Moving a planted flowering girl inside???

I have a photo girl that was started in a 3 gallon fabric pot in a greenhouse and during preflower was planted in a nice sunny location outside still in the fabric pot. These fabric pots are the type that won't last more than about 18 months outside. I am sure this girl has probably grown through it during her time in the ground. She has now shown this beautiful purple pheno that her sister has not and I would like to preserve it. In addition, it's getting really cold here (35-60f) so she won't live much longer outside and could go a few more days but snow is coming.

So here is my question. lol Has anyone ever tried digging up an outside girl and bring it inside during full bloom?

My idea is too dig her up preserving as much as the rootball as possible, put her in a drain tray and bringing her inside. Allow her to warm up slowly over a day or so to see if that helps resin production increase if it does let her go a few more days before the chop. in addition, I would like to try and get her to reveg by throwing the lower section after the chop into a Veg tent to see if I can get her to reveg enough to cut a clone.

Am I completely nuts?
 
use a bigass pot

have an area prepared

be gentle

may all work

to be safe

I'd be taking clones and re-veg them

good luck
 
Its risky because you could bring in some bugs that could infect other plants you have indoors. You can root a bud (like a clone from a vegging mother). They root nicely actually if you have had them on a nice hi phosphorus budding formula. Keep those clones under 24 hours of 6500K t-5 lighting. B-12 and rooting hormone. Make some willow water from the green branches of a willow tree. Cut in 1 inch pieces packed into a jar and soak in water for 24 hours. CLONES LOVE IT !!

I have a separate root cellar that I was going to bring her into completely away from all other plants, but good advice about the pests. I never tried rooting buds and certainly don't have any willow trees around me. But I do have clonex, B-12, and perlite and will give that a try. Thanks
 
I've honestly never had much luck digging up a plant at any size but haven't tried in a long time. Like the Russian said big pot, big hole. If your gonna lose it then try, nothing to lose but yup clone it to be safe.

I have a nice big pot for it. LOL That's if I can get it out of the ground. But I'm bored and snow is coming soon so time to make a decision. I will get a clone out of it one way or the other. Yea, and a bunch of bud. :bigjoint:
 
I pulled my last plant 3 days before the first snowfall and it had already endured 3 frosts so yup I pushed the envelope this year :). Kinda big to move though IMG_3110.JPG :).
 
Dug two feet around from where I knew the three gallon fabric pot had been buried and up out if the ground she came. The feeder roots through the side of the pots were encompassed in dirt so had very little damage to the side roots. The tap root on the other hand had gone almost two feet past the bottom of the pot. I grab my girl by the stalk and pulled her up and out of the hole. Put her into a five gallon bucket with holes in the bottom. Once inside the fruit cellar I put her into a tray and watered her down with worm compost tea and left her in the warm, dark cellar.

I will pull her out in a couple days and snap some pics before I cut her apart.
