1st attempt (pics) transplant time?

incognegro999 · Jan 25, 2011

Ok so got my setup together and ordered beans,in the meantime I found some bagseed and thought I would practice on that before they arrived. The bigger one sprouted on I think the 14th of this month. This is my first attempt so Im assuming

on transplanting the big one next week sometime to a bigger pot what do you guys think? Also the beans should get here in about a weeks Id say,

would I be better off waiting and just working on these two bag ones for now? I have two 4ft t12 65k's and about 6 cfls mix of 27 and 65k. my c

loset is like 7ft high and 7feet wide but the depth is only about two feet. Im thinking about holding off and seeing what comes of these first.

LOL wow sorry have no idea why the pictures jumped into the middle of the post like that, really makes reading it a pain in the ass

i think you got some time before transplanting..
and i also think it's a good idea practicing and learning with bagseeds.
every experience is a good one!

i'd wait til the root system gets more developed

I usually don't transplant out of a party cup until the plant is at least 6 inches tall.

No need to hurry, as you want the plant to grow roots! Remember that almost half of the plant is the roots.

Here is how I transplant:

clone or seed in rockwool -> 4 oz cups -> 16 oz party cups -> 1 gallon pots -> 3 or 5 gallon pots, depending

At each transplant I want the plant to have roots to the bottom of the pot. Then they explode after each transplant.

Good Growing :weed:

Any thoughts on waiting on the seeds coming in? They should be here in about a week I'm guessing, But I dont think I have the room or the lighting for five plants, since I have alot of height in my closet and not much width I planned on letting these ladies get big.

Dude you can grow to 15" in a party cup.. the longer the better. The whole point is to let the rootball form at the base of the cup.

Golddog you transplant 4 times?? Its not neccasary imo, i go 9-12" in a party cup then transplant to 3 gallon pots and your done.

I do, but it depends. Usually at least 3 times.

I have separate boxes for cloning, vegging, mom's and flower. So it works for me. :bigjoint:

Just what i thought.
I'ts unnecessary to transplant so many times, one transplant from partycups to a 3 gallon container is good enough.

What type of plant, what strain? Any idea? :joint:

incognegro999 · Jan 25, 2011

haha No I wish...the pushers around here call it "haze" but then again anything with some crystals and some nice coloring is called that lol.

rollajoint · Jan 25, 2011

I just plant from party cup sraight into a 3 gal pot done and dusted lol

medicalmaryjane · Jan 25, 2011

I replanted mine into 3 gallon when they were tiny and 2 out of 3 died. I would wait until they are stronger.

WvMade · Jan 25, 2011

I always wait for roots to start comeing out of the drainage holes before i transplant

incognegro999 · Jan 25, 2011

Yah I think what im gonna do is wait until I "feel" like they are ready to move, and then come on here with some more pics and harass you guys some more so I dont mess anything up haha.

Yeah i say just let the cup get rooted for 2 weeks. Then go to your 5 gal... The more you transplant the more of a chance you have to mess anything up... keep it simple. Less stress on the plant the better

My plants are looking extremely healthy after their transplant been 2 weeks now no problem using gold label special mix.
