Need dire advice

I've been nuturing an outdoor inground female for a while now, and I'm soon to become discovered. My neighborhood hired contractors to power wash all of the patio fencing in my neighborhood. Shes about 3-4 weeks into flowering and I have to pull her now. Shes about 4 foot tall, heres what I got: 6gal bucket, 400w hps + ballast, and fans. I really have to take her inside for the last few weeks, but I guess the question is how? I've looked throughout the grow faq and read the tutorials on transplanting and I think I have a good grasp but I don't want to screw it up. If any one has any advice, good tips, proper procedure, all would be helpful. I'll post pics

I wish you the best of LUCK.. DIG DEEP as FOOK...

it would be truly amazing if your successfully transplanted a plant that big...

I suspect a serious shock to the plant will occur... IF possible DO NOT hity the roots...

GET the biggest container you can find.. normaly a plant that big could grow in a 3-8 gallon containe.. but I suspect thatthe roots are all over the fooking place since it is inthe ground..

I wish I had some special words for you... please keep us posted.... I am curious how this turns out..

i'm rooting for you

love

what happens if the plant does go into shock? how do I recover it? for a 4x3 foot plant how wide spread are the roots? how big do I have to dig? I don't want it to die, but I don't want to get discovered.

its just one plant man - if the contractor even notices it, then first he would have to know how to differentiate cannabis from other plants, so if he can do that, he either a) smokes/ed, b) is a horticulturist, c) is former law enforcement.


Not many cops are going to retire to power washing, so you can count out C. B is probabilistically unlikely. A is only a problem if he comes back to steal it. Most likely case is they won't think twice - it is an in ground plant after all.


Plus you are most likely going to have a Mexican doing the actual work - seriously unless they steal it you have nothing to worry about as I don't see that guy snitching under any circumstances. If he is even legal in the first place....


Consider the current political climate of the country - even rednecks are becoming disenfranchised by big gov - at this point I venture to say the majority of American's want as little to do with the state as possible, meaning they are not going to take hours out of their day to help the gov make more money unless you specifically do something to effect them.


Depending on your soil conditions, your roots could be as much as ten meters out. I seriously think you should just leave it - if you move it you *will* stress it and you *will* sacrifice a lot of or all of the yield. Worst case the plant dies and the buds start to degenerate to mold. Almost makes more sense to just harvest if you are really that paranoid.

If she is in a 6 gal bucket and you move her inside under a 400 you will do just fine. Get yourself a digital timer. You can lookup the sunrise/sunset tables for your area.(On the internet-google it) If you're gonna move her back outside, just replicate the sunrise/sunset on your timer. Good Luck.
