im scared to transplant, ive never done it before...any tips?

[smoking habit]

what EXACTLY does a ballast do? reduces risk somehow for higher power usage? and at what point should you use a ballast? thanks

[DonSmokin]

oturbojoeo4o your a freckin mad thing,
I like it man

Transplanting: wait until the cups are completely dry and light. Get the new pot ready with whatever soil mix you're gonna use, and scoop a hole out of the middle to hold the plant's rootball. Then grab the stem gently, turn the cup outside down, and tug a little, and it should come right out. Then put it in the hole you made in the new pot, and fill in around it as needed to level out the soil. Then give it a bit of water. If it experiences transplant shock, it can take a week to recover and get back to growing full speed. Don't give it any nutes that first week after a transplant either.

dude please take the ballast off the rug they do get hot and you dont want your house buring down then the firemen find a nice hidden grow box.........no insurance money

invision good idea...im making some stilts for it that im just hot gluing it to...the thing is, i put the ballast underneath my exhaust and it does make wonders on cooling it down, even though the air coming from the exhaust is a lil warm, still it does wonders

-so i gave the growroom a new paintjob, flat white...only 1 layer, needs another
-added another passive intake...more CO2 filled air
-painted the exhaust and intake flat black...i cant believe how much light it absorbs now
-i tried to cover up every baby light leak that even lil pin holes got covered
-i also put some bounty sheets on the exhaust...plants are starting to smell green lol

I STILL NEED SOME OPINIONS ON WHAT SHAPE TO BEND THE REFLECTOR!

Get a razor knife and just cut the cups off of the soil, becareful not to cut too deep, and just be gentle. Make sure you have your next medium ready and transplant directly in. BE GENTLE!
The best way to cut is to, cut around the bottom of the cup to make it open ended, and then make a vertical inscision and simply fold the cup off the soil.

props on the grow, takes me back to my days at moms house, i had a walk in closet though, i wish you the best success, look into LST(low stress training), dont top your plants like someone said, topping very bad, all elements of your enviroment seem to be under complete control, i will def be keeping tabs on this one
