How do I know when to transplant?

[GNick55]

If I only have the

15 gallon and there are roots now coming out of the bottom of the current one, can I still move it but be careful about watering ??

move it as to what?
take a photo of the roots coming out please?
maybe time to look to see if it’s time to transplant.

Move it to the 15 gallon bag, water it just like you've done with the pot, but it will certainly take more water. Good luck going forward.
PS. take note of the root ball size, you'll then get an idea how much the roots have been growing for the length of time they've been in the pot you're moving it from.

Very minimal but I think she’s filled her space up. It would be a 15 gallon fabric pot. I hate the pot it came in because it’s just a trash pot and those holes have been plugged with it’s stupid water retention cup since I got it. I didn’t realize it came off it’ll I went to drill it and saw some roots it’s not a lot but it’s something

Ive got a 1200w LED, I wanted to put it in a 15 gallon fabric pot. I have a 5x5x6.5 tent. I did top it a couple days ago. I got this from a friend a couple weeks ago i will transplant soon as possible. Is 15 gallon too much? I figured the bigger the better an the fabric will have good drainage. Also mother nature doesnt have a pot size haha

Hey hobble , the bigger the better dosent always apply in weed growing , and mother nature isn't enclosed in 4 plastic vinyl walls with an artificial light source , so dont assume what happens outside will work inside.....

I think 15 gal is a big container , you will have to be prepared to veg for an extra long time to reap the benefits of a pot that size , are you prepared to veg for 6 to 8 weeks ? Otherwise , id go smaller.....

If your thinking huge pot , huge harvest , it dosent always work out like that ......
Actually , never works out like that ....

He is right, if you throw that in a big pot now. If your new at it your going to have problems. When that pot dries in 3 days from full sat, to light as fk. Then do it.

She was ready I think....

yepper transplant today

im sure you’ll be in veg for 3 months anyways, a little more mature plant from (seed)? is better anyways,
take note of that root ball as in size for your watering in the 15 gallon, you kinda see how it’ll fit in the bag and so on.

yepper transplant today

already done. Didn’t realize the leaves drooped so damn fast after. Practically 2 min reaction time. There is some very small brown spotting on the verrrry tips. Super small, I raised my light cause I’m afraid it’s light burn. Will upload a photo in a sec my internet is trash

 

[Formallyhap]

I want my plants almost root bound when I transplant because then I can trim the roots and get a nice spread in the new soil.

Was thinking of tossing it outside once it’s warm enough and have it go in that big pot all summer. What is this brown spotting on the very tips of the top leaves? Is this burn from the LED being too low? It’s very minor on the tips just want to be proactive

a transplant is stress to the plant, this is the time to just leave it be and the space in which it’s in, just check here and there and if your worried just post a picture.
if you put outside, once its growing good don’t bring it back on as you could bring in pest.

also now it’s a big bag try not to move it or bump into it, as roots and root hairs will begin to stretch out into the new soil and moving it can damage those roots! really just leave it be other than feeding.
tying down branches?wait till it’s grown a couple inches.

Im watering it very cautiously and not fully saturating it, im honestly a bit worried when it comes to watering, i just spray till thoroughly damp and check back in in like 5-6 hours and see how damp it is when i dig a finger down, and usually give it a bit more, havent let anything run out the bottom yet, and been watering with rain water since the soil is so fresh. I have seaweed extract and also can make compost tea but idk when its a good time to add that

I have been tying down the branches just stopped for the transplant, Ill LST the branches again once its given a day or so from transplant. Thanks everyone for the help its great to have so many opinions available when i know what feels like jack shit. Time isn't an issue for me, i guess it would mainly be space. Is 15 gallons a good size for going out this summer? I have a lot of good seeds and i dont mind starting over. I know no plant will come out perfect on my first grow and that there is a massive learning curve. Once she is gone ill start more inside. I can switch it to flower at any real point right, so at what point should i switch it over? Im ok if it doesn't get full potential out of the 15-gallon pot, just dont know how big it will stretch and i dont want to run out of room

be prepared for the roots to grow into ground in which it sits if outside because they will eventually..
stress to a plant takes 4-7 days to recover basically, so just leave it for a few days, why add more stress so soon?

At what point should i add seaweed extract and other stuff? Is foliar feeding the seaweed ok? Ill wait a bit for the LST for it to recover,

Coast of maine, local compost, bone meal worm castings and extra perlite, it was slightly damp when added and i gave it a light watering after the transplant

just check in on her and post any issues here.
