    Default HELP: Concerns with transferring from soil to flood tables..

    I've got six ladies potted in 3 gal pots about 2ft in height and want to transfer them to a flood table. I have some concerns with stressing the fuck out of the plants but I feel like they should be fine going into hydrotan as long as I make sure the roots are free of any debris or whatever right? Correct me if I'm wrong which I probably am, thank you in advance.

    Be very, very gentle and very, very careful. Use cool to cold, ph balanced water, with a root treatment like No-Shock and/or Superthrive.

    You're probably not going to be able to get everything out of the roots.

    Good luck

    Ez stuff I do it all the time.. and am doing it right now/./. its no big deal and low stress.. the most stress is YOU. let the pots dry// take them out.. I would LITELY wash the root ball. I would put it in your medim or net pot/wclay and let the water wash the dirt off for a few days... just tap water/... with daily changes.. takes about 4-6 water changes to be clear.. can be done in 2 hours or 2 days// you time.

    Plants are not kittens... I beat the crap out of mine and they all do great//. if you can grow you are fine. just dont RIP the roots out of the dirt.. all this fine hair is BS.. plants GROW in much worse conditions just fine, they dont need to be babied even thought we do.

    Mucho gracias amigo. I didn't think it'd be too much of a problem until a friend of mine thad told me it was all bad and it would shock the ladies. And the flush method makes hella sense, it seems a lot easier than trying to rinse them out by hand or any other crazy ass way. Much appreciated, I'll let you know how it turns out buhd.
