After all transplant or pot up should have a dark period to help reduce shock . Regards OD.

How much or long of darkness should they have?

24 hours and i would go with the fox farm, give it a good flush before putting your babies in the soil.

Appreciate the info fellas. So how much perlite with the foxfarm? Think I'm gonna order some of that for these seedlings.

Large perlite if it's available.

Large perlite if it's available.

Also Don't forget to rinse the perlite !

No particular perlite brand? Vigaro work ok? Just rinse it well before adding and mixing?

You will have 3-4 weeks of nutes in the fox farm ocean forest so you won't have to right away.

Ok.

+1 on the large perlite, bigger air pockets. 25-30% is a lot, and tough to keep watered in outdoor heat. As for MG, just stay away from their potting soil, its loaded with time release nitrogen you don’t want. Their organic soil is a better choice but Foxfarm Ocean Forest or Happy Frog are the “cannabis for dummies” choice. Handful of perlite, handful of vermiculite is enough for a 5 gallon outdoor container. And always rinse anything like perlite, cococoir or vermiculite Before using.

I just ordered a bag of foxfarm. And should I get smaller perlite chunks? It wont be here til next friday but hopefully these guys will be ok til then. I'm sure they will but guess we will see.

They are in MG potting soil. Fingers crossed they will be ok til then. I think they will be the time release stuff in there wont destroy them in 2 weeks time, will it?

It's hard to tell, but i doubt itd destroy them. The roots might be more established so theyll have a bit more shock. And larger perlite will be better.

MG potting soil grows big plants, everybody has used it at first. Theres just better choices for flowering cannabis.
