Orangeman's 1st log!

[orangeman]

Transplanted two today. God if there's one thing Orangeman sucks at it's transplanting. Roots got fucked up, not the main root but all the ones going off every which a way got messed up and I punched a wall, fucked up my knuckles from anger and kicked a door. I went mad..I hope my plant makes it :wtf:. One plant seemed to take the transplant well. The other one...well you can see how it fells about it from the pic. As for the one in the back nervous about it's transplant later on tonight, it's doing well. They all would've been transplanted at same time but I ran out of soil -_-...

looking good keep up the good work:thumbsup: look forwardto seeing these baby grow:stoned:

just be careful transplanting. I like the soil to be a little damp when I dump out the plant and put it in the bigger vessel. I dig around the edge of the pot to loosen up the roots first.

All of those little root hairs going off all over the place ARE part of the root ball! The plants look a bit young for transplanting anyway and it is better and easier if you wait until they're rootbound or well on the way there so the ball compacts a bit and holds its shape when removed from the pot. And always keep a solution of SuperThrive handy every time you transplant. THIS is what that stuff is for.

And quit blaming the wall!

Well the thing is there were roots constantly coming out of the bottom. I gave them a good watering last night and this morning roots were actually shooting out of the holes curving actually touching the bottom of the pot. I had to transplant them. No, I didn't want to and I know they were too young but it had to be done. And anger is just ONE of the reasons why I use marijuana lol. I didn't mean to hit the wall, honestly I didn't. It was just a reaction because I was over angry at what had just happened and I thought my plant was gonna die for sure lol.

For your soil, are you using any perlite? If so, that could be why the roots are growing so fast... Last year, my two week old seedling had roots coming out of an 8" pot, and they were growing more everyday... It's not a bad thing, unless you don't have bigger pots to transplant in, but root growth is important, as I'm sure you know.
So far, nice plants. When are you going to start feeding them, and with what?

[orangeman]

I plan on taking xcrispi's advice and feed them when ever the new growth seems a bit more yellow. Also the lights turned on about 40 mins ago and I went to go check on 'em. The plant is doing good and actually it looks like the fan leaves had grown even more! I think I'm gonna experiment and just let the 3rd plant get root bound and then transplant and see how easy it is. I already knew that I should have waited until the plants had formed a root ball but even though it was only like 3 individual roots coming out of the bottom it was sorta disturbing me. And yes the plants soil has perlite in it. And the soiless mix is very soft and easy for the roots to get through so that might explain the fast growth to the bottom. I seriously hope it doesn't happen again because I don't have any more pots to put those plants in .

Along with some more pics. Showing how the plant recovered from the transplant . I know I just showed pics earlier but hey. More doesn't hurt .
