KaliHustla~916-23~16 o ya and if I do transplant how would I do it he told me just to rotate the pot in my hands to loosen then dirt then just put it in the other pot but ill shutup so maybe I can get sum help THANK YOU

Water them and then put them in at least 3 gallon pots... 5 is better

water them then let them dry back up some as they are easiest when dry to transplant. The reason to transplant them is so they dont get root bound. The plants will triple or more in height when in flower and bulk way out.After you transplant give a good heavy water and keeep temps mild on them as they will need a little rest. Do each one as fast and quick as you can less air on the roots the better. Usually you can take a flat item slide it between the pot and soil and go around the plant to loosen it. Then just place your hand around the stalk base and tilt the plant with a little tug(if you have help its easier as they can pull the pot off).Have the new pots ready and filled with soil so the old plant root ball is about 1-2 inches lower then where the new top soil will end up so its covered.Press it lightly firm into new soil and then lightly pack new soil around it and water. You may even want a support for a week or so til the roots take hold.This in flower can slow your grow by a week maybe 2 if its shocking but shouldnt be too bad. You might see some wilting just watch it and go light on any nutes in the water til it perks up

thanks so when I pull them base will dirt come along with it? and if so should I keep that dirt on the roots and just fill the other soil over or do i make sure all the old dirt is off the root's I know these are probably dumb ass questions to u but this my first time and I put hella work and money so I wana make sure I know im doing everything right thanks!

you got it leave the dirt around it and put the whole dirt ball in the middle and pack around it.Thats how we learn

yeah tryting to take the roots dirt that they have grown to love will piss them off!

ok I think I got a pretty good Idea on how to do thanks alot everyone and feltch you were a big help and I always love lookin at your pic while I type Thanks again!!

WAIT one person says water them and another says make sure my soil is dry which is it????

make sure the soil is fairly dry before you try to transplant...and keep as much of the roots as possible together..do that and you will be fine...

thats why u have them in small pots move them when they get bigger if the soil is hard so it wont break move them to new pots
