should i transplant?

id suggest transplanting it soon..it wont cause that much stress..but make sure u transplant it awhile before u put the lights on 12/12 happy smokin

let the dirt dry up a bit beofre transplanting...once transplanted water it with a good amount of fresh water

You saw a nice root development? Or just one small root ?

I mean its obviously rooted just fine so id transplant when it dries out a bit, and veg it up

wouldnt drying it out a bit make the soil more likely to fall away from the roots/main root ball. i usually make sure the soil is moist, not like right after watering but not dry either. just moist so the root ball wants to stay together a little better.

I've heard of people transplanting when the soil is moist, but I personally always wait until the soil is dry to transplant. And I think a majority of others do the same. When the soil is dry, it contracts a bit from the edges of the container making it easier to slide the whole block out in one shot. Some soil always falls away, but i'd say at least 90% of it stays in tact. Then, after I transplant it into the new container, I give it a heavy watering which merges the old soil with the new. If the soil is moist when you transplant, a lot of it ends up sticking to the sides and bottom of the old container, often tearing segments of roots in the process.

I also agree rolla,,,,,,when the soil is wet it tends to break the roots from the soil clumping and just being a little heavy,,, Im sure if you want you can do this however you want but, I feel its always been better (at least in my opinion) to transplant dry then water and I havent lost a plant yet...

yea its deff better to transplant when dry...now we dont mean bone dry like the sand in texas we mean ..dry ..haha wait until 2-3 inches of top soil is dry then transplant...if ur using a disposable plastic pot...get a razor bladend cut right down the side this also makes it easier to transplant..make sure to give it a good dose of water..happy smokin

An alternative to transplanting which I've done successfully is to carefully cut off the bottom of the plant pots with a sharp knife and then place the pot into another larger (and wider) pot filled with soil. No stress no worries Gd luck either way dude, I hope it works out for you.

it looks like youve got some clawing (leaf curling), ive heard it can be caused by heat stress as well as other causes. im not sure but i would guess heat stress, i think it could also be due to the possible root damage during transplanting.

that sucks but weeds are vigerous, shell recover. just give here some time and care and in a week or so youll see her get rid of what she cant keep alive then youll start to see new growth. shell drop/let go of those lower leaves and shell keep that top growing meristem alive at all costs. thats her purpose in life. shell make it, just be patient. dont get bummed. you may just wait a little longer.
