Double potting-Experienced help

[Zandor]

I offer a solid tip on indoor growing

Dude this is not a tip....this is bull shit...take a hint....learn a lesson and try again next time. Do what is suggested and you too can grow good pot with a large yield.

Try making friends not enemies you will have a better time around here and may even learn something.

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

double potting is where you start your seeds or cuttings in small 3 to 4 inch pots and when you would normally transplant them. you cut the bottom inch or so, off the small pot (being careful not to damage the roots) and get yourself a much bigger pot and fill it with compost and perlite and push the small pot in just a couple of inches and hey you just double potted.......it seems like a good idea to me and i will try it out............. seems to cut down on transplant stress

some people call it double potting.


I grow my plants in a mixture of perlite and soil in the silver bags that the starbuck coffee ( for compost) grounds come in.

I just cut of the bottom of the bag and place the rootball in a almost full pot.

then the plant will stretch ot its roots into new soil.

I water from the outside of the bag for the rest of the cycle.
