Are these ready for 3 gal pots?

[Daveindiego]

Or is it still too soon?

Planted on 10/8 using Rapid Rooters.
Sprouted on 10/13 and 14, two weeks ago today.
Transplanted to Coco on 10/15.

Under T5 lights.

pop one out of the cup it will tell u,i like solid root ball less stress

 

[vilify]

I would guess no. let them dry out and work the plants out of the cups like suggested and check the roots.

see the roots poking out ur drain holes

thats good enough for me

imo a rootball is what builds in the home pot not the nursery pot

besides you have used rapid rooters

at 3usg is good for 3 month grow ideal for winter

mean 1 month veg and 2 months bud/flower

to my blog the 12 week grow

For their size I'd say too soon yet. They won't have enough root mass to hold the rootball together for the transplant and it will fall apart causing more stress. let them dry good before transplanting once they have enough root mass to make it easy and stress free. I saw off the bottom of the root ball with a bread knife to make the roots branch out with more feeder roots that spread out and never have rootbound plants after harvest in 4gal pots of ProMix HP.

Thanks! I thought it appeared too soon myself.

I was also planning on transplant after watering, so that when I pop it out of the cup, it doesn’t disintegrate on me.

 

[Daveindiego]

Another point, are these plants pictured even considered to have entered vegetative growth, or are they still considered ‘seedlings’

I haven’t begun the clock on these yet, I still consider these seedlings.

I don't do that either

but water after I've transplanted and before lights out

so they wake up in their new pot

ready for the days 'blast'

these are seedlings at 2 weeks but ready to go veg 18/6

see the deal is you have used rapid rooters

so much of this is dumb

rooters do all the work for you

often I go from Rooters to 3usg

as the rootball is condensed in that nylon mesh bag

good luck

I transplanted mine around that size to 1.5gal pots (next transplant to 4 gal 1 week before flower). I wait until the leaves are stretched to the edge of the cups (beer cups). with Promix HP I found them delicate and I half exploded one. I found watering a day prior helps keep it together,HP is so light and airy, too dry and they easily fall apart if there isn't enough roots wrapping around, too wet and its heavy and could break apart even worse. I found \ that my main tap roots were coiled up at the bottom.

Then you're doing it wrong.

 

[SPLFreak808]

Should you transplant?

Same exact age, all 3 started in half gallon pots.

10/20

10/24

10/27

 

[OldMedUser]

Good argument for transplanting sooner for sure.

I always just toss them into moist dirt, usually breaks ground in 2-4 days thanks to the stable year-around environment of my location i usually don't need to do anything special.

Those 3 beans started 27 days ago under 80w, about 2 weeks in they all slowed down and started stretching, so i picked 1 to keep and left the others in the same half gallon pot (I'm giving the others away).

i was surprised to see a 5" width of growth 4 days after transplant, my soil is looking a bit hot.
