I just double potted my plant wich has been on 12/12 for two weeks exactly. I have heard this is a excellent way of doubling even tripling your yield if done while in vegetation. Double potting is not exactly a full transplant, which can cause stress that may show up in the flowers aka hermies. Has anyone done the double pot transplant after initiating 12/12? Results? ( I know alot of the results will be strain dependant.)
Has anyone ever double potted a grow? Or is this a rookie session?
Just so you rookies know, 1 inch of growth over night since double pot transplant, dramatic flower growth as well.....
This i thought was a pretty standard type deal, i have always started my flower in small pots. Mainly to tell the sex before putting them in their final pots.
define "dramatic flower growth" please, at 12/12 for 2 weeks how much "bud" could possibly be there?
and how long did you keep them in veg?
I had the plant in vegetation for 6 weeks under 350 watt of warm white flouros. Now under 600 watt hps. Very noticable increase in pistals.
You should read up on what double potting is....
oh ye of such a brilliant mind, please indulge us with a tiny particle of your vast knowledge...
just how the hell did you become such an expert on double potting over the past 24 hours??? you get 1 lousy inch of new growth and this makes you an expert? let's see some pics, maestro...
The benefits I see in double potting is that it's easier than doing a transplant and you get the benefits of the larger pot (larger root mass). The negative is that you end up ruining the pots since you cut the bottom out of it so you can't really reuse them.
The increase in size is due to going into 12/12, they hit their stretch period which is why they took off, I wouldn't solely attribute it to double potting which is just seems to me a different way of transplanting. And also you increased the lights from 350watt fluro to 600HPS, that's a big lumen difference. More photosynthesis = more growth.
Yes Philly, good points indeed. I cant attribute all the growth to the lights, being they were already under 12/12 for two weeks before the dp. I am suprised that not more people do the double pot. The roots really take off (roots=growth=flowers). Not only that but it will secure your plant will not have root overgrwoth or any other "root" issue.....
The regular potting method has always worked fine for me, never had any problems. I don't like the thought of destroying pots just to transplant. Plant pots (where I live anyway) are not that cheap, the cost of replacing them with every crop would mount up. I consider this an Unnecessary expense, plus I'd have to keep going back and forth to the DIY store which I could not be arsed doing.
i like transplanting for the simple fact of examining the roots and removing any dead growth or checking for any problems. yes, i am a rookie, but so what.
double potting is just a non messy way of transplanting... it's not going to give you a bigger yield or increase the potency... it's just a way of transplanting
O brilliant one!!!!! You have done nothing for the root ball it's still held back by the first pot. All you did was give the end roots more room to search for nutrients and spread out. Before you start calling everyone a rookie you should think twice.
So much to teach the children, you send them to school, buy them books, and what do they do, use the pages to roll joints. Some day the children will learn.
Oh so sensitive...The reason for a double pot has nothing to do with wasting pots, looking at roots, sexing the plant or any of the other bullshit. It is soley for increasing the mass of the stalk and branches. This allows for more dense and lush buds beacause of the stalk size and support for bud growt..Refer to the Cannibis Bible page 71..... Now whos the rookie? Ok, well now you kids know...thank me later posers.
hey, i am the rookie over here.....i started my growth from seed into 2 gallon pots.....i am in week 5 12/12 , day 33/56 and my ladies look gorgeous.....what the hell is doublepotting anyway? i had the problem/question of what might happen if i did not transaplant my ladies into larger pots......one wise guy here told me ''look at the plants, they'll tell you what they need''.....i am glad that i did not transplant them.....two of them i know they are root bound.....even so the ladies are only a little bit more thirsty.....watering on every day basis solves any problems as long as you have top quality soil for the plants to grow into......anyway, will post my usual update on them in two days.....what i would like to add in here is that judging from i my grow i can say the following comments on our ''expert'' here.....your plants have not grown so much because of what you did with the pots......week 1&2 of 12/12 not many things happen....only a few pistils here and there....week 3 you see the first signs of budding....also, 340 watts of floros is not 340 watts of hps....i hope you get my point here and believe that it is not nesessary to say any more......ie....if you add a 1000watt hps alongside to your 600 watt hps i am very confident that you will see a growth of two-three inches every day.....ROOKIE :)
well jl, in my rookie opinion, your the poser. id rather transplant the right way instead of the lazy way like you.
what do you think proper transplanting does?Quote:

take care and I hope you get 1 to 2 pounds from each plant.
I'm sorry. in no way did I mean to imply that double potting is a lazy technique. Im sure it works fine if thats what you wanna do. That asshole with his new book looking down his nose at people pissed me off and I didnt know what else to type at the moment. Plus that big bowl didnt help much.
HAHAHAHA you guy are hilarious arguing over double potting well first things first i dont know if you will yield higher but they do say more roots more fruits but the thing is if your gonna cut the bottom off the pot ok that may be easy or more practical for you nooblets with 10 plants or something but for a guy like me with over 1100 plants in 1 galon pots i really doubt wasting all that money on new pots every month is gonna be benficial to my pocket just a thought hahaha nooblets.
Ego's (no not the damn waffles..those are Eggo's) will not get you far in growing...
Grow your own way.. if it doesn't work, then try a different way. Don't call people rookies, because chances are.. you're more of a rookie then you know. There isn't a rightor wrong way to grow.. only your way. you need advice? ask. you want to give advice? don't be a dick about it. Jlib, don't belittle the people on this site. If you do, we'll have you removed.. because to be frank, we don't need your opinion, nor do we want to have an asshole floating around.
With that being said, i think everyone should smoke a joint/bowl or grab thier one hitter and relax. this thread is going nowhere.. and probably just annoying people because they come here for reasonable and sometimes reliable advice... not to hear people fight like 6 year olds
If you folks would be a little more open to new grow concepts, I think you all would find yourselves a little less offended. Frankly, most of the reply's have been an attack on me because, obviosly, 99 % of those had no clue what double potting is...Nor have I gotten a reply from someone who was experienced in this process. And by the way, whats so wrong with being a rookie? Also, my information does not only come from a book, I used that for reference as some proof of this process. I have several friends who have seen massive results from this double pot thing...Its seems as though everyone has missed the point...AFTER 12/12?
By the way BOB, its not nice to threatn' people...You should smoke more dope....Violence isn't the answer brother....
And by the way B.C....Gotta love those beasters!!!!

Dude, you've been a member of this site for 11 days, and you've already disrespected practically everyone here.
You thought people didn't want to respond to your posts before? Now everyone just thinks you're an asshole
who needs double potting anyway?
just woke up from last nights' test drive of my twilight in day 33/56.....guys this stuff is great for sleep........anyway, who needs double potting? it seems stupid idea to do so.....for me it sounds more practical and useful to use one pot from start to finish and this is going to be applied by me in my future grows.....why not use one BIG 5-10 gallon pot instead of using two?......surely, i can understand the concept of double potting, but cutting the bottom 'only' of the pot and placing it on the bigger pot with soil leads to the spread out of the bottom roots only....hey man, did you get yourself up and high prior to starting this thread?.....also, get yourself started with a grow and then try to suggest things over here....books are good but one thing to remember is that if don't take action and apply the knowledge that you may have, you will never understand who things work...hey BOBBONG....i don't think this guy's an asshole....he's just a 15 yr old child that happened to have a book.... :)
Well I guess the main point is you ARE growing. You are truly free to grow anyway you choose that makes you happy. So I truly wish you luck with all your plants.
Happy growing! :)
Another attack by a silly little men....This is just a thread on double potting. I have heard nothing but slander for using the word "rookie". It is quite clear that none of you know didly shit about double potting...So why did you stupid fucks fall for the bait????
Silly little men....I think the thread says "experienced"...The input is well appreciated though, damn this shit is funny....
And dont worry kids I WILL BE POSTING PICKS.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...... ...
bobbong ding dong is all of what 19 years old...hahahahahahaha. You little fuck....Like you know shit...Livin with the folks...All your growing is pubic hair, ya fuck..
People use bait to catch things. What is your problem? what are you trying to catch? are you out to prove a point? wtf are you trying to accomplish here?Quote:

The great thing about me is i'm not gonna lower myself to your stupidity and reply with something even remotely close to what you post. People here know me, people here respect my advice and opinions... because i'm not a douche bag about it..like you.
I moved out when i was 18, Dec.1/03 to be exact. i've lived on my own for well over a year now. I made 20,000$ during the 2003 year (my notice of assesment will prove that)

incase you missed my setup, i'm completing my first successful grow. in under 3 months. I'm pretty proud of it actually, accomplished with limited space, money and i ran the risk of being caught...i was really biting my nails when they came to spray for roaches in my apartment (yeeeesh i didn't breathe for 5 minutes)
Jlibtech, I'm sorry you're an ignorant stupid asshat that obviously has his head up his ass... i rarely meet people so full of themselves.
I think it's pretty easy to say who if needed, people will turn to if in need of advice.
BobBong or Jlibtech.
So far, you've done nothing but make a complete ass out of yourself. I wouldn't trust you to advise someone how to sit the right way on a toilet seat.
Cheers Nooblitech.
amen bob....
Stay in Canada you know it all little fag, and also I've noticed you seem to try and run the show around these threads. Your the type of little snitch that needs a wake up call....
I was just looking for someone with some wisdom out there and instead all I get is punks......
meanwhile, you can't formulate a half intelligent rebuttal.Quote:

I run nothing, simply input when asked or when i see fit. It's to bad you're to much of an ass to see anything but your own pride.
The damage is done now.. thankfully i didn't have to do a single thing... you're the type of guy that would knock himself out in a fight.
And also bob, your grammar is bad.(lack of intelligence)also, great wise one, I was not giving advise, but asking for it? None if this would be going on if you wouldve just kept your mouth shout about something you know nothing about. See you post some pics, make some friends and then you think you can blast SOMEONE ELSES THREAD? Any one, yes ANYONE BOB, can grow weed...You have to be a fuckin retard to mess them up if your growing in soil, so needless to say, were not impressed bob. One little grow is impressive bob...Why dont you shut up and listen to others???
its ok bob, youll soon be exposed...
Wise men ask and listen...Ignorant people are always first to speak
There was never a fight bob, you did this all yourself....Shows your age
...
You must have a brain disorder because you're just outright retarded.
I believe it was you that started all the hostilities in this thread.
I could quote it all if you'd like? or maybe you should just click that little 1 down there and actually read yourself...obviously you didn't do a well enough job the first time.
Your concept of this double potting shit is a lazy ass way of doing something you should've done properly to begin with. don't take your growing frustrations out on us, go ride a bike.
NOW i've attacked your thread.
I just finished up my harvest. and it was a damn good harvest. well over 2.4 ounces of dried product in three months from one plant.
Now i'm going to cuba, i leave tomorrow. what will you be doing Jlibtech? hovering over the keyboard on some internet forum just waiting for people to reply to your posts. sometimes.. even having to reply to your own posts. perfect example is the last 4 posts.
you have nothing meaningfull to post. your concepts and ideas are idiotic.
