and not a chance that i cud of seperated roots from soil in this case it was crammed like 10000000 roots in it
What?Going from soil to soil, I can not and will not recommend that sort of transplant. If you're washing all of the soil from the roots, you might as well transplant into a hydroponics system.
Yeah, kinda seems like you asked for advice but don't want to actually take any that is given?why'd you start this thread?
It's not something I recommend to people that give off the impression of being new to some basics like transplanting and such. As evidenced above, he tried it and failed. Would have been much easier to just rinse it off and move it into a hydroponics system, as the dense roots would have adapted quickly and the plant likely would have survived.What?
People have been transplanting from soil to soil for thousands of years. MJ plants are as strong if not stronger than most.
What would be the best way to go about doing this if trying to wash away unfertilized potting soil on about 3 week seedlings to transplant them into 100% perlite in a simple hempy bucket hydro setup..... Should I just try to wash away the soil and carefully place the perlite around the roots or...?You can most definitely do it. As I said we do it at our nursery often and I have done it a number of times myself with pot plants.
One thing about sites like that is that there is so much personal opinion and myth and urban legends passed around under the guise of being facts that facts and things that work and can be done are often times very seldom mentioned and instead personal opinions and myths and urban legends are told as being facts.
Incorrect information and misinformation abounds on sites like this and unfortunately much of it has taken on an air of factuality when it is anything but.
So yes you can do it. If you follow the steps I mentioned, unless your plant(s) are already to far gone, they will be just fine.

I understand. The plants are in perfect condition though. I just recently learned about that simple hydro method called "hempy buckets" as you can see in a thread here on the first page and would like to convert some of these started plants over to that setup, but I'm a little nervous to just directly transplant the root/soil mass into the perlite, because I think overtime the hydro nutes might build up too much in the soil (although the soil section would only be the size of party cups).... So, I think trying to wash away msot of the soil would be best.... maybe I should do it when the perlite is still dry since it'll be easier to get it around the roots and then water through it so it kinda takes shape around them... any thoughts?I have never used a hydro setup and I have never used 100% Perlite but what I mentioned will work perfectly fine as long as the plants are not already too far gone.
After that the question needs to be answered by someone who has done the things you are considering doing. I could venture a guess but I hate to do that and avoid it if at all possible considering what it at stake for someone.
Congrats I guess but why reply to a thread from 2009?Update three days after complete soil transfer washing away the soil from the roots and even destroying some of the roots in the process here are my plants They have doubled in growth
Both pictures are of the same plant three days apart so for all those who say you cannot completely washed away all the soil here is proof
I’m glad for once that someone did revive it. I’ve got guys literally freaking out when I advise using skewers to pierce the medium and the hardened root mass under the plant. Literally freaking out like I advise it so people’s plants are damaged. Not only do they survive it they thrive from it. Usually immediately.Congrats I guess but why reply to a thread from 2009?
If I found this thread looking for help with my problem others will and knowledge from forums isn’t based on time it’s added to so people can see progress and error but also Start a new thread when there’s already one with information on the subject not trying to come at you crazy only just replying to your question but thanks for the congrats maybe you can give me some knowledge for the future? Do you think The stress that my plants were under will cause them to turn male being that they were only bag seedsCongrats I guess but why reply to a thread from 2009?
I have no idea but the fact that they were "bag seeds" does make me suspect hermies more than males? Do you think The stress that my plants were under will cause them to turn male being that they were only bag seeds
