No more transplant shock!!

[Indagrow]

If I go a little late to pot up and have a visible mat of roots when I pull the plant of the pot, I'll splay the distal end of the root system gently to help expand the footprint in the new media. I may get some TP from this but I think it helps making the massive root mass I strive for. I just grew up with this knowledge transplanting flowers in the garden with my mother... Did she put me on the wrong path?

Not necessarily. If it's working well and they don't get too shocked...go for it.
Personally, I don't. I feel that the excess will produce vast amounts of new growth from there.....I just don't want to "disturb" them much at transplant.

Personal choice.

BTW, my mom did that too!

I dont have any shock ever....just make sure the plant isnt super dry when transplanting

Yeaa.. I don't know why it's a challenge, if it is, it's probably not time for a transplant.
sadly, I think probably 85% of the growers that can figure out which pedal makes their car go, and which makes the car stop, has "mastered" the rudimentary art of transplanting.
haha

What's up fellas and ladies it's your boy once again, and I just had to let you guys know since I started growing again I haven't had any transplant shock while using Advanced Nutrients which I find to be quite amazing.

And when I say no transplant shock I mean absolutely zero!! So let me give you an example, so just the other day I transplanted my five ladies from 5 gallon pots to 10 gallon smart pots, I know you guys aren't going to believe me but by the time I finish transplanting the second lady the first one had already begin growing again, it takes me about a hour and a half to transplant each one so within an hour and a half she had already began putting down new roots and was showing visible growth which is absolutely astonishing in my book!!

Ok here's the pictures, the first picture was yesterday right before transplant the next picture is a picture I just took moments before this post!!View attachment 3531976View attachment 3531979 View attachment 3531980

Hey Enigmatic, what the fuck are you doing for an hour and a half to do one transplant? Holy shit...

 

[Enigmatic Ways]

Hey Enigmatic, what the fuck are you doing for an hour and a half to do one transplant? Holy shit...

Taking my time and doing everything very methodically, and each one of those ladies took four gallons of water apiece so that takes a minute to give one plant 4 gallons of water properly. And that also includes all the prep time mixing of nutrients mixing of ProMix and perlite, cleaning up after transplants are done.

4gallons! cmon man...this isnt rocket science...put the sucker in there and put dirt around it ffs

Yea 4 gallons, and no it's not rocket science that would have took much longer lol

Got it. On behalf of the growing community, your privilege of giving transplant advice has been revoked.

Lol, why?

 

[Bugeye]

Lol, why?

1. Your nutrient choice has nothing to do with transplant shock
2. 1.5 hours to do a single transplant is embarrassing.

Ha ha ha. I was an OR nurse. We did emergency appendectomies in less time.

OK I feel you...But in the end all that matters is the results.

 

[Enigmatic Ways]

And as always my results will speak for themselves....y'all know what it is!

I have never got transplant shock and I pot up 4 times to get to the finishing pots...

The day after potting up, they always look better...

I pot up after they are bone dry...and the watering of the new dirt & new pot makes them perk up 100% of the time.
So I just can't relate to this TP issue at all...

I potted up 10 plants in about 2 hours...only because I make a giant mess and try to clean up a bit as I go...Lol.

 

[tangerinegreen555]

It's not rocket science as I've mentioned on other threads...common sense makes the world go 'round...

Don't make a big job out of a little one, maybe? Handle with care? If you pot up dry, how can that fresh watering cycle not make them happy?

My shock levels are near zero and success rates are solid by using western states vitamin B and seaweed extract. I'm talking about fresh bubbled clones with a few roots going into soil, not an established plant going into a larger pot. Before I would get some droop for a day or so, but now my plants stay perky.

And I never transplant bone dry. In the larger pots it is too difficult for me to keep the root ball intact. I like to water the night before I transplant so everything is slightly damp and holds together well. No shock for me either! Just be gentle.

A good time to sprinkle on some mycos if you go organic.

Yeah, it was tougher for me in damp pots...I've had them completely fall apart damp...and still saw no shock...maybe I'm just lucky...??? Everybody does it different by what is more comfortable and worked before, I guess...
