I do know quite a lot about what im planning on doing iv put in days of research mostly on lighting and building my set up and so on and so fourth I think I may need to do some more reading on nuits tho (here I was thinking I knew it all haha) but my knowledge falls short when coming to younglings I appreciate the help can you please provide me with some infor on the process of doing the switch from the soil im using to the new soil? I really don't want to damage the roots and end up stressing the poor thing.
haha...welcome to RIU buddy...you remind me of a guy on here once...was it B......no..it was that RIKNSTEIN character...he didn't know shit when he came here either...lol...what I do when I transplant is wait till it, or they, need watering and wet the soil pretty good, not soaked so if there's runoff wich is good, wait for it to stop and squeeze the outsides of your pot gently to loosen the soil inside, then I start tipping it over and shaking lightly until she slides into my hand....then your changing soil so VERY gently rub your fingers
(like your giving a money sign) to get the loose soil off the root ball...DO NOT REMOVE ALL THE DIRT....you don't want to damage the main taps so leave a little of the old soil, or leave all that stays attached is what I would do...have your pots ready with a layer of soil in the bottom to set it at the proper height and set her in and fill in around her get her good and wet
(that's what she said) and wait for a few days to see her come back IF you stressed her...and when you start feeding wait for at least 3-4 weeks old and/or when the lil round leaves
(cotyledons) start to wilt and shrivel and then start with 1/4 strength nutes and work your way up to full strength.........oh ya, I transplant several times before they go into 5 gal pot...solo cup-1gal pot-3gal pot-5gal pot...it lets the roots catch up...cuz if you transplant from a solo cup to a 5 gal pot you can expect some time of "no growth" cuz you have to grow below, before you grow on top....good luck and again welcome to RIU...
