Transplant troubles!

[Frazz]

To reduce transplant shock it is better to transplant as they go into their night/rest period IMO

That makes sense.

That is what my nanna says you should transplant at night as it dosent stress them as much as thay are in like sleep mode.

Hey all! New member here and was searching the posts but didnt see this one unless I overlooked it.

Area is 3'x4'x7' stuffed with (16) 11 inch tall already been topped plants(from seed).Soil is Jungle growth w/fert. Almost 400 cfm for vent with 400 watt HPS. (JUST switched from 400 halide Today!AND set them to 12/12) also has 2  , 400 watt red spectrum flouresants(so they say, they are bright and cooler)

They are all in 2 gallon pots and on some can see roots thru holes on bottom.(not hanging out bad) Question is will it be ok to transplant them into the 5 gallon pots soon as I see what sex they?? I can only fit 6 plants in there in 5 gallon pots...If so any way to reduce stress?

hopefully in a couple weeks some can be trashed(males) and would be nice to get 6 out of the 16

only flowering food I have is shultz super bloom,

Thanks for any tips or advice :thumbsup  ps...pics coming soon :smoke

Those babies will be tranplanted into 5 Gal. right b4 bedtime then as soon as they show me what they are. :thumbsup 2nd day 12/12 and gave plain water today, they need water every 2-3 days says the moisture meter i use.(i sure hate driving that spike into the roots to get reading) Thinking maybe a weak dose of shultz super bloom next watering :scratchin I didnt mention i have 4 inch dryer hose running about 15 feet from window a/c unit into the "box" with 2 small fans at bottom and 2 exhaust fans with filters at top. air flow may be too much i dunno :scratchin .plants are not moving around too much. hmmm I think pics are needed :thumbsup

ever heard of double potting ?

one thing about mj. it likes it rough. you dont want to give em 2 much tlc. just like any life form. if u pamper it to much it will be a pussy. but if it has a hard time of things it will turn out strong in the end. i allways rip at least an inch or two of the roots off the bottom and an inch arround when repotting.

just like when you prune n trim up top you get new vigourous growth. well the same goes for the roots. rip into em bro :thumbsup
