Transplanting Larger Plants

[reapr1990]

Need someone to shed some light on transplanting and there experiences. I'm a little worried I just transplanted this and that's currently its new pot. All looks well but alot of soil came off the roots. When I broke it free and roots were damaged, I hope to hear from any stories regarding transplanting etc. Mainly along the lines of transplanting larger plants.

I mixed this with 70%coco 30%perlite, Placed in shade been well watered. I have been hitting it with a hair spray bottle every few hours to see how I go.

Heya mate, a bit of weak seaweed solution in a watering can, will do the roots a treat, maybe do a light mix in a sprayer and spray every few days, she looks fine.

That will just help her settle well. peace. Nibbler.

about 20 hours after the transplant,  I gave her another water and misted the leaves with a spray bottle every time I went out back, she's looking quite good. Before I removed her from the pot yesterday I gave her an extremely good watering I thought it might help and looks good so far.

I would'nt stress about it.  An established plant like that can handle a bit of abuse, might slow it down briefly, but wont do any real harm.  When I used to grow indoor hydro we had a few occassions were we would have a rental inspection etc and I would have to pack up the kit.  I would take my plants out of the clay balls, whack em in pots of dirt, and take em bush for a couple of days, then reverse the process washing of the soil first, never killed a single plant.  Having said that, I would look to avoid shocks like that during flowering if possible.  Looks healthy, hope you get a good smoke out of it.

Mate I've halved the rootballs on plants that size and they were off and running after just a couple days. Don't worry about it.  If you're worried about dead root mass potentially effecting the rest of the rootszones health, use an enzyme product, such as cannazym or multizyme

I put in in the sun after 2 days in the shade, was going to leave it for an hour or 2 and come move it back under shade agian but was not able to get back in time, it ended up staying there for 4 - 5 hours in the sun, was not looking very good when i got back, was droppy and all leaning over to the ground looked like someone had layed a sheet of metal across the center of it, well this is the day after the accident so it looks like its gettting better.

also is this a male or female or unable to tell yet?
