So today i was swapping my little ones which are only a week old but are flowering, into a big pot for each Because i grew 3 in a medium size pot indoors to get a jump start on growing and anyways I was putting each into separate large pot and when i was taking one out with plenty of soil around it, it broke apart and the root was totally exposed so i placed it in the large pot with the same soil the same depth it was at and watered the new soil... Is this going to kill it? i sure hope not, the root wasn't damaged at all... :o anything i should do other then wait and see?

I'm growing outside now in large pots which i placed in the ground until they get a bit larger then i will plant in the ground, Its in the 70's and sunny around here :)

Thanks for your help, ill be taking pictures as they get bigger..

hey dont worry
the light only hurts roots if they are exposed for a large amount of time
having them exposed while transplanting to another pot is totally fine
cheers dude :)

Buster right, they'll be fine!

It's only when they are exposed for a long time, now personally i belive his true, but some people say it doesnt make a differnce, although better to be safe than sorry.
