How did the roots look? Was the cup full? Did they come out in one piece? Probably need a gallon for each pot.
WOW!!! WHAT A DAY!!!
So, first of all....I had no idea transplanting would be so crazy and time consuming. I sifted the perlite to get rid of the powder, tried mixing in a 5 gallon bucket, then realized it was only enough for one 3G pot lol. Anyway, here’s how it went.
The Lemon Grass (tallest, biggest) was the first to go. The medium‘s water content was perfect for transplant. Stayed in one piece, I did sort of a gravity flip and flop right into the pre-shaped solo cup hole I made. PERFECT! Roots looked good too. Starting to coil at the bottom but not root bound.
Some others were more finicky and too dry. The (I think) PUDC #2 went in pretty rough. Started to fall apart as I was flipping it. It was ugly. But not as ugly as when I transplanted the Runt lol. The Runt literally fell apart in a fast, aggressive way and as I tried to guide it to the hole of destiny, it SMASHED into the hole and a big long hairy root flopped out and ended up on top of the coco. I quickly covered it with more coco and hope for the best lol.
I watered until the bottoms were soggy. It took forever because I used a pressure sprayer to get it as even as possible nice and slow. Too damn slow. Pretty much every root mass looked the same. Only had the balls to take one quick pic though...
And here they are in their new homes!
I decided to use a 1 gallon fabric pot for the runt. Just to see how it goes. Finally I can kick back and smoke a bowl omg that was more stressful on me than the plants haha. Fun though.
