^ alright, will do :D

anyway, i just transplanted my plant..
during her sleep time..
i think she was a little root bound..
her roots were somewhat cluttered down the bottom..
like they had no growing space, so they grew up along the pot..
good thing i transplanted her the second i got scotts potting soil..
i took out all the sticks & bark pieces before i used the soil..
& added some scotts perlite also for better drainage..

pictures will follow up shortly..
once it's morning.. day ten for her :D

i know, she's still small yet..
but, her roots are growing out of the bottom already..
there's only one 4" long one coming out..
but, there are others as well.. just not as long..
& eventually will be long, if i don't transplant..

ure crazy transplanting that small plant... its normal that roots grows out of the pot. its how roots grows.

when you transplant plants - soil inside pot should be all covered wih roots.

crazy? lol
i said it was a good thing that i transplanted..
when i shook the whole pot shaped soil out..
the roots were half way growing upwards..
so, if i waited for another 2 weeks..
the roots will be growing from the top of the soil..
which is a BAD THING.. lol

appreciate the feed though..
she was transplanted safely..
once it's lights on.. pictures will be up :D

^ thanks man :)

here she is after transplant..
she's now on day eleven (morning time for her)
three more days & she will be two weeks old..

everything's going really well..
i don't think she knows i transplanted her..
i transplanted her in the dark with a green light..
i was just taking precautions trying not to stress her AT ALL!

although, when i transplanted her..
she got a lot of dirt on her leaves & on the main stem..
also, A LOT of dirt covering her side shoots..
i dusted off as much as i possibly could..
there's still some dirt/soil on her main stem & leaves..
but, oh well.. it shouldn't mess with her too much..

comments/opinions are appreciated :D

^ thanks man :D

yeah, i grabbed a q-tip to reach in..
my node spacing is less than a centimeter..
it's like half a centimeter of node spacing..
so, it's pretty hard to get up in there..
i got the big fan leaves though..
it's just the main stem & side shoots that i can't reach..
even with a sponge.. i tried to use the flat smooth ones..
the q-tip kind of worked, it just didn't get them all off..

thanks for the tip/input though..
i appreciate it :)

You will realize after a couple transplants that its Not Nearly as stressful to the plant as some people make it out to be. I have transplanted outdoors, under 1000w lights, as long as you dont have long term light exposure to the roots your fine, I would be more worried about roots drying out and that would take a couple hours. It only takes minutes to transplant.

^ i know what you mean..
but, i just take that precaution & use a green bulb..
it just makes me feel more comfortable..

all i did was hold the pot upside down..
& had the stem between my finger..
let the pot slide out & put her into the bigger pot..
she didn't know i transplanted her..
because, she never drooped at all..
just kept on growing & doing her thing.. lol

you transplant under lights?
& how do you transplant?
you shake off the old medium?
just curious.. haha
