Hello everyone,

I get asked quite often "How do you transplant your plants?"

So i thought i would write this little tutorial to help people out.

First things first.

I always have plenty of POTS and i recommend you always keep some of yours as spares to make it easy at Transplanting time.

Step 1
Preparing your new pot.

When its time to transplant my little ladies, i get my new pot and a spare current pot and begin filling my new pot with my medium until I can back fill around my current pot.

Step 2
Watering your new medium.

This is where i begin to water the new medium leaving the current pot inplace.

Step 3

After i have watered, i then remove the current pot and add some Mycorhizae fungi into the bottom of the pre-made hole.

Step 4
Removing the Plant and planting it in its new home.

This is where i take the plant and gently squeeze around the pot trying to loosen the medium around the edges so that the plant slips out of the pot easily. Then i place the plant into the premade hole packing it down and water it in until i get runoff out of the bottom.

I hope that this helps those of you out that have trouble when it comes to transplant time. This can be done with pretty much any size pot within reason.

This is how I do it...

Anyways, jondamon, have you ever used fabric pots? If so, how do they compare to the air pots? TY. I use fabric now, always wondered if there would be any advantage to the air pots.

I haven't used fabric pots.

But

I no longer use airpots.

I didn't see any benefit in using them other than in veg to help create an explosive root system.

I've found normal pots that contain the roots and cause them to circle the pots gives me a greater/denser yield.


A friend of mine though swears by airpots.

He uses the 6L airpots with 2ft tall plants.

I use 11L square pots again now.
