
I donāt do autos so I donāt know about those.

Theyāre autos and I think Iām seriously underwatering them. And yes, Iāll be adding some recharge to see what/if thatāll help, but I think container size is really the hinderance. @BigMike55

Is it too late for your autos to be repotted? Weāre these pots to be their final home?

Those were the final home, and honestly for the fact theyāre only 26 days old I have no issue killing them lol. I have no desire to up-pot them, so they may just be another experiment showing me the results that I knew in the back of my mind (that those were simply too small) but I just had to try the milk cartons. Seems odd though, as I see some people that can grow a tree in a 6 oz solo, so Iām truly at a loss. 
But - Iām still going to try the hempy style in the plastic containers that I previously had the kratky experiment in HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. TIL - that Iām stubborn AND stubborn.

I didnāt think they looked so bad honestly. Like I said I runregs. Usually in the seedling stage, when my fan leaves go past the edge of the cup/carton, I start looking for something to up pot into. But that time the roots will have gotten big enuff to start circling the planter.

Maybe I pick my favorites and up- pot them. They will (if they survive) afterall have probabaly another 60 days in those shoes, ughā¦
Or, do I cut my loss of $50 on the power bill and move on. man, these first world problems be killin me lol.

When I was doing Meph, etc autos my plants averaged around 24" tall, yielded an average of 75-90g, and were grown start to finish in 4x4x4" rockwool cubes.
So donāt give up based on the size of your containers, you just need to get your fertigation schedule worked out, which generally just means a lot more frequent watering/feedings as the root mass takes up most of your available medium space. Good luck!

Ok then, that gives me hope! Iāll dial in the feeding and see whatās up. Thanks @Tripl3fastaction

Heck no. Donāt trash your grow now. You already have time and money in it.
I really donāt think you problem is the size of the pot. I was just saying what I normally do and what my roots look like if I wait too long.
And really they donāt look bad to my eye. You should continue these. Adjust your nutrients a bit. Remember that if/when you make adjustments, you need to give your plants time to respond. Most changes you make wonāt show up on your plant for a couple days.

Tripl3fastaction & you are correct, I just confirmed theyāre only 2 days from last fed (big plants are every third day feed)and almost bone dry. Poor things, Iāve been starving them to death, treating them like a big plant.

hey nefrella - I would have to agree and say the pot is pretty small, and the way the roots work on autos it is very likely that has affected them, with my autos I put them directly in to 18 litre pots from the start, that seems to give me the best results with them - no potting up or anything, just let them spread there roots and go.
Have to say, I do love the smoke from Ripleys OG - a real stonker it is

Yes, this is very accurate, that and I wasnāt watering/feeding enough. Thus was an experiment in seeing if I could use the smaller containers and what it would be like. Now, I just need to finish them out - around 7 more weeks 
thanks @Zaaboot
Iāve learned that I wonāt use these small of containers again, I like the 3 day rotation for feeding waaaaaaay too much
