Moving plants

I’ve no got any choice so only looking for an answer. If I move plants from mine to somewhere else what’s the chances of them dying. Only got about 2 weeks to go ans it’ll be just about a 15 mins journey. They are in soil with cotton pots. Thanks

I swear half the people here have never seen a single plant of any variety grow with some of these questions...

Have you never had a single potted plant in your life, or inadvertently seen someone care for one lol? They get moved constantly.

Plants don't just die...they fight for survival just like any species on this planet...give this hardy plant a bit of credit lol, they are pretty tough.

No harm in asking tho it’s just my second grow mate and I’d rather ask and look stupid to get an answer. It’s the fact I would be taking it outside it’s comfort zone. Do you have any suggestions about moving it. Shall I wrap it I cling film the out w bag over it ? I was thinking that just to save it getting broken or damaged

Remove pot from your house. Place pot in car. Drive pot to friend's house. Remove pot from car. Place pot in friend's house.

I have some some tutorials where it says moving the plants around is bad for them. No idea if there’s any truth to that.

I can’t imagine how it would hurt them if you’re careful though.

If they are well into flower ld support them and wouldnt put in back of pickup and hit the highway at any stage. Wind can damage them too. Other than that no problem.

Cheers man.
you know whats even worse? I might face your same dilemma and was just looking for this answer. I wasnt sure if it would stress them. ppl sometimes talk about cannabis like a really sensitve plant, and then like its a freaking hummer 1. its tough to be sure (I was specially weary if they are flowering) even in these stupid questions. thanks for opening the thread and taking the heat and burns for the rest of us lol.

I will say I don't like taking a plant outside for any reason. The great outdoors is no place for a plant. Keep them inside like mother nature intended.

Lol no they were about two feet tall a piece in veg and 3 gallon fabric pots. Trust me I was nervous as shit when both passenger tires blew on exit in Toledo on the god damn Fourth of July. I was taking back way to skip tolls to minimize human contact. Then I wound up having car towed to Firestone to collect on my tire warranty. Should have seen Firestone workers faces when they pulled car in. Plants were emergency covered by a sheet but it stunk real bad. I figured worse that they can do is jail. It was very nerve wrecking and interesting. But hey I made it. Chances make champions and it’s legal as shit where I live. My plan was play dumb and bond out. And plus they were in veg and only thing I had was a half and one cartridge.
