Transplanting is a real pain in the ass you guys should know what I mean... I had 2 $20 plants die on me because I fucked up my transplanting and I was wondering is it absolutely necessary to transplant? I mean what harm could it do just planting in the final pot and growing and harvesting that way? It's soo much easier I have good soil a 600watt hps light a good temperature I use distiller store bought water and I use quality seeds... So I ask is transplanting a necessary?

the fuck? how you kill plants in a transplant? where you smoking? lol it happens i guess.


but no you do not have transplant, YES you can start the seed in the pot you finish in if you would like..... there are lots of reasons why i would not do this, but in your case where practice is still needed not a bad idea, next time be more gentle during a transplants and everything should go just fine, maybe read up on it a little, i hope, you didnt just try and uproot them by the sstem, you have to basically hold the plant upside down with you hand flat against the dirt and pull the pot away from the dirt(not vice-versa) the hold the dirt flip the plant rightside up and put it in your prepared pot(dirt in the bottom) then bury it. dont know where you went wrong maybe dirt wasnt compact enough (dont try and compact it just water it) or your plants really didn't need transplanted adn the root would not hold the dirt togeher.

I did the whole flip upside down thing but I couldn't get the damn thing in the bigger pot so I molested every root I saw getting the bitch in ther three days later dead as a fucking white boy in Harlem... Life is a bitch at times... But no worries I still have 3 seeds of the super skunk strains I kill transplanting and I'll just throw them bitches in the 3 gallon pots and try it that way... Iv transplanted before with no problems I just waited 1 1/2 months to transplant this time so more roots were hanging everywhere...

I use super root pots. They are a wrap around pot. So when your ready to up pot all you do is un wrap the pot and put it in a new one. It's easy and you won't kill your plants. Also the pot will make your plants roots stronger, making for more bud!!

The only reason transplanting should be a pain in the arse is with regard to getting soil on the floor. Otherwise there is nothing to it. If you had trouble getting it into the bigger pot, then in future, put some soil into the bottom of the new bigger pot, put the old pot inside of the new pot and fill around the edges with soil. Water the new soil so that it is wet and stay together, remove the smaller pot and you'll be left with a perfect sized indentation. Old ball of roots and soil should slot straight in.

Make sure your pots are on the dry side! Makes transplanting easy!
But yeah you can plant the seed in a 3 gal pot. Be careful not to over water it tho

Yes its possible.

Transplanting is not necessary. Its just a preference some have.

Try different techniques and you will see that some things can go well without, such as transplanting.
