np bro, i'm always glad i can help. deff do a lil reading on transplanting as I've never done it and have no idea where to go about doing it. I'd say practice with a couple of pots of just pottoing soil and practicing with that. have a good one, i gotta get back to work!!

Yikes this all sounds worse than it probably is
Good luck transplanting, I just transplanted a tomato plant from hydro to soil.
But I just plucked it out and shoved it into the soil, gave a good solid foliar feeding and it shot up about an inch over night, lol.
Wish it was that easy with herb.
Will be looking in on your progress and best of luck sorting this out.

I think i may film the whole process... So you guys can share the pain. I fear it may be the end of my plants when i transplant them... I mean i'll be planting them back in the same pots, so where the hell do i put the plants when im emptying their pots and re filling?! lol i may need a helping hand..

They are in a large rock wool cube so the majority of the root mass will be in there. So i gues my best bet is to dig around the top carefully then work my way down. Actually i think it wont be too bad, just very fiddly. It'l be worth it if i pull it off.

Hope the transplanting went well, they look strong enough to make it through it.
I had used MG moisture control soil (21-7-14) with my first batch of seedlings and between transplanting, the soil, added nutes, and my inexperience, I lost all but one seedling. I am sooooo glad I got them out of it. I even started a thread about the stuff and got strong opinions on both sides. Miracle Grow Moisture Control Soil, mostly bad but not all, some people swear by this stuff.
Good luck and I hope all goes well for you, they've been looking so good this far (just read through your whole journal).

Day 29:

What a fucking nightmare....

Id like to apologize for the wall of text/ photos to follow this.

In short i had to transplant my plants due to my idiotic mistake of using Miracle grow soil. In total there are 20 odd photos to follow. And i think the plants suffered...

Now in detail...


So i grabbed some bags of compost and soil that i had in the yard to prepare with perlite. Everything seemed fine until i got to my second transplanting (Mary) Where i ran out of bloody soil.... SO i had no choice but to add some of the soil from before. How ever i water logged this then squeezed it dry and repeated this two or three times to try and flush out as much of the nutrients as i could. Besides this soil was only to cover the top two inches or so...

Anyway heres the photos.

So heres Jane... as you can see she is suffering from what i assume is nute burn.. More so by the day.



It almost hurts to look at these photos






Right so this is when i first started to remove the soil. This was difficult because i didnt know where the roots would start etc.


This is the root clump from when i doug around it..


After bloody ages i managed to get rid of most of the soil. Had to be very delicate and softly rub the dirt away. This went alot better than i thought it would, im pretty confident that i did this with minimal root damage.


So thats Jane done.. She had wilted a bit when it was all done.

Now my pride and joy, Mary.

Before transplantation so you can see her growth. She hasnt been affected too badly by the burn but there are signs.




New growth below:


size comparison:


At the bottom of her tray was all of this residue i guess its a mixture of nutes etc.


Anyway beginning of soil removal..


Her roots were much more vast which is probably due to the fact shes developing alot faster and bushier.




And this is the point where i ran out of normal soil...


Now this is them back in the grow area (I bought them new bigger pots and they barely fit lol


After the transplantation both plants wilted noticeably. Jane particularly looks really down. So im a bit worried, only time will tell...

Jane:


Mary:


Mary:


Jane:


And thats it. Sorry about the massive post... Im kind of gutted it seemed by grow was going brilliantly. Too good to be true. Just got to keep my fingers crossed over the next few days and hope they pick up!!!

Cheers for your patience and for popping by!

TGP.

Edit: forgot to mention that the soil was warm throughout. Would this be a problem? i cant really see anyway for my to prevent this to be honest. Wasnt sure if it is an issue or not.

Right now im worried like hell... Its been about three hours or so since the transplant and Mary is fucked... The nute burn seems to have taken a hold as alot of the leaves have really begun to dry out. And shes wilted completely... Im so gutted this whole grow was going so so well.. Cant believe i cocked up on something so damn simple!

Mary:
