When To Transplant? -need answer asap-

[SiXFeEtDeEp]

Ok i have a 5 day old plant which roots are already out of the drain holes. should i transplant?

[elway07]

yes, but transplant it to a pot that you think will be the largest you will need throughout the duration of it's growth. Transplanting a lot can stress the plant and stunt growth, so try to transplant it just once.... Good luck

[elway07]

oh also...do not leave roots exposed....take from one straight into another!!

[busteruk7]

elway you took the words right out of my mouth
nice one
do everything elway said and your do fine
cheers all :)

cant see why anyone would need to transplant a five day old plant but have no idea what you are using for a pot.
they dont need much soil for the first couple of weeks a seedling starter tray with the small square holes or small rockwool cubes is plenty and wouldnt be concerned if you saw some rooots coming out of the drainage holes.

Roots already? Whoa. My plant is 5 days old, and 6 inches tall. It's already starting it's 2nd pair of serrated leaves. I'm kind of concerned about transfering mine as well, once those 2nd set of leaves fully show up. I've been told that a plant isn't supposed to mature this fast. But I yet to see roots. I'm using peat pellets for my seedling for about 3 weeks...unless I absolutely HAVE to transfer, due to this rigerous growth. 6 inches in 5 days. Shit. Lmao. I've already had to tie the stem to a support because of this. It's nuts.

[elway07]

no not weird at all. I feel the same about mine. Although I guess in this case..girls best friend...LOL

[busteruk7]

lol yeah
cheers all :)

thx guys.

they was in maybe a cup size pot. (meaning could fit a cup of dirt)

2 roots were appearing out the bottom and was starting to harden. so i cut the top of a 2 lt. and put holes in the bottom. taped the sides with electircal black tape so the light can't hit the roots.

gave her a good water and an't goin to touch for 3-4 days.

np on the hijack.

only problem i had is the soil aorund the plant and roots started falling apart but i think they;'ll be ok.

[elway07]

yeah they should be fine...they were just real dry.... I water mine about every 4-5-7 days depending on pot size... don't let em get real real dry but almost that dry if that makes sense... do you have nutes for when the time comes etc???

[elway07]

hey buster... I never see you on MSN anymore did you change your name?

[busteruk7]

same name m8 just that i sign in under invisible mode alot
i havent seen you on there eighther im looking at msn now and cant see your name lit up lol
cheers all :)

[elway07]

im invisable a lot too!! LOL

[SiXFeEtDeEp]

add me fuckers :p _______________^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

uhhh don't got the nutes yet but im thinking Earth Juice and Earth Bloom. flush last 2 weeks of flower. goin to be a short grow. 2 weeks veg rest flower.do you guys think i should still use Earth Juice for (N) while flowering or skip it and go to Bloom?

[elway07]

i use fox farms "grow big" for veg and "tiger bloom" for flowering. I also have used from beginning to end 1/4 tsp of superthrive in every gallon I have fed and they loved it. You can find fox farms at your local hydro store and is arguably one of the best brands you can go with. Also , in case you do not have it yet. A must must must for a successful grow will need to but the general hydrponics ph system with drops for testing your water/nute ph with ph+ and ph- solutions. you need the oh you feed your plants with to be roughly around 6.5 ph and this will indeed prevent a lot of problems in the future of your growth.
Do use the grow nutes during veg stage and use them during your first week of flowering as it isn't a complete shock to your plants to go through light shock and nute shock at the same time after your first week of flowering then begin the flowering nutes. Yes flush before your last two weeks of flowering and you should be good to go... anymore questions just ask...
Hope this helps

im invisable a lot too!! LOL

thx but it don't answer my question.

ok its day six and im ONLY veging for another 8-9 days. After that im goin to start flowering. its goin to be a small first indoor grow.

ok i hear your not supposed to start inducing nutes until AFTER 2-3 weeks. so im thinking i skip the veg nutes and go streight for the "tiger bloom" if i go with foxfarm.

or can i add the "grow" big for the first couple weeks of flowering so that the plant at least gets some N.

i understand the ph thing. just can't it yet. or won't be able to depending how the rest of the year goes.
