Put it back on 18/6 or 24/0 and it will start to reveg. in about a week or two. It will not start to flower until u put it back on 12/12.

You didn't answer my question. I know how to bring it back to veg. My question was if you clone from a flowering plant will the clone be in flowering or veg once it takes root?

So you can have more room to work with when your burring your stem and position it better

If you dont break the soil loose then wheres your room to re plant it

Unless your just transplanting in a bigger container then you just bury it when you add the extra soil for the bigger container
I always plant up after roughly a week to a bigger pot and Bury down to the top leaves. Works a treat for me, got two six foot plants just finishing which I've only just had to stake to support. Wish I'd topped them to be truthful but first grow in ten years so wanted to keep things simple.

Personally I think this would be a great thread if you were growing nightshade,s not ganja . Not everything from tomato culture works on herb .

This is just to show you how easy it is to bury those long stretchy stems , After you replant them make sure you lower your lights so they wont continue to stretch...

This is just to show you how easy it is to bury those long stretchy stems ,

After you replant them make sure you lower your lights so they wont continue to stretch

I do not have a pic of one of those seedlings with the long ass stem reaching for a light that's 2ft high

But i got this one that i internally let slightly stretch a little , you can see the slight stretch at the bottom of the stem

You do not want your soil wet when you do this

its best for the soil to be dry so the extra soil will come off the roots easier

After you take your plant out , GENTLY break lose the soil from around the roots

After you got the excess soil off the roots , put some soil back in the bottom of your cup or pot

you dont want to put your plant right in with the roots hitting the bottom of your cup because you dont want the chance for the roots to grow out the drain holes

so put some soil in the bottom first then put your seedling back in

position your seedling at desired height for your stem to be buried at

i would bury all the way up to the Cotyledon leaves ,

after your have replanted and buried your stem you can then give it just A LITTLE bit of water

the part of the stem that you buried will eventually start to grow roots

your plant will pretty much not go into shock at all from this

just make sure your gentle when your braking the lose soil off the roots

Like i said this is not a bad stretchy plant but the same principle applies with those long ass stretchy stems

hope this helps you all that has the long stretchy seedling stem problem

remember to lower your lights so they wont continue to stretch
I'm curious since this will make roots that sound to me will basically be right at the stem. If someone were to break there roots and they dug the stem down would that help add onto root production/growth

Yes just re plant them in the same pots you have them in now

and bury the stem all the up to those leaves .




Leave your seedlings in the pots they are in now

Let it build up a good root system first filling up the pot with her roots

then transplant into a bigger pot

Also you do not need to give any nutes to your young seedlings , i would wait till about the 3rd or 4th week then give a little nutes 1/2 strength

Also

you are watering to much

you said you watered yesterday then again today ,

only water every few days after your soil starts getting dry

When I germinate in little cups I only fill them half way at first... When the seedling starts to stretch out a bit I will finish filling the cup up. Seems to work so far. (I like the clear beer cups so I can see the roots to know when she needs to get a bigger home)

Thanks my man ,

so i figured i would just start a simple easy thread ya know ...:peace:
Dang brother I wish I'd read this yesterday. I killed 'Stretch' trying to repot him w/o really looking at things. It's cool because 'Happy' and 'Doc' are still rocking along :) Thanks for the advice.
