repotting?

[KushmasterFatt]

what is the rule of thumb on transplanting? is 2 weeks enough or should i wait longer? whats everyones opinion?

 

[glasseye]

pop the plant out of its container and see if its rootbound. thats what really matters

 

[KushmasterFatt]

also from clone what what potting plans do you guys use? straight into large pots? or stagger them? red cup, 1 gal, 3 gal? or red cup straight to 3 gallon?

* i did from dome to red cup to 1 gal bag, also im trying to flower soon, just trying to get optimal growth in the next week or so, so that i can flip them 12/12

The less you transplant, the less you stress your plants. If you have the room to go straight into 3 gallons from clones, go for it. If you have to start small, no problems there either, just try to repot before they get rootbound. If they're rootbound, just break up the root ball a little bit before you pot it.

for me plants always droop when they need transplanting, droop like they need water (since i know i never overwater) and dont perk up when i water them.

hmm, well, a few of them are kind of droopy for seemingly no reason...but they have only been in 1 gal bags for maybe 2 1/2 wks

If your plants are growing fast and healthy, and you have good enough skills that you cause no transplant shock at all, then you'll probably have to transplant every 1-2 weeks during veg., depending on what increments of pot sizes you're using.

My plants are pretty big before I put them in there final 10g pot.


I start with a 16oz cup. The plant will stay here for 1 month,Up pot to 1g stays here until plants are sexed another month at least. Then into the 10g for flowering. plants can get very large in this arrangement.

and you have good enough skills that you cause no transplant shock at all,

I have to disagree, you may have good enough skills to cause very little transplant shock, but anytime you transplant any plant, it causes some stress.
