So when I planted my seeds, I didn't have any $$ and only had miracle grow. Well now I have a bag of Foxfarm. I am of course going to plant new seed in it. But should I transfer the others too? How much of a difference wil it make?

Fox farms is much better than MG and yes there's nothing but gain out of transplanting. Go for it!

Thanks man. I assume I will just have to keep the miracle gro that has formed around the plant.

Yea most of the mg will stay with the roots. How big are the mg plants right now?

Just a couple inches tall. The furthest one along has a set of true leaves with 3 fingers.

If you're careful you could transplant them now to minimize the amount of mg, as opposed to waiting till they've filled their current pot. But be gentle!

No cause you still have that miraclegro in there, its made to release its nutes over 6+ months whereas pot only runs like 3-4. How big of containers are they in right now?

I have moved one of them to a bigger contained since this pic, and it has a bit of room left. The other I might not have a choice in moving anyway, now that i think about it.

Oh yea I would dig those out and put em into the ff. Just be gently, roots aren't big but fragile.

I would just leave them till they're more established then transplant them into the FF.

That way you don't risk ripping roots over something so trivial at this point.

Don't rip your roots that's unnecessary and will stress the crap out of your plant especially at this delicate stage..

Your plants are so tiny they barely have a set of true leaves, nows not the time for transplanting. They are still babies and aren't used to their home yet, wait until it has about 3 sets of leaves At least...I transplant when I have about 6 sets of leaves (aka 6 nodes)
