When To Transplant Into Super Soil?

At what point are plants ready to be transplanted into Roots Organic soil?

And at what point are plants ready to be introduced to Super Soil? (50% super soil in bottom of pot, 50% Roots Organics in top of pot).

As a little test, I had some 3 week old plants that were doing well and bursting out of the bottom of ther 3-inch rockwool cubes. So I planted 2 of them them in 1-gallon pots with 60% Roots Organic on top, and 40% Super Soil on the bottom. Was this too early to do this?

Thanks

Anybody have advice on correct times to transplant?

Anytime to transplant is the correct time dood.

I don't use super soil, but what I do when transplanting is similar; I have a base mix amended to whatever extent I see fit, and the soil on the bottom of the container gets extra amendments (additional guano, usually Peruvian Seabird, more kelp, whatever else I want to add) so that the roots grow slowly down into this more nutrient-rich area. Then I just use water with Catalyst and\or blackstrap. I've never had any problems doing this with appropriate sized plants, and at 3 weeks they should be a good enough size.

If you cooked the soil as they recommend you should be just fine.

You can put clones and seeds straight into Roots...and I would assume when you are ready to transplant into a final container you would add your super soil enough to fill the bottom of whatever size you are going into...but you would want to have a few weeks worth or growth before transplanting anywhere...

Nahh...your move sounds great...and just right as well kudos!

Subcool first transplants into 1 gallons of roots then transplants into a 7 gallon with supersoil bottom 50%. Check out his youtube channel, it all there in video format.

answer to your question, imo..


start seeds in 1 gallon containers of good rich (plain) bagged organic soil and veg for a month, then transplant into 7-10 gallon thats half super soil, a mixed 2-3" of the super soil and bagged soil, then continue to use just the bagged soil to fill in around your smaller 1 gallon rootball. lets the plant gradually find the super soil.

works great everytime.

How would I do it with a 100 gal smart pot? Its my first grow, would I do the same thing and how much supersoil would i put in there?

you'd be much better off with a diff method with 100 gal pot my friend

I put rockwool cubes into pots soon after the seeds pop. As long as the supersoil is on the bottom.

For 100 gallon pots I'd do coots no til recipe. Way less superfluous inputs, No layering, no cooking needed and you can plant seedlings right into it.

I haven't used supersoil in a while but i used to wait til their final pot to add the supersoil to the mix, I would burn my younger clones and seedlings if intransplanted too early. Bone meal and blood meal can be pretty "hot" even in a cooked mix.
