Hi All! I am transplanting my 5 week old plants into 3 gallon pots from 16oz plastic beer cups. Now I have a few questions.....I know to leave about 2" from the top of the pot, for the soil. But how far down do you put the root ball? My plants are a little leggy because of lighting situations so what I am wondering is ...can I plant them a little deeper this time? Or do they have to be planted the same depth as the last container? Also can I put 2 plants in one pot together?? Advice about this one please? As I don't have a lot of room for so many(8) 3 gallon pots. Also...is it a good idea to switch lighting times once transplanted? They are on 18/6 now and are 5 weeks today. Last Question......LOL...... when is the ideal time to switch lighting to 12/12? Thanks in advance to anyone and all that can help me. I would also appreciate quick response to these questions as I wanted to do the transplanting tonight, before they have to be watered again. I have some pics if anyone is interested, let me know and I will post them. Highly Thankfull,
I appreciate the help and great info. As you can tell this is my first time at this. But I am enjoying watching my babies grow!! I am wondering if maybe I can post some pics of the better babies and you can see if you can tell sexes yet? I would really like to plant a couple of containers of 2 plants each container, if they are females of course and I don't know if it's too early to tell or not? I was also wondering how soon after transplanting can I fertilize again? And you also say to make sure the plants soil is wet when I change containers?????? And when do I know that I am ready to start flowering/budding?????? Sorry for being such a p.i.t.a. with all the questions but I really don't want to learn from my mistakes!! Thanks again and I look forward to your reply
