Newbie here, I just changed 6 plants over to 12/12. I also transplanted my babies for the second and last time. The first time I transplanted I got a little bit of shock. Nothing the plants couldn't fix themselves. I wanted to know if I should expect transplant shock agian. I have not fed any flower nutes yet. Waiting to hear what you guys have to say.

Your plants will experience some shock. Make sure you water them in the new pot and you can give them some nutes too. You will see an angry plant for a day or so, but it should revocer well if healthy.

I always feed and water my babies when I transplant, it usually relives much of the stress for them, give em extra ventilation and some CO2, and I have never noticed a flinch in transition.

Thanks, I watered when I transplanted. Not too much, just enough to wet the new soil. Can't wait to see them grow even more.

I would give them a good watering, with some nutes to start in the new pots. Depending on the size of your pots, you should only need to water every 7 to 10 days. Good Luck,

I moved from 1 1/2 gal to 3 gal pots. Should I keep the nutes at 1/4 strength or can I go 1/2. The plants are quite healthy and range is size from 18 1/2" to 25".

You could go half this time and full next watering.

going half, to full might be a bit to big of a increase. I would go 1/2 to 3/4. If your plant gets burned at 3/4th, then atleast it wont be as bad as if you go full. And if the plant dosnt get burned at 3/4, then you can just go to full next time.

Better to be safe then sorry
