what kind of soil? reason i asked is what i bought was only good for about 9 days.
i asked the same question.. and best and stupid easy to remember.. if you have to start watering every day, time to transplant.
chris.
I would wait until you can let the soil dry out a bit then pop one to see if they are robust and filling the cup. What you don't want is to become rootbound. That stresses the plant along with the subsequent transplant.Hello,
It's week 3 and 1 day since they broke ground (St. Paddys Day)
I'm thinks of transplanting them tomorrow into 2 gallon containers for 3 weeks until final home of 15 gallons.
I've also been under 4 philips led 5000k light bulbs for seedling but have a nice 12 cob led array awaiting for when plants are ready.
My questions are:
1. Am I good to transplant yet?
2. When do I switch to more intense light
3. Is it better to transplant when soil is dry or wet as I watered Friday night.
Any other advice is appreciated.
Thank you.
I agree with what your sayn. I have had several runs where I just go straight to final flower container and they really like that. pop em and germ them in their final shoes. ;):smoking:My best results have always come from disturbing and stressing the roots the fewest times possible. Whenever possible I try to start seeds in the pots I will flower them in. I never go thru the cup step then 1 or 2 gallon pot then move into the final pot. Transplanting is just opening the door for torn roots and odd fungus and bacteria to invade. Less transplants = happier plants. The only exception to this practice is if you have very limited space for growing and are unable to start in the bigger pots. Dont let them get root bound more often than you absolutely have to. Just my opinion.

It only appears to give a growth spurt because you stunt the growth of the plants by slowing them down in the transplanting process. Additionally it appears this way because they will stop growing each time they are transferred because of the damage to the root system caused by transplanting and the stress recovery time.
On a side note you must be planning to grow some real monster plants in 15 gallon pots.
sweet fish tank :)

I mentioned shock and he said benefit out weighs negative.
However I needed to so it is what it is :) I like making things hard apparently haha
Going to be vegging for 2 months and then flowering for 8-10 weeks.
Doing SCROG each has its own SCROGCO.
Two of my plants will be moved into 20 gallons as they will veg for 4 months and then I'll take 15 -20 clones and then flower them.
That's the plan anyways
Have the clone king 36
I have 6 of these cloners. Beware! The collars do NOT fit well in the cups. You have to force, and I mean force them into the net pot. Causing the stems to snap. I had to drill and widen out 150 holes, buy new net pots and collars in order for it to work. They use the cheapest net pots, it found in most Hydro stores.
I have 120 net pots and 150 collars FREE. Can only be used with this aero cloner due to the size of the net pot holes.
36 site crowds the cutting too much. Reason why I bought th 25 site.
