New grower needs help.

Okay, I'm going to switch the lights to 16/8, but how do I go about transplanting it? What all do I need to get for the transfer? I already have grodan grow cubes to transplant them to.

How long have you been on 12/12? Its not that simple to change to 16/8 because if its been a week or longer at 12/12, it can take 6 or 8 weeks before it gets back on track. When you go from 12/12 to 16/8 its like saying its spring time, while the other way around its fall time and its time to flower.

If you use the small grow cubes (the size of a small sugar cube) there will be no problem changing from dirt. Place your fingers between the main stem and turn the cup upside down, you should be able to pull the cup off with no problem. Then keeping the plant upside down, hold it under a water tap (cold), and slowly rinse the dirt off the plant. You don't have to worry about all the dirt just the majority of it. Then put it into the cubes.
