Repotting

[EMP]

i currently have my plants that i grew from seeds in little pots, bout 500ml pots.

 

looking at the bottoms of them i can see little roots poking out, is it time to repot?

 

and whats a good sized pot to replant them in.

10 ltr's is a minimum somewhere between 10 and 30 is good though it's up to how big your gonna make your girls the bigger the plant the bigger the root system needs to be to feed and support the plant

pot size will depend on your room size. obviously the 400 fits in nicely so you have what?, 2x3...maybe 1/2 dozen cheap buckets in there. pures right with what he says in that you need more room for more roots/more plant. under 400w you could even use a fair few 8" pots and turn the light over at 3-1/2 weeks...or use cuttings. no definitive answers mate, tell us the size of your cupboard and you can get a better answer from that.

 

take it easy...

I normally wait till i get a slight mass of roots (i.e. slightly rootbound)..before transplanting. This makes it easier to transplant without any damage to roots...and also promotes a healthy root system. Just enough so the roots cling together enough to hold the soil together..go too long, and your plant may take a little more time to realise it's free!!!!

big pot emp, seems to make better pot ....... imo

hee hee... yeah, I'd have to agree with that everest.

heh cool, and i know what you mean by root bound, where the roots hold the soil togteher enough to make transfering easier.

 

but i got like a 40/60 perlite/soil mix. the perlite is pritty loose in there, might be harder to tell when rootbound.

 

i can see roots from the holws in the bottom of the pots, and growth has slowed down, so is it safe to say they are rootbound already?
