No prob man. Discussion about space requirements and such such interest me greatly. Ya i mean I just don't really hear about people re-potting in bloom, but you did say you have done it about what 2-3 weeks in? Definitely good to know you can still do it that far in If you really need to. Like you said before. If the transplant isn't stressful at all then it shouldn't really matter. I believe that. I suppose it depends on your transplant technique especially when plants get bigger later on in their life as it gets increasingly risky to disturb their already massive root system.Very nice info... Thx RF and thx for letting me hijack your thread again Justiceman! :) BTW I'm gonna listen to you guys and not repot my plants this late into bloom... :D
it seems as if u are fufilling your quest my friend!
Looking great Justiceman! Yeah I've definately transplanted up to the 2nd week and was gonna transplant my section A plants at week 3, but that other discussion convinced me to not do the transplant and see what happens... Especially after seeing the small root ball from the previous round... ;) soil is def different from hydro in the root dept...Your root mass almost completely stops growing after 3 weeks into flowering so at that point there is not reason to transplant.
Bro they are looking hella good. You have the day off today? Trying to hit the BPCC?

To be honest I'm not so sure about your root mass stopping after 3 weeks. Not to say that I would transplant at that time necessarily. I think you roots continue to grow in order to suck up enough nutrients as the flowers progress, but I suppose I don't really know for sure. I just know that their aim is to produce seed. They probably grow as many leaves, buds, and roots in order to try and produce seed. They very well may stop growing a few weeks after flower, but I'm just not sure. I do know that in DWC the roots keep on growing even through flower though.Your root mass almost completely stops growing after 3 weeks into flowering so at that point there is not reason to transplant.

That Green Cush already looks ready lol

They are definitely different. I still need to check out hydro as well. What soil did you use? Happy Frog cut 50/50 with Light Warrior? I last used Ocean Forest cut with more chunky perlite. I don't remember the ratios to be honest. It was outdoor, and for some reason the roots reached a particular side of the pot for some reason. Maybe it didn't get as hot on that side. I am anxious to see what the root balls look like with this roots organics soil. I think the more aeration material added to soil the more roots.Looking great Justiceman!

Haha good line:cool0041: Thanks these nugs are the fruits of my labor. I definitely want to try out some other strains before I decide what I like the best.green crack i wont go back lol. nice job
yep that's the mix... 1:1 ratio as opposed to a 1 bag to one bag ratio which would be different. I was gonna add chunky perlite, but I'm hoping the Smart Pots will help the soil aerate more evenly throughout the pot as opposed to drying out on the top first...What soil did you use?

I have seen pictures of your 50/50 mix. Looks like some good stuff. I know exactly what you mean when you add a bunch of perlite and it makes the top dry out faster then the rest. It's an uneven dry. That Smart pot idea is definitely a great one, because It will replace a portion of the perlite in a sense of added aeration and hopefully cause the dry period to become more even throughout the pot. That's one of the reasons I am trying coco next time as well because I hear that the coco literally pulls water around in the medium to ensure it has a consistent wetness instead of a certain spot just staying wet. I am considering either amending the coco 70/30 coco/coco croutons, or just 100% coco in smart pots(those really interest me).yep that's the mix... 1:1 ratio as opposed to a 1 bag to one bag ratio which would be different.
