I heard a rumor that moving your plants, at all. is bad in general for em? when i say moving, i mean. its in a 3gal pot, and im moving it as a whole. 5ft.

true or false :confused:


In order for me to flower, imgonna have to move it to the darkroom :neutral:

lol, moving them how far? Moving an entire crop to a completely new grow setup, bad because of the security risk, and yes the shock, but it wouldn't be overpowering. I have done it and it was fine, just nearly shit my pants when I noticed a cop behind me :P

If you mean moving them from one area of your house to another.... go for it.

Also, why do you have too move them exactly? Why can't you flower them where they are now? Does your light have a timer?

More info about your problem would help determine the appropriate course of action, everything stated is all assuming many many things.

Man, I would just get a timer.... $5 USD, no moving your plant every night and morning at the same time....

If you're flowering it, and you keep messing up the times, and leave it in darkness for 11 hours here, 13 hours here, etc.... could hermie on ya fast.

You can move them without problem, it's just keeping up with the lighting schedule.

If you have light leaks(when your lights are off, there's a source of light, small but getting through), or you just screw with the dark time constantly, i.e. one day 12/12, one day 10/14, one day 13/11.... yes, you can mess your plants up bad and possibly cause them too go hermie. If they don't go hermie, they still won't be at their full potential because it's trying to deal with the stress as opposed to being stress free and growing non-stop....

Get it? Not the best explanation.... but I feel I got some point across :mrgreen:
