transplanting in 12/12

hi just wondering if its a good idea to transplant after they have been turned to 12/12?
cheers

transplant before 12x12 wait a week and then flower if you are ready to

YES you can transplant at that photoperiod. just be gentle with the rootball. ive done it alll the way into 3 weeks of flowering..

It can be done, but should be done as early as possible.(and as gently as possible.lol) Expect to tack on at least another week til harvest time, maybe two, and as with any type of stress/interruption, it will have some effect on yield. If it's done in the first week, and done with zero root damage, there might not be any noticeable difference at all, except a slightly delayed harvest. If done in the 4th week, with lots of root damage, their could be lots of drawbacks. You could lose over 75% of the yield, and end up waiting an extra month(or more) for them to mature. Basically...do it as early as possible, and as smoothly as possible, if you absolutely have to do it.

would it be a better idea to put the current pot in a bigger pot and break the current pot away leaving the roots and dirt behind or just the usual transplant method of pulling the pot away from the dirt and everything and placing in a biger pot with more soil?

I would say that breaking the pot away, would be easier on the roots than the old fashioned way. If you can sacrifice the pot, i say go for it.

I'm going to start using cheap grow bags inside of my 1 gallon pots, so that when I transplant to my 'final sized' 3/5 gallon pots, all I'll have to do is carefully slice the sides of the bag, then put the plant in the new pot. It should work awesome. The bags are pretty cheap too, under $20 for 100 of 'em.

After my clones have rooted, they go directly into the 1 gallon pots. Then all i have to do is transplant once, and with those growbags, it will be slick as hell. Awesome.

have u got any tips on clones? i get the jist of it, using clone powder and jiffy pellets but not having any luck. could a humidity dome be the difference between life and death for the clones?

Oh yeah, definitely go with a dome. You can also cut the bottoms off two-liter bottles and use those, if you can get your hands on a dome right away. That's how i started out. The clones can't absorb much water through the cut off stem, so they need to get it by absorbing humidity through their leaves, and like it very humid.

k sweet that helps alot ill get onto it tomorow

I also use jiffy pellets, and didn't have much luck with them at first, and had quite a few die. Here's what i do now, with excellent results.....After I expand the pellets with water, I give them a good squeeze to get alot of the water out. Then I roll them between my hands, squeezing them, which breaks up the peat. You don't really have to do this part, but i'm a freakling perfectionist, so i do it anyway.LOL......I then take a nail and break up the chunks of peat inside the pellet, so it's nice and fluffy. Then I gently form it back into it's original shape, and poke a hole in it with the nail, in the center. Make the hole so that it doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the pellet, and it's a little bigger around than the clipping you plan to use. Now here's the most important part, and the part where I was making the mistake.....Make sure that after you insert the clipping into the pellet, that you give it a nice firm squeeze, forming it around the clone, making sure that it's making good firm contact with the entire length of the clipping. That, is what makes them root well.

Are you already familiar with cutting the 45* angle and everything?
