i think i need to move my plants...HELP

so i think i need to move my plants... i put them in the ground on june 17 at about 3 weeks old, about 6 inches tall...and after some research, i found out that they wont be ready by the time i leave the province..so im going to have to force flower them..but in order for me to be able to do that i have to move them closer to where i am...my question is..they are about 20" high and im wondering if it would hurt the plant to move them...or can i just cut a big section around the plant so i don't hurt the roots...i need help fast...might have to move them tonight...

THANKS!!!!

It's gonna be a pain in the ass and you will damage the root system no matter how careful you are,but with that said you gotta do what you gotta do.....

wow that was quick..thanks...but even if i dig really far around it..without touching the root?? would it still be a Biotch??

it is going to be a bigger pain in the ass, lol, its hard to pick up a ton of dirt like that and keep all the soil together w/o chunks falling away, usually ripping off big parts of the root system. Ive had to do it before and it sucks alot, but i wish you luck. get some superthrive and give it to them after the transplant.

Mycorrhizae is good shit as well in the transplanting departments

if you move them you may stunt the growth and will defiantly damage the root system my say is get a few garbage cans and throw them over top of the plants just work out a 12/12 cycle that fits to your ability

I have to agree it will be a major pain in the ass but it can be done. You will stunt and shock your plant without a doubt. In MHO you first will have to cut a hole around the plant larger than the diamiter of the plant and going as deep as the plant is tall. That would be a mininum hole to get most of the root ball. Personally I would do that let the plant sit like this for a day or two. I use Super Thrive in my watering at this point to help with the shock. Then I would put the plant into your container, this will be no easy task to get the root ball out in one piece. You might try digging to the side of the hole you cut so that you can get the shovel under your entire cut out hole. Recontainer, water with super thrive and allow to rest without any nutes for at least a week so that it can recover. I hope that this helps some, I have used this methods both for my babies and other garden plants and trees that I move. Good Luck

the root ststem is alot bigger than you would think

Thanks alot for the help guys..i love this site..you guys rock...unfortunately im under heavy watch, so i gotta be very sneaky about it....and im gonig to have to do it all in one shop..i have been prepping the area where they are going..just havent had the balls to move them untill i think the coast is clear

Good luck, I hope the root ball all stays together for ya.
