I have a plant that is about 3 weeks old and its roots have came out the bottom of the pot, how do I transplant this without damaging them or is there anything else I can do at the moment? Thanks
Everything Doer said. And this: Don't be afraid, just repot it. You aren't going to kill it if you report when it's roots are nice and healthy. I rough my roots up when I re-pot(unless it's mid-flowering) it invigorates them to grow out into the new soil. Good luck.I have a plant that is about 3 weeks old and its roots have came out the bottom of the pot, how do I transplant this without damaging them or is there anything else I can do at the moment?

...so young lets hope its in a 4 inch pot, leaving the plant in there, protruding roots will dry out and fall off, thats aero pruning ...bad for cannabis and slow growth, even worse for autos ..!I have a plant that is about 3 weeks old and its roots have came out the bottom of the pot, how do I transplant this without damaging them or is there anything else I can do at the moment?

Thanks man, The pots are 4" so do you think I should transplant asap? into a 15 litre? I would prefer a small bushy plant than tall to be honest as I don't have a lot of space but I would also like a decent bit smoke too lol...so young lets hope its in a 4 inch pot, leaving the plant in there, protruding roots will dry out and fall off, thats aero pruning ...bad for cannabis and slow growth, even worse for autos ..!
best is a 3 us gallon / 15 liter pot fill with soil, scoop out a hole the size of the current pot, invert current pot plant drops out, place in prepared hole, water allow to recover in dim light 3- hours then continue
Important to consider you future yield ...yes potup as soon as you can, to prevent delay in harvest dateThanks man, The pots are 4" so do you think I should transplant asap? into a 15 litre?

Plants will be in there new home in about 16 hoursImportant to consider you future yield ...yes potup as soon as you can, to prevent delay in harvest date
Yes, what he said....dim light for a while. Check. And yield hinges on the beginning that is for sure. I got where I would just toss them if they get the dark purple, water pinched stems. No recovery from that.Important to consider you future yield ...yes potup as soon as you can, to prevent delay in harvest date
How long do u want to veg them? Even still, eight weeks in a five gallon container produces a lot of roots so it's better to go into the 5gal.Great thread, may i cut in? I was wondering if it was too late too transplant but sounds like if I cut the circle of roots and allow extra time we'll be okay?
Mine are about six weeks old in only quart sized planters. I'm debating between moving them into one gallon or five.
Right. I'd like a few that will fit into my small cab that will hopefully veg until i can grow out the ones in the 5gals.That's what I do. But I go into 2.5 gals and veg for 8 weeks. I want to do an experiment now of using a bigger bucket for one of the monthly start, clone pairs. See which get better yield.
I'm guessing the 5 gal.. But, the 2.5 gal is small enough for me to move around with one hand even with a 4 foot plant in it. So, handling in my tiny space is an issue.
I only have a 1 foot wide aisle to work in.
those breathable re-useable shopping bags are cool. they use the floor space very efficiently in tight grows. I didn't like the white mold they get on the bottom, beneficial or not. the only down-side to them I found.That's what I do. But I go into 2.5 gals and veg for 8 weeks.
