Hey everyone. I was hoping someone could help. I was going to push one over to the bud room tomorrow, but also want to transplant it into a bigger pot. I have heard that plants need a week of repair before making the transition. Is this true, or can I just transplant and push her over there on the same day?
Transplant and transition together?

youll be fine as long as you dont disturb the root system too much.
if youre in plastic cups, you can just cut them apart instead of having to bang the root ball out of it.
you want to make sure that the soil is damp when transplanting.

I transplant and flip on the same day all the time... never had a problem. You just gotta be gentle with your ladies roots, disturb them as little as possible. It also bears saying that this is alot easier accomplished if the plant is NOT root bound in its current container...
And yes, a transplant is alot easier if the medium you're using is good and moist... that way it holds together around the root ball, providing minimal disturbance.

Its best not to stress em before putting em in flower, but as others said I'm sure its not that big of a deal.

How big of a pot are you transplanting from?

I'm actually doing the same thing tomorrow. I'm taking two good sized plants out of three gallon buckets and putting them into 7's.View attachment 2542514View attachment 2542513 Then they are going right into my flower room. I'm glad you posted this because I had the same question.

how do you plan on removing her from the 3 gallon? just tip upside down? just curious as ill be doing the same soon
It was going from a 3 gallon to a 5. Now we may have to change our plan due to other non-plant related issues though.
That's what we've always done. Just carefully tip her out. We tend to do it the day after a water so the dirt holds together a little better and spray the bottom real quick if it is a little dry. Again, just so it doesn't fall apart when tipped back into the new pot.

I just did this today. I posted the results in my thread Should I transplant or do I need to? I went from 3 gallons to 5 gallons because they were all I could find. It wasn't easy going into just a bigger bucket.
