Transplanting hack

So I grew some clones I got off a friend, got em inside right now under my 600w hps while i wait for it to warm up outside so i can put it on my roof. Doing lst btw, I want them in 10gal pots when on the roof and I already have built a platform for them up there. I went from solo cups to 1 gal pots and could tell they needed re-potting but didnt want to jump to 10gal right away because of limited space in the basement. So I put them in 5gal pots but what I did is cut the 5gal pots completely in half and duct tape them back together so that when transplant time comes it will be easy work! I didnt want to cut the buckets with the plants in them cause I could possibly damage roots. Seems like a good idea to me hopefully it all works out well with very little stress to the plants. I will update this post with pics to let you all know how it goes, wish me luck.

They are getting nice and bushy! And I've decided to go with 32 gal garbage bins instead of 10 gal pots

Waiting for the warmer temps, I plan on getting them put into the 32 gals by next weekend may 16th. I bring them outside on nice sunny days to take advantage of the sunlight

So this is the setup, I know they are too close together but my original plan was to use 5 gal pails then changed my mind to 10 gal, and after searching this forum I decided to go with 32 gal garbage bins which I had kicking around so I figured why the hell not, ill see how it goes maybe next year I might widen it

That's a good idea

I’m gonna grab some popcorn and park my ass in this thread. Never seen a roof setup on an A frame house lol

Thats gonna be some good growing advertisement for your neighborhood! Everyone will be able to see those for sure.

Dude this is awesome and even though everyone in the neighborhood knows about it, i doubt anyone will try to steal them. They will eventually need some support though..... Big outdoor plants need big trellises.

I made those kind of treillis for my outdoor plant.

You are going to need a second layer of that, about 8 feet tall and 8 feet in diameter. We are still VERY early in the season.

I've been bending them down I was going to continue to grow it that way, keep tying them down as it grows and then build a screen with supports to go over top of it all, scrog it. I think it will help with the wind factor. I think it should work? No? Or should I go with the trellis? Hmmm

Oh no that was last summer, i have 6 month of snow so he vegged from may to august and than i brought them in the garage and finished them on HPS as it was frozen outside. at harvest they were 2 feet taller than the treillis

You better finish strong or you will be known as the person that failed at growing weed lol

Those are like little sprouts compared to the monster they are going to be. Just wait.

Have you checked on the weight that is going to be....might need to reinforce your roof before the end
