Rooting Hormone for Transplanting

Shouldn't really transplant autos. Put autos in the pot you wanna finish with just water a little bit less not to drown them. Autos flipping to flower around 4 weeks don't take to well to transplanting. It can be done obviously but better off not shocking them cause they have so little time to recover before flower. You want your autos stress free from start to finish to get the most out of them. Imo
wrong

This is just bad information. Please stop giving advice if it's anything like this...

I can give photo after photo of transplanted autos that turned out fine. I don't understand the reluctance to transplanting. You might stress a plant transplanting if you're Edward Scissorhands but other than that the worry isn't warranted.
Some people have difficulty with a simple task like transplanting. I don't know what they're doing but when I transplant I break up the roots and sometimes tear a good portion of them off. I never experience the transplant shock so many seem to experience. But I just put them in more substrate and give them a little water. I don't use any of the products that many do when they transplant yet they experience transplant shock and I don't. Some people tend to do too much which can be worse than doing nothing at all.

I've only grown a few autos. A couple I started in small pots like I do photos and then transplanted. A couple I planted directly in their final containers. They all grew about the same. The ones I transplanted were not stunted. Couldn't tell the difference at harvest time between the transplanted and started in the final pot plants.

The plants will obviously do better without disturbing the roots when they are on a schedule that u can't alter. Photo's you can veg longer and the roots and plant have time to bounce back before flipping the lights.If u guys can't understand that then that's your problem not mine. And 3 of you in this thread are the ones giving bad advise. Ripping roots apart and no big deal, really ? It's sad I'd even have to explain this to members who have been around here for a long time. So your telling me root size or mass makes no difference on yield or the finished product ? Really ? Ya u can rip roots apart as long as they have time to bounce back and grow more so u can still get a good finished product. But by 3 weeks into flower plants stop growing leaves and branches and shit and that includes roots. They focus on flowering and reproducing bud and or seed. Not growing more roots. And ya I have gotten root rot in dwc and cut the roots off and had them grow back before flipping the lights. But you don't think that still effected the end product one way or another as apposed to growing health roots from day one ? Then you guys are delusional period.
U guys trying to discredit me. Go ahead, just making yourselves look like fools. And in the end it's just a matter of opinion. So congratulations
What? Yes I rip roots apart. I've been doing it for decades with all kinds of plants and not just cannabis. You obviously don't know anything about root pruning or even basic plant science. Plants will continue to grow roots even after they start flowering. I've transplanted weeks into flower and the plants filled up the pots with new roots, no transplant shock, and no effect on growth.

I don't need a bad lesson in growing plants from you. How long have you been growing and have you grown anything other than cannabis? Because I've found that those that have had a few harvests of cannabis but have never grown any other plants are usually stuck on all the cannabis nonsense and their knowledge comes only from youtube and forums. Not from any significant hands on experience.

The only one delusional is you. If you're going to call me a fool then you better know what the hell you're talking about because the only one looking like a fool is you because you don't have a clue.

Your the one with out any clue. And you are an ignorant fool. As in ignorant as in clueless. Cause damaging roots will damage the end product period. And just because you have been doing it for years doesn't make it right or doesnt mean your not an ignorant fool, period !!!
You really are that dumb. The ones that are the quickest to the name calling are the dumbest.

You really do know everything don't you? You should write a book or start a youtube channel. You'd fit right in and before you know it you'd become a legend.

What is dtw in coco ? Yes organic does seem to taste a little better. But I think it depends on the flush of hydro, and drying and the cure makes a huge difference. Believe it or not I get alot of surprised faces when people say how sweet and smooth my bud is and I tell them it's hydro. Not trying to toot my own horn just saying hydro can be good if done right !!

Good for u, u didn't kill them, congratulations
It's not bad advise. Do some research and maybe test one without transplanting. Like I said it can be done but auto do better without transplanting them. And just because I have a different opinion, doesn't mean I am wrong or it's bad advise. You do you is all. I am giving info that'll actually help IMHO. Take it leave it. And I transplant all the time just not my autos
Have you transplanted autos or are you just going on bro-science that you heard some other bad grower say?

Yes I've run autos without transplanting. Transplanting grows better plants period. It promotes forming a better root ball.

I have numerous large healthy autos that have been transplanted every time. I have physical proof not an opinion.

No need to research anything - “ all plants can be transplanted“. So I call bullshit on your BROSCIENCE.

Autos actually prosper from transplant - instead of final pot as most noobs do. In final pots , taproot races to bottom and begins to circle.
From a solo cup transplant - roots have begun to form a plug . That plug will now allow roots to go laterally and not just to bottom.
‘Next you are going to tell me that if I start an auto in say a coco solo I can’t transplant that into a straight perlite hempy or ( Gulp :( ) a “ soil “ medium. Many here have grown more autos than we can count. They are not special.

I even top , supercrop , defol them ….. big whoop it still thrives. Rooting continues regardless of bloom .

Ya u got me on that one. I'll admit it. Dtw, I knew what it means, drew a blank when I read it at first. But again I can admit it. Unlike the bad advise your giving new growers. And yes u can root prune, it'll actual make roots branch out more. But doing to an auto or just before going to flower whether it is canabis or tomatoes for that matter is not good advise. And that is fact ! And I already said I don't know everything and am no expert. And appreciate other ideas, thoughts and opinions. Your the one who that won't accept someone else's opinion or idea on damaging roots. We all have done dump things for years. Doesn't mean it was right. We usually grow up and get wiser, and realize it probably wasn't the smartiest thing to do. And stop doing it. But then there are others who just never grow up and or would rather just stay ignorant. Instead of trying to figure out how to do things better or smarter. If everybody just accepted ignorance and didn't try to improve anything, we would still be living like cave men. Why not we did it for years and managed to get by. Why change or improve anything ?
You're a waste of time. You can't even spell yet you're going to try and teach me about growing plants. You seem to have accepted your own ignorance.

And now you're teaching me about growing tomatoes? Too funny. I do fine in my small garden. Maybe you can teach me how to drive next. Have a nice day.

Nobody cares what you grow. I don't and I'm not impressed anyway. You're just the typical yahoo that can grow weed and are now an expert and know more than anyone else. Anyone that does things differently than you is spreading bad advice.

I really like how fools like you try and change the narrative. You're now running around claiming I gave bad advice and am telling people to tear up their roots. I never did. The discussion was on transplanting and you ignorantly stated that you shouldn't transplant autos. People told you they do it all the time. I said I do as well and even rip up the roots from time to time. I never advised anyone to do anything. I do a lot of things without any issue that others like you would screw up.

You're the one that doesn't know what they're talking about. People already corrected you and you got upset and lashed out. Everyone is wrong but you.

This one's for you. I also grow 7 ft tall plants in 2 liter pots. I suppose I can't do that either without stunting the plant.

I transplanted yesterday and it perked up today. I have a double grape break soil today and another frooty by the foot by Atlas went in the soil today.

My transplant is looking like I need to feed it. Thoughts/recommendations?

The 5th set of leaves are popping out now. The 4th is small but growing. Never fed and it's day 15. Soil was a mixture of FFOF, promix and perlite. Will feed with Dr earth all purpose and flower girl, worm castings.

I don't know soil but I'm pretty sure FFOF is already loaded with nutrients. Should last a month or so.
