transplanting dramas

[loylty gets u nothing]

hey guys

ive done it this time

i got 2 x bubblegun and 2 x m6o all livin together in the 1 15 ltr tub

i have sx and they are 2 x girls and 2 x boys

now they need to be seperated, but i imagine i have roots intertwined with each other all over the shop

i dont really care much 4 the boys but the girls are so beautiful

i want to seperate them and move em to bigger pots

ill throw ythe girls in a 30-0mm pot toghether

 

now guys wats my best approach to this dramas

i was thinking a rooty soak to seperate then maybe try to save as much girl roots and pot em up

any1 else got any ideas

thanks in advance for the ideas guys

peace

well i wouldn't have had them all in there to begin with

 

but what i would do personaly is slap myself for putting them all in there to start with then i would chop the males off as close to the soil as i can and fuck them off

then i would soak all da roots in some water and repot i dont think it gonna matter if there are any roots from the males left over as they will die off within a few days

 

cheerz

 

nice looking plants by the way

just seperate them, they will come apart fairly easy.... any roots you damage will grow back.. they will go into shock for little while.. but if your indoors they will be looking great at the end of the first day... give them a soda water spray... it will help with the recovery rate

Hey Billo ,

Some more nice lookin little plants ...

Yeah man , No worries ... They should seperate very easily as they are still only fairly small.

So get those babies in their new homes quicksmart man. Go on now ... What you waitin for ...

Oh yeah , and just be careful as you can man ...

Transplanting doesn't have to result in any shock In my experience Well maybe a couple of hours , But nothing you would really notice.

 

O.k. Good luck withem ..

Seeya later

imo the easiest thing that could be done would be to fuck the roots off entirely and grow some new ones by taking the entire female plants as cuttings... if they are too big for that, take a decent cutting from the females, cut the males out from the base of the stem and hope that the mothers and clones live

I've never had a problem in this situation, just water a couple of hours befor u transplant and give them a good water after u transplant (which should be done just before dark) The only shock I've noticed was a few days slowed growth.

 

By the way do u get any prob going from under lights to outdoors. I find I get alot of leaf burn untill they get established ? any ideas ?

mongy man

i dont just dump em out in the open sun

i build it up for them leave em in the shade and introduce em to a couple of hours of full sun daily increasing daily.

within a week , 9 days they are ready to go into ground

hope it helps

peace

Don't be over worried about tearing a few roots off, you'll be lucky if you notice and slow down of growth.

I recently had to move 16 plants in a 1.2m square E & B tray by myself because of security issues (Neighbour 16yr old kid was getting too curious about what was behind the closed study door damn nosey prick). Of course the plants being about a month old at the time had a bed od interwoven roots covering the whole tray between the pots but having no choice I just tore them apart then jammed them all into crates while I moved the tray and stand as well as the res and all the electrical stuff then set it all back up in another room that no visitor would walk by. 6 hours later I had everything setup again and the plants were looking a bit sad and sorry but by the next morning were looking better than ever and never even slowed in growth (noticably anyway).

These things are weeds and grow like em, they are a hell of alot tougher than you'd think. About the only time I wouldn't risk this is if they were in flower, mainly because I'd be worried about any stress causing hermies.
