K well i have 3 plants in about 8 inch pots, but they are almost twice the size of the pot after a month and its hybrid strains that i am using. So i have my 5 gal buckets ready but i do not know the safest way to transplant i hve transplanted 3 times but i did rip some root hairs off one and stunted the growth a little bit and i do not want that to happen before flowering. Pls culd someody give me their strategy of tranpsplanting that always work for u
ok, well its easiest to let the soil dry out pretty good. that way its easier to get out of the pot and move all the soil without dropping it everywhere. just try not to rip anything off.
My method, Lets the pots get pretty dry...that way all the soil sticks together and you dont get that crumbling around the roots get the other pots ready with enough soil at the bottom just a layer. Then turn the pot upside down, but make sure youve put your hand over the whole top of the dirt with the stem between your ring finger and your middle finger...then squeez the pot so it releases. Viola! you have your plant and a chunk of earth in your hands....i find the next part eaiser with a friend but you can achieve it by yourself... grab the bottom of the dirt before you flip it back over...and when you do flip it back over flip it straight into the ready pot. put some dirt around the sides and there you have it.
I agree with thatssojewish except for the dry soil. I like to make sure the soil is moist so it clings together better around the root-ball.
Do i want to bring all of the dirt out of the whole pot????????? and can u tell me how to get the root bal. I dont even know where it is
