How deep do you suppose I'd have to dig up? They have been in ground for months and are about 3-4 ft tall and probably 4-5 ft wideHG,
Make sure to dig oversized area around the plant. They are not necessarily deep rooted. Once in a large pot with space to expand make darn sure you pump them with plenty of water. Try to keep from hard direct sunlight. No stress. A shot of KCl will help stimulate root growth. Even consider sprinkling root tone ( commercial product: plant hormone - GA3) around the ball.
Zill.
Well it already started flowering Early but I brought it back before it was more than preflowering and it barely stalled it. So id assume it would be more likely to flower? And it's kinda implied that they aren't going to be happy about it but they are fully established so I'm hoping they should be resilient enough if I'm careful. And it's legal to have 12 in my state so I can't take too many clones. Being on probation makes it a fine line as it is lol if you have more than the limit and get caught it's fed time even on first offenseIf it were me, first of all, I would take several cuttings for clones so as not to lose the plant/strain entirely if something goes wrong, you'll still have clones for next year.
Then, I would carefully start digging in a circle, starting about 12 inches from the longest branches of the plant, and work your way around the plant, trying to get as close to the root ball without cutting roots (although you will inevitably cut into some in the process) and once you have it all loose from the ground, carefully place it into a suitable pot that's at least as wide and deep as the root ball. Fill with soil, water it in, and do your move.
Try to think like a paleontologist, excavating as carefully as you can without destroying what you're digging up. It doesn't look like they're flowering yet, so that will make life easier. Don't be surprised if the shock of transplant does start the flowering process, though, as that's most likely going to be the outcome. It can go either way, it may delay flowering or speed up flowering, but as someone said above, it will shock the plant no matter how carefully you do it, so just be prepared for that.
My plan is to go straight from the ground into some cut open 55 gallon barrels I have filled with a various ages of goat shit lol none of it is newer than 2-3 years but some is at least 10 years old so it's all pretty well composted . I figure if I do it sooner rather than later Hopefully they will be through the shock by the time I actually have to move and I can just move them in containers and leave themKeep the root ball wet and you’re probably OK. If you have to go a long distance, wrap the root ball in wet burlap. Just like the tree boys do. Make sure the new home is ready and waiting!
What state are you in, if you don't mind my asking? Here in CO the limit is 12 plants, as well, but they're nowhere near that strict. Also, here in CO, any plant under 8 inches is not considered. In other words, it has to be over 8 inches to be considered a plant, so theoretically you could have thousands of clones as long as they're under 8 inchesWell it already started flowering Early but I brought it back before it was more than preflowering and it barely stalled it.
