Ello everybody

i was wondering earlyer today, i thought it might be a good idea or help if you transplanted in sayyy the last 3-4 weeks of flowering.
i thought it would be good for the plants because, by the last few weeks of flowering, the roots are all rapped around in the bottom of the bucket. and if you transplanted, the roots could stretch and have more room to grow again. and after the transplant, you hit it with your bloom boost or w/e your using for the next week or 2....then flush.

sooo would this maybe help the plant at all? maybe increase in bud swelling? or something.
ill be waiting for your comments.
 
it actually slows growth; like with other transplants, you get a lag, while the roots grow into their new space. at this time, the plant will grow very little.

don't transplant in flower unless you absolutely have to. it can also cause you plants to herm...
 
Well, since you say you're kind, I will be kind as well. I wouldn't say that transplanting may cause hermies, but I am agreeing with you that there just isn't any need to transplant midway thru flowering. It won't do the plant any good, and may cause harm.

HTH :mrgreen:
 
Id say not to do it by the time your in flower you should have them in a fianl stage pot with figuring for max growth. The transplant will slow growth and cause stress which could lead to hermies or lower yields.

right on. as i stated, it can cause herms, as transplant shock can (i do know this, lol) stress your plant into sexual reversal. i transplanted some clones that were in one gallon pots halfway through, all three threw balls. that does not mean, however, that if you transplant in flower, you will get hermies. if you do xplant that late, use superthrive, once. it will help alleviate the shock and stress.
 
That seems to give validation to the argument that it is better to repot immediately into your biggest pot and avoid the shock of transplanting from one size container to the next to the next.
 
it would cause stress to transplant, as everyone says. however, if you need more root space:

get another container the same size or bigger,
fill with medium and moisten,
carefully cut the bottom off the container containing the plant,
and place on top of the new, medium filled container.

thisll give your roots more room to grow without causing stress to your ladies.
 
absolutely! and you get more room then with a standard pot. 1 gallon on top a 3 gallon is 4 gallons! whoa. but i only plant once. my clones go right into their flower container.

Going into too large of a pot will slow/stop growth until the roots catch up/establish themselves.

A well-established plant that is slightly rootbound will not shock when transplanted.

My take is that the transplanting aspect is valuable because on every transplant you VISUALLY see the roots and can ascertain how healthy they are. When you put a small plant in a large pot you can't see this progesssion and won't know the level of root growth traking place inside that container.
I've tried this previously myself..and the plant had a MUCH smaller rootball (and thus, a smaller YIELD) at harvest than the plants that were transplanted up a few times.

to each their own, but I think transplanting is valuable to most growers.

good luck

I just wanted to add that SUPERTHRIVE works!!! I transplanted and I didnt come across any type of shock, seen new growth in the same day...

a quarter tablespoon to a gallon will do wonders when transplanting

WHOA COWBOY!!! superthrive is super concetrated; 1/4 tsp is for outdoor trees, and should only be used at that strength once! st indoors, and for our uses should be used as labeled. one drop per gallon. that's all it takes...

kp
 
i tryed superthrive once and thats all it took, i was addicted. my family tried to give me an intervention but it didnt help. now they are all hooked on this stuff! lol
 
thanks to everyone for posting. i had the same question. i've got yellow tips which i'm sure is diagnosed as root bound. i want to transplant but i've heard about slow growth and hermie stress. i think i need to do it though, for the better of the roots. superthrive it is. i'll just be gentle with the girls, like always...
