Quick newbie question

Hey guys idk if this is a big deal or not but i spent the night at my brothers house and while i was gone my power went out and my plant was in darkness for about 24hrs . When i got home there was a CRAZY amount of new growth on my plant, when i left she had 8 nodes and now she still has 8 nodes but she has started to grow 6 more . She is only about 3 weeks old im just worried that she might have started to flower because of the extended dark period . I might just be overreacting but just to be sure i figured id ask the pros thanks guys

I would just put it straight back on the cycle it was on. Should be fine...

Alright will do just to be safe to put her on a 24hr cycle for the lack of light the past day . Also im going to transplant her when i wake up in the AM any tips so i dont shock her ? From what ive read i should dampen the soil first then put her in the new pot and bury some of the stem so it will make new roots . Should i water after i put her in the new pot ?

If you wet the soil before you transplant I would not water for a while. (assuming the soil the plant is in is wet also when you move it) As for not shocking her I would try and disturb the roots ball as little as possible - I wouldn't put her back to 24 but that's up to you - I would just put her on the cycle she was on before the light went out. Good luck...

im DEFINATELY going to take your word for it im gonna put her back on her regular schedule now she has had the lights on for about 19hrs now so she hasnt gone out of her regular schedule by too much . Thanks for the help

Even if a week into flower you decided you wanted to let them veg more, you could put them back on the 24 hr cycle and they would stop flowering. No biggie

Everyone transplants different. I wait til the pot is dry . I squeeze the sides in to be able to get the root ball lose and ready to come out . Once it's out I gently rub the bottom roots and and break the soil and roots up and maybe a quarter to half inch disturbance to promote new root growth down into new soil . Works for me everytime .

^^^ good advice^^^

That is pretty much exactly how I do it.
I find that a dry transplant is much easier with less risk of disturbing the rootball. I water after i transplant.

I have a transplant tip: Don't be scared, you really have to rough them up during the transplant to cause any type of shock. I have never experienced tansplant shock in all my years of growing-usually it's the opposite, plants have a growth spurt right after the transplant.

Dry is definitely the way to do it. I also water them as soon as they are in their new home.

Well I'm a noob on my first grow and I'm just glad to be passing good advice along . At least it works for me !!!! My girls have been happy

Okay so i transplanted her today and i hope i didnt fuck up when i took her out most of the dirt fell off and like 40% of the roots with it . She is 2 weeks old today she is about 7-8 inches tall now and has 16 nodes growing at the moment . But only 6 are big nodes the others are new growth . I just want to know if she is okay since she lost like 40% of her roots she is extremely healthy at the moment but im waiting for till the morning to see if she shows signs of anything . Any opinions ?

It will be ok loosing some roots. It may need to recoop the roots to get going on top again, she'll be ok

Alright thanks bro

She may slow down for a few days but other than that if she is healthy like you say I'm sure you will quickly notice any other issues with her. Keep going dude.

You gonna be alright . Babies going to be fine .
