I am currently growing outdoors at my old house, I am in the process of moving and my plants are an issue...
Idk how I'm supposed to go about transplanting it from outside, inside.
I know plants have a tendency to go into shock when you transplant them...Or you can rip the roots etc.
Anyways, I need to know how to move my plants from outside, to in without killing them lol.

My plants are all about 3ft tall or more, they are 8 weeks and 4 days old, and they've shown sex.
The stems are pretty thick, about as thick as a sharpie pen.
I just need an experienced transplanter to help me out here lol.

Well you will stress the plants, but its possible. Now an outdoor in the ground plant will have a massive sprawling and deep root system, providing the bed below the topsoil allows for it. Start first by digging the perimeter around the plant away. The furthest outstretched arm and about a foot further all the way around the plant about 2 feet deep and 1 foot wide. If you see no or very little roots then you can dig a bit closer to the plant. But once you establish the edge of the roots, then go deeper. You want to get underneath the roots and then lift the entire plant from the bottom up out of the hole. Try not to make it narrower at the bottom until you get it out. Once the cylinder of dirt and plant is out simply find a big enough container. Add good soil fertilize with b vitamins. Trim what won't grow @ the bottom because nothing can beat the sun and grow!

It might kill them if you damage the root system to much. You might have to top them to keep them from dying when transplanting. I just moved a 5 foot tall plant the other day it was male. I cut the top three feet off of it then dug up the root ball. It survived I just moved it down wind cause it was a male and I want to make some seeds.

I recommend topping the plant to dig it up and move it.
