no you need to start them in a seedling mix in a small container, and then move them up to a 3/4-1 gallon. then when they get a good root system established, you can plant into the big boys... at least that's how i'm gonna do it
I have my big boys on dollies so i can roll them back and forth from veg to flower without disturbing the soil too much. i feel i already compacted 2 of them from not having dollies and moving them about.
if you check out this page of this thread https://www.rollitup.org/t/tga-by-others.339548/page-354 you will see that mason Jar's seedlings are ultra healthy. just with a simple bag of potting soil. that being said... you can also make your own seedling mix if you choose to.From Root Riots starter plugs into 1 Gal. Roots Organic. They were on the sides of 1K in my veg room(18.5 hrs) for 3 days but it's starting to fill up w/ larger veg plants so I had to move them to their own 600w HPS about 18" above. In a week, those larger veg plants under the 1K will go into flower then I can put all Grape Inferno into 3 gal. w/ S.S. under that 1K.I'm not practicing to grow medicine....I'm growing medicine!
I would recommend not transplanting so much. Studies have shown larger yields without transplanting because of disturbance of the roots during transplanting. I would sprout in a small container then immediately transplant to the final container.no you need to start them in a seedling mix in a small container, and then move them up to a 3/4-1 gallon. then when they get a good root system established, you can plant into the big boys... at least that's how i'm gonna do it
i'll give it a try on the next run of four of the same cut i have. 2 i'll do my way, and 2 i'll try like you mentioned. i agree less stress is ideal. i would be fine with only having to transplant once! i always make sure i give the plant recovery time of 1-2 weeks before flipping to flower because of transplant stress.
I'd like to see that! I would do it myself but I only own 3 inch round pots for sprouting. I bet the mycorrhizae makes the effects of transplanting negligible.
will you have the needed time for the nutrients to cycle?
Yea... I would totally make your "soul" first...
Personally i'd just get the mother of all leaf compost piles, and then amend that, and then add aeration and nutrients at the end.
no.. not even close really, sorta like comparing storebought/bagged worm castings vs homemade.
I think it depends on the plant and root system, i just popped some clones and one strains a beast, two are failry beastly, and one is weaker and slower by far (pink kush) and overall I would say transplant the sativas less! Especially the more landrace you go.
