So we have our yearly inspection Tuesday at the apartment so the tent is moving for 2 days to a different location about 15min away from the current location till after the inspection. Question is how would you doit safely without damage or shock to plant she is in her first week of flower as of today

On one occasion I had to move a mother... A plastic bag from the store covered it enough for it to not be recognizable from the outside view and it gave it plenty of light to keep it happy. If it needs to be moved and kept in the dark use a heavy black trash bag. Keep the air conditioner on if it's hot... or vise versa...

For the roots, wrap in wet paper towels, then zip lock baggy...

I put my flowering plants on a big trellis and use vine clips to pin it in place. Therefore, moving the plant becomes as easy as moving the trellis. I've had to do this kind of move before. To keep the roots safe, I slid a 5 gallon bucket over them and clipped the handle to the trellis. Hope this helps!

you just have one bucket right? you can just empty it and drag her in the bucket over to the new place. 15mins out of water won't hurt. you could mist the roots with water halfway to make sure they don't dry completely.

Lol. Just cover it up and move it, id advise on removing the water first.

Plant should be good for atleast an hour or two without water. Bring it to the safe zone fill it up with water, then empty when you need to bring it back.

Shitty situation to be in. A friend who grew in an apartment would just tuck all the ducting inside the tent and say it was a closet for clothes. Never really got questioned.

I'd move it to be safe.

Thanks y'all I was clearly over complicating things in my head haha (very common) and hey rkymtnman yeah been meaning to update you guys! It's doing great after all your help got the roots looking pretty she is perky and green and grows noticeably almost daily I'm surprised after how sad it looked for a while but we got through it and now it's on to flower.
Thanks for the quick help I'm set with a plan and plus didn't see many threads online about plant transportation so undoubtably this will help others as well
