Should I Transfer Them? (1st Grow)

FelixTheCat · Mar 13, 2018

They are 2 weeks old today (since the day they popped out of the soil). I've been feeding ph controlled water only. They Have been under 24h of light (except for the last 3 days I switched to 20/4.

My question is: should I transfer them to their final pot with new soil? I don't see any roots coming out in the bottom, but don't want to wait until they're root bound

here's a pic (any other feedback is also welcomed!)
ps: they're just bag seeds. not auto

I would let them go another week or so before transplant. I usually wait till leaves grow out diameter of pot size then re pot. Just the way I do it.

Pop one out of its pot to get a look at the root development. They’re probably still good in their current pots for a little while

thanks I thought so too, since I'm skipping the 1gallon and putting the straight into 7 galloon pots (only keeping 4 int he tent for flowring)

Hey Felix, don’t think they’re ready for the bigger pots yet. They do look nice, good luck.
What strain are we looking at?

honestly no idea, they are all bag seeds that I've been collecting. most of them came from a sativa ounce that I bought a few months ago full of seeds (there was around 40, it was def a herma then). im afraid i might get all males

Do not skip the intermediate pot size.
You need them to show sex and be big enough to choose which ones to flower.
In fact, I'd consider flowering in smaller pots and put more plants into your flower space.
IMO 7 gallons is more soil than an indoor plant needs.

I've been debating on that... that does sem like a good idea because since they are bag seeds I'm trying to keep them as long as possible to be able to see which are female in order to decide the ones to keep. I thought 7 was a decent size from what i've been reading, and I planned on filling it with 5.5-6 gallon to leave some room at the top. What do you think? I don't think i can flower more than 4 in a 4x4x8 ayways

Those plants can sit there for 6 weeks... I like to build a thick root ball... Less transplant stress and faster water cycles.

oh ok... but isnt that most og veg time? cause I was planning on 2 gallon before 7 galloon and thought that'd happen before flowering
also i thought it'd be better to give them new soil instead of adding nutes

Let it build roots in that... Ditch the 2 and go to 7

Another option and something i've done a lot in the past is to let the plants grow out in smaller pots (i like square ones). If you notice after a while the roots really spinning around in the bottom, slice a 1/2" or so off the bottom and do the same for the sides. If all else is in check, this really doesnt stress your plants out much. At least that's been my experience. The benefit is that it creates a more robust root ball. Again, this is my experience and has worked for me. There's many ways to grow. Use whatever works for you! Try different things. Cannabis is a pretty fucking hearty plant.
