How much soil?

[JoDirt]

My container has between 8-10 centimeters deep of soil, is that enough, or did I screwed up? Will it cause rot, or only a less bigger plant?

My plant is 2 weeks old and his an autoflowering strain. I have, since 2 days, a burn problem that I can't figure out.

Thanks

I have bo idea how much a centimeter of soil is. Fot burn issue, what soil are you using, did you add anything to it, have you added nutes, if so what kind, how much, and how often?...pics would be nice.

For my burn problem, I started a new thread in mj plants problems

As for centimeters, 10 centimeters is about 4 inches. Is that deep enough?

no...I have an auto in a 3 gallon bag it is in my profile pic. I started in a 4" pot and transplanted to the bag. She is 36 days old and budz are a poppin!

Well my pot is large like yours, its just that the soil is not filling it up completely, let me take a picture i'll edit this post in 5 minutes

Edit: Here's the pics: Its a 12" wide container. How do I transplant without damaging the roots?? And should I wait till she's stronger?



Or could I just wait till she's taller and then add soil to the container around the stem?

i would wait until its a bit bigger, then transplant it into a pot that is at least 3 gallons. if u let the soil dry before u transplant it its easier to handle it with out it falling apart. but u deffently going to need her in a larger pot.

It looks like a 4 or 5 gallon container which should be fine. You can transplant back into the same container after filling it up to the top with soil. Just wait a bit until she's bigger before you transplant. Like a week or two.

I always have to water before to stop the soil from falling apart.

Your soil should be to the top,but now just wait until she has a stalk thick enough that won't snap easily and then you can transplant.
I wait until the soil is almost dry but not all the way,then i pick the pot up and tilt and pull the plant up from the base of the stalk the
soil will follow,if the soil is too wet you risk breaking roots and pretty much making a dirty mess with soil falling everywhere.
