Transplanting

Well I'm thinking about transplanting my plants in the ground my dilemma is there in 5gallon buckets I'm transplanting because I think there's not quite enough room for the roots so my question is how would I go about transplanting from 5gallon buckets to ground

Water it before taking out of pot but be careful not to break it as it will be heavy... I did one recently in a 5 gal pot and had to transplant it as it had become root bound so had no choice really as it was becoming stressed and droopy and was losing it's colour by starting to turn yellow... Just be gentle with her... Mine was a handful but once I put it into an airpot she recovered nicely after about 5 days due to the roots having more space to grow

If there really big just cut the bottom off the bucket with a sharp ass razor knife and bury the whole thing you could even put holes in the sides if you want .....

Just transplanted in the ground I found that the bottom of my buckets were very slimy and muddy so I'm thinking that may have caused the slow growth should have put more drain holes I'm thinking but any how I put them in the ground burried the stalk a little cause I've herd that burried part will become part of the roots

Good reporting back, nice work. Yea pretty sure thats a fact, that burring the stock will grow roots at the internodes under the medium. Causing a massive mess of buds everywhere latter on!!!!!!!!

Generally you dont water first, that would be how noobies end holding the remains of their root mass because it collapsed in their hands unexpectedly. Dry is far better. They roots will all stay together and theres less weight strain on the mass as its being worked out of the pot and being placed into the ground. Save the water for after you have transplanted.

Thank you, I have been hard at it recently and sometimes the brain loses track and becomes disjointed from my train of thought/s, I appreciate your sound advice and for correcting an obvious mistake as I did not mean to give out bad advice. You are totally correct as that is a common noob mistake, one I don't repeat often (I hope). Again, thank you sir and apologies to the OP also as I did not mean to mislead you or for any harm to come to your girl...
