I sort of copied this idea from BOG, but transplant is much higher.

Nice, that a 1 gallon pot?

mdanzig · 05-25-2009, 10:36 PM

Yes, one gallon.

the key i guess is making sure you have a big enough root mass to support the thing till the roots dig in, otherwise it may topple over. i imagine you dont want to do this till the plant is 3 weeks or so

Correct, and as Ive noticed over the years is that the root mass is indeed mostly concentrated at the bottom of the cup that I use. Im not sure if this would work with 12/12 strains. It does work great for what Im doing. You have to be vigilant and watch for drying out of your soil, but the rewards are great. The plant uses nealy 90% of the available room within the pot.

how do you keep the upper mass moist until it's set?

Sometimes I have to water only the very top part, as I mentioned you have to keep an eye, but its not that difficult, at least I never have a problem, as I'm in my grow area every day

ok, I guess being there everyday is a big plus to this technique.
How would you do it if you couldn't be (there everyday), and do you think this would work on an outdoor op?

Yes Bog did do that he does not do that anymore. When he did do that he sunk in more then yours. Let us know what you get out of that .
