God damn I had a stressfull night. Repotted 4 plants from 6 litre airpots to 10 litre airpots. Ended up tearing some roots big time FFS. I hope they will recover. Next time I wont bother with 6 litre pots ill shoot straight for the 10 litres grrr FFS.

Took 14 clones aswell (2 off of each) so I should atleast have enough for next round.

Thanks for the calming words Nas. Never grown before so it's all a big learning curve for me. The coco was moist when repotted but the problem is with the airpots because they need to be packed tight into all the little holes with coco and the root ball as you call it was just fitting inside the bigger pot so I could only pack out the 10 litre pots proper by hurting some roots in the process. After the first couple I figured a way to make things less stressfull for the plants but I started with my two best ones and practically ripped half the roots off them FFS. Well im using Cannazym atleast so new roots can eat the dead ones lol.

One other thing is Cal Mag suppliments. They are like gold dust over here, you can not get them for love nor money. I found some Calmax on ebay last week but now the auction has finished so there is nowhere to buy any calmag without paying loads of money to get it shipped over from the states.

Are the Canna Mono suppliments good? You have to buy cal and mag seperate with these. But would these be just as good? and how much should I use per litre?

Cheers.Scroggsy.

Yes, they'll work the same though you will probably have to supplement iron somehow also.
Thanks.

***Also for anyone thinking of using Airpots***. Dont fuck around with the 1 litre or 6 litre pots, just go for the 3 litre pots straight into 10 litre pots or bigger. You wont damage any roots that way. It will give you space to pack all the holes in around the sides without hurting them.

Can I stay on course and flower these plants after the stress of tearing roots or should I keep them in veg for a few more days?

Cheers.Scroggsy.

Give them at least 3-4 days to recover, or they'll recover during the initiation of flowering. DO NO WANT.

after a transplant you want to veg em for another week or so as soon as you see growth has come back to normal thats when u know she has overcome the stress and is back to her normel routine, any time after that ur good to flower. i mean i had plants that didnt stress at all after repoting, and some did, the main point is you dont want to flower a stressed plant

Thankyou peeps.

Just one more quick question. Would mixing some of my hard tap water in with the RO be good enough as a suppliment for cal mag. Because my tap water has loads of Cal and Mag. It also has Iron in it.

I'm going to disagree here. Yes, it's fine to do, I do it myself. It will most likely not be sufficient however, and you'll most likely need more.
thats compleatly fine bro ;) i gues we both right it just depends on ur tap water, i my self only use tap water and my plants r loving it, i have a mate whos tap water causes him lots of problems,

Yep, I've seen the same. I can't use my tapwater because it has too much of everything in it. What I was specifically disagreeing with was that simply cutting the ro with tap would provide enough of both elements because they're rarely exist in good ratios in tapwater.
