Let the soil dry-out a bit, have the new pots, soil and ph'd water ready. Gently tap the transplants out of the pot, lightly spray the roots with water, and gently seperate them from the soil ball, one at a time. Lightly mist the roots again, to prevent moisture loss and air pruning of the roots.

When prepping for transplanting, I add damp, not wet, soil to bottom and cake it all around the sides of the new pot. I place the seedling in, visualizing my leaving only 1/4 to 1/2 inches below the cotlydons, yet filling the container to about 1/2" from the top. (for future waterings)
Total plant height after transplant...about 1".
After visualizing how deep I want it, I collapse the dirt that is caked around sides, around and over the top of the roots. Then gently pack more soil. Do not pack so hard that it'll break or over-compress the roots. Water and grow as usual.
99% sucess rate.

thanks a lot for the help rusty_trichome, I'll owe you one! Well, if I can get it to work. I'm going to let this cycle finish off I think, get a few hours sleep and give this a try.. oh man.

Also got another seedling on the way incase this dies :-(

Wish me luck.

At this point I usually advise people NOT to try to break up the plants. When you re-pot, train them AWAY from each other. When males show, DON'T yank them; cut them off instead.

I don't claim to know the first thing about growing anything; hell, I can't make a Chia pet sprout.

Not that I'm arguing, but it works for me.
When times warrant, I will start two seeds per 1 cup pot, just to make sure all the pots have at least one seedling. I keep them this way till I transplant into a 1 gallon pot, at which time I coax the small rootball apart, and re-pot into seperate pots. Kinda like an insurance policy. I hate bare spots under the lighs.
Have gently done it many, many times. No worse that skewering the roots with a bamboo stake, trying to find the right position for it. Yes, I usually hear some roots 'snap', but I try and keep it to a minimum, and very rarely see any problems as a result.
Granted, you don't want to just rip 'em apart, but I would much rather seperate them before they grow up mainly because the dying roots of the cut-down plant start to rot, don't they?

just as I was going to do it too!! I will have a look at them and weigh up everyones advice, thankyou very much!

I'm a little worried about yield, so I may just use these 3 as mothers and take cuttings for the other pots, and see if i can do a perpetual grow.. guess I'll need to get a CFL and a seperate room for the mother..

Thanks again, more pictures on the way soon!

Hi guys.. Well I did the transplant.. oh my definately a fair bit of root damage from my beefy hand pulling them up.. I know a lot of root did survive, anyway.. after i pulled the first one out (that was the furthest away from the other 2) I decided that I would settle with transplanting one out only as I have a near? 50:50 chance that one of the other two will be male and I can kill it as soon as I know.

Thanks a lot for the guidance.. I'm actually considering putting some clonex watered down in the water and feeding it to them all, they will probably need it.

A big to all you homies, without you I would have nobody to share the love!

going to wash my hands and take a picture

Thanks again
Peace,

Hello Guys, I did promise didn't I? :-)

Pics @ Day 16

they have now been watered with 3ml clonex to 1 litre water

3/1000 = 0.03%

Hope this is not too much :-) Should just take care of any crazy root damage I did! Well, that is the idea

Even the germinating seeds got a teeeny bit!

they seem to be through the woods, good job people

I think you should be congratulating yourself...you did all the work!

Plant problems? Fill out the Troubleshooting Form BEFORE asking how you should fix it!

thanks homes, I got a picture for day 20 veg! Things are coming along nicely, the plant I removed has stunted growth, but that okay, it recovering and hasn't had any major problems at all.

I do have a question though if anyone can help. I want to top these, the strain is red hair skunk, it's F2 and I want to be cautious, how many nodes should I wait for, and where exactly should I cut, just above the highest node, isn't it? ahh, it has been too long since I've done this. Any advice welcome.

PS: I Did search the faqs but couldn't find a good guide with pictures, anyone know a good faq with pics on the forum?

Hey chief,

I wouldn't clip them before they have at least four sets of leaves. After that, if topping is the way you want to go, just clip right above the last node...or slightly into the new growth. (A.k.a., the "FIM" technique.)

I'll try attaching some pictures, but seeing that I'm technologically impaired, you may just have to follow the links in this thread I found:

FIM - Ending The Confusion

Since you're going to be growing two from the same container, you'll probably also want to think about doing some LST. That pot's going to get mighty crowded. Looking good, by the way. Keep the updates coming!

Thanks Mr Clandestine, you have been very helpful to me, good man!

The two plants intub together are on their 3rd or 4th set I think, i'll wait a few days till the 5th or 6th and give it a try :-)

dude, these things are stinking, Ima gonna have to get a carbonf ilter nowww.. now where is that money again! hehehe

AHA! Yeah, I'm already considering LST tieing on the two in together, cause they not gonna be much light if they growing into eachother. I'm also impressed with the additional bud sites that appear with this LST stuff.

Thanks again homes

Peace,

My pleasure, my friend! Growing my own medicine has become much more than a passing hobby for me, so I'm eager to try and help out whenever I can. I'm glad I was able to help.

Haha! That sweet, sweet funk...it stinks so good, doesn't it? Here are a few odor reduction ideas for folks on a budget:

haha thanks dude, would it surprise you that I've already read both?! hotdamn! I'm really tempted to buy a premade dude... will cost more but bah I will have to afford it.

Thinking budbox XL and a rvk100a, not sure yet though..

Quick update! Slight yellowing, but I think it is the light being warm, slight overwatering due to high transpiration and the allmix being a bit strong for it in it's early days.


If anyone has any advice go fer it homes,

oh by the way, looks like these are ladies, I see nice long pistols..
I did take a picture of that too but it came out terrible

Definitely wanna get them in their own pots ASAP.

I would say read the rest of the thread, but since you've been banned, I'll pass.


heeeeheee

transplant them, just be carefull. silly, i know. then when you replant them take stinkys and others advice. plant to just under the lowest set of leaves. i would deffinately be watering by more than capfulls, but make sure to let it dry somewhat in between. a moist, not wet, not dry pot would be the easiest to work with. moisten the new pots soil some too, it will keep the transplanting hole from caving in. lol

oops, if this doesnt make sence i only read the first page.

Looks like we have 2 females, yay!

Should I be able to identify sex in beginning of week 4 veg? Maybe I should hold out my judgement til flowering,

Any help appreciated,

Oh one other thing, the yellowing has me a little worried - but, I am holding out because the allmix is a little strong, and I was told to expect it.. Any opinions welcome, I know the infert soil is good for AT LEAST another 2 or 3 weeks before i will add biobizz fert solution into water,

Clandestine: not long now till my first FIM!!!!!!

Good deal, man! Be sure to tack another week or two onto your veg time, so that the plant has time to repair itself before flowering. You could also consider putting those ladies in bondage (LST), to let the sides can catch up to the new tops... if you have the patience to keep vegging, that is. Sometimes I've got the vegetative patience of a saint...other times, especially if my stash is running low, I can't be bothered to be any more patient than I absolutely have to! Your plants should soon be mature enough to show their sex (through pre-flowers), but you might see it quicker if you force them to flower. When I sex entire plants, I switch my main lighting to 12/12 and ease up on any fertilizers containing N for about a week prior. Males are generally discarded, and females get immediately put into a makeshift clone-box I made that has several cool spectrum CFLs running 24 hours a day. After all plants have been sexed, I move them back under the big lights until I'm ready to flower. Next time, you could also think about taking clones to determine who's who. If done correctly, you'll end up with another female plant to grow and eventually smoke!

That last picture looks good, bro. I see the slight yellowing, but I'm still not too confident at diagnosing other peoples problems. Have you done a soil flush yet? I've found that I can avoid a lot of problems in organic grows if I do semi-regular flushes. I try to flush at least once per month. Then I follow it up by feeding with a complete fertilizer at about 1/4 the strength of what it lists on the bottle. This keeps my pH stable, and doesn't let the soil get toxic.

But you may not be suffering from salt buildup, or an imbalanced pH, so I'd recommend heading over to the Plant Problems section and fill out the Troubleshooting form. Start a new thread with as much information as you can possibly list, and you should get some tailored advice from experienced growers. I'd hate to make an inaccurate diagnosis.

Be good, my friend. Looking forward to future updates!
