moving and taking my plants

newhobbiest420 · Jul 25, 2013

So looks like I'm moving and I'm taking my plants. This was my first year growing anything. I can't leave them. My wife agrees. They should be Ok if I dig them up and geopot them for a couple days I hope? Anyone have suggestions ?

Sounds tricky. How big are they? It might be easier to take a couple clones and dispose of the main plants.

Awww man. Clones huh? I've never cloned. That sucks. Some of them have lots of fruit others just barely started growing veggies.

Taking clones can make it nice when moving if you can do it.

I may just have to then. A foot root hormone will work right. Well I'll probably clone and try and bag them up. See what survives. Thanks for suggestions.

How long of a travel will it be for them?

If your going to grow some indoors highly not likely

if you have time, root prune the plants and water thoroughly and let set for a couple of days. then gently dig them up and put into a large pot or can for transport to the new site. replant and water well. GL

Yes you should be able to use the same light setup for them indoors.

Haha feels like I'm going to the dentist.

dude just dig a bigger hole then the you started with and when the plant is getting loose gently by hand go thru and loosen the roots and shake the excess dirt off and just set it in a big bucket.. lightly water it so the roots don't dry out.. when you get to your new home just do like you did when you started.. dig big hole and turn the dirt a few times before you put the plant in.. add plant in hole and water.. let the gods take her from there..

I was just thinking of taking the root ball with dirt. As opposed to shaking it off

try to get a root ball. it's easier if the soil is wet, not saturated, to get a root ball. if u can't get it in a pot then wrap the ball in plastic or better yet use burlap. if u use plastic don't forget to remove it before installing the plant in the new location. GL
