    Default A few issues, can ya help?

    Heya guys, plants are looking good, theres only one problem. Its about time to transplant them, and being a blue collar labor-mule, the next 2 weeks are going to be tight, so I only had half a small bag of potting soil. I had enough to fill my new containers with about a 3rd of the new potting soil, and had to go hammer out some fresh dirt from an old garden, wich was real fun being that its winter and all and tommorrow morning there will be 7 inches of snow on the ground. Anyway sorry m rambling, so heres my question, having tilled the potting mix with the new yard soil and adding a pinch of nutes just incase the soil is a bit baron, you think that will be adequate?
    I hate doing things the mickey mouse way, but atleast for now my options are slim. Also, should I wait until the soil is room temperature, or you think the cold soil could hurt the plants? I hate handling them and doing stuff like this because I am attached to them now lol. These poor little plants put up with enough molestation and Id really like to harvest atleast a sad attempt at marijuana, so I can say I made plenty of mistakes but it was atleast succesfull. Any ideas?

    I would say your pretty clear...

    I would heat up the soil for just a bit, to loosin it up and relieve those dirt chunks from the bitter cold.

    Yea, this snow is a killer man.. Making my basement freeze FREEZE

    Out in ohio we got some good accumilations.. 1 ft+ up north, 3-12'' mid and southern ohio,

    Where i'm at we got about 9 inches right now of snow and Ice, + the next 6 inches tonight...

    Damn snow... Since we talking about the snow.. I was thinking about collecting snow and using it for water... (lol)
    heard co2 is higher in the weather, and it being snow, compacts it.. perhaps good watering water??

    But on the dirt issue, just watch for pests and parasites, be fragile with your babies

    They should be okay. If there were any bugs in the soil the freeze should have killed them. Just let the dirt warm up and transplant. Good luck!
