moving my grow

well, we have been evicted. i guess thats what happens when you trust someone else to pay the bills. then again, its hard to pay them when you dont have enough money. such is life....well we found a new place about 40 minutes away. i have 2, 5 gallon dwc buckets. my plants are large. whats the best way to move them withought getting busted or stressing them too much? 30 days in flower, cant give up now.

16 views not 1 idea. thanks

Two years ago, my son had to move his grow suddenly in the middle of the night, and he made a terrible mistake of hiding them in the woods for just an hour. He did not cover them up.He left the plants laying on the ground for only an hour, and they survived great, but three days later, they were full of spider webs and spider mites.Remove them from the buckets and Completely cover them in large garbage bags to move and conceal them. They might wilt just a little, but they will bounce back in a few hours after they are back in the water.

thanks roseman, how about placing them in thier own clean garbage can and lid with holes at top and bottom? i can keep then in the bucket and not have a problem with wilting. ill do it during dark cycle, at early evening, and pu them in thier new home in the dark till the am. removing from the buckets and placing in bags does not seem like a good idea. but i asked for ideas, so shame on me, lol. thanks anyway, but i got this idea from a few friends in my main mj forum. adios

no no no, go to sears or maybe even wal-mart....get a Washing Machine Box and put them in that (of course depending on how tall they are)...that way you can use towels around the base and it looks like you are moving a fragile washer. They should be moved when the light schedule goes off for the least amount of shock, but can take 4-5 hours in the box and be just fine..I will be needing refridgerator boxes when I round up my mothers for the long haul..

oh ya, sorry bout the eviction. Fuck roommates! Never again in my life...get the timing down so you're cycling every 2 weeks

I had to move my grow recently, three weeks ago. I dropped to 1 gallon in my 10 gallon bp setup the move totaled 48 hours of no light, or air. I put them in a wardrobe box from uhaul and two days later it took them 3 hours to wake back up and viola, I've just seen the good news of four strong females and an unsexed runt. I watched the movers roll my grow into their moving van LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Use the fridge boxes standing upright so you can put the mommas upright (there are also legitimate reasons why freezers and fridges must be upright so its not like it looks weird), get a pickup from home depot if needed. Put two garbage bags w holes over them and transport them to your car at night at the beginning of the dark cycle. Leave them in the DWC water so the roots don't dry out... which will happen in an hour or two, much faster than suffocation (lack of air) and will take them less time to recover. Be sure you have everything set up in the new spot.

Did you move them?

well we found a place. i am not going to move them there until i am sleeping there, just in case the previouse tennant shows to grab some of there old stuff.
the story is, i have to replace the front door because the cops were there to get the previouse tennants boyfriend and knocked the door in. i will be reimbursed natrually, but, i need to change the locks too. boy this is weird.
the agreement is....the place needs paint and pressure cleaning, i said i would do it for money off the rent. they baught my bid, but the owner wants the real estate lady to check off work done as needed. im sure she will only come there via appointment made by me. she seems really cool. to be honest i can tell when people burn, and just talking to her. she sounds like a fellow, mellow, smoker. time will tell. just hope the babies take the change ok, if i can get them there jail free, lol.
