Transplanting

Hi, clone girls are getting big in their 5 gallon grow bags. Question is whether to skip moving up in incremental transplants, or go ahead and put into final 65 gallon grow bags? Also thought about 100 gallon, but is that really going to help yield?

you can get more out of a 100 than a 65, but you can still get a buttload out of a 65...guess it depends on what kind of goal you're trying to meet. you can always go with 65s, and if they seem to be holding you back, throw them into 100s, good thing about cloth pots, easy to just throw them into the new pot.

There is not long before flower. I would get them transplanted to Final pot right away. 100 gallons would be better for yield if you act soon.
We are in northern CA in the Foothills, first time growing, so learning as we go. These are all hybrid clones, that we didn’t get until Memorial weekend, weaned off 24 hr lights to the outside; transplanted twice. Since clones don’t get a tap root, and we’re growing outdoors, we’re not finding really clear information.

plant em good and deep, and be prepared to stake them up, or use trellis net...or both. it's not a huge issue unless you have high winds or extended dry periods.

Clones are fine outside, transplant at night to avoid heat stress. Use some mycos on the roots.Wet down the pot like completely soaked. You will be fine.

The primary reason I'd put them into big pots is because any pot bigger than 5 gal
Is basically immobile.

I don't even use them any more, I go from a 1 gal pot straight to the big ones.

Yeah they are impossible to move unless you let them dry out or you have them already on pallets.

200gals don't fit on pallets...
Put a few 6 ft 2x4s down, problem solved. You will need an off road fork lift if you are in the dirt. Reach boom is nice.. I don't move my pots around once full. They stay in one spot for years at a time.
