I wouldn't be too concerned about shock.
When I T/P, I actually cut an "X" across the bottom of the rootball and open it up over a cone of soil in the middle of new pot when I drop it in, and they aren't even phased by it.
Good job on keeping good lighting! I can tell because you're not showing any stretching.:hump:

Ahhh that's great to hear I feel a lot better now :) but yeah she didn't really show any signs of stress that I could see. Cheers Bakatare666 really appreciate your help! I will upload a couple photos in a week or so to show anyone that's interested and I'll probably have more questions by then. Once again thanks a lot for your feedback! :peace:

I usually transplant when the soil is dry. So they look a little droopy anyway. After transplant they do look kinda rough. But then i water them, and i add mycorrhizae to the plant. It helps with the root system when you transplant. All the dirt becomes more alive and roots supposedly go crazy. After the first day they usually look better but after two days theyre already growing again.

Hello again guys,

Today I re-done some LST and topped a couple collars. I just thought I'd put a couple pictures up of her for anyone interested and once again I'd love some feedback on how she is looking. Thanks in advance for anyone who gives me feedback! It Is very much appreciated! :D

Hello all I just have a question for you guys I'm quite confused but yeah hopefully some one can help me out :). Ok so I have been doing some reading on the white widow strain and websites are saying it should be pretty much finished flowering after 9 weeks and I'm 7 weeks, 4 days and I haven't flipped :/... When should I flip? Considering I topped a couple heads 2 days ago? :wall::peace:
Thanks in advance for those who take time to help out cheers :D!

Oh i know that hydro kills yields but its the guys first grow. You guys are talking cloning, running an ebb n flow table, phing, twenty plants, new gear, more lights, cloning solution, and learning a whole new setup before hes even attempted to cure his first bud. If he grows it out and runs the 600 itll cost him like 20 bucks a month, X say 5 months. 100$ and hell net probably a lb. so really it wont cost him all that much right. Itll pay for the equipment plus more, and he doesnt have to worry about spending another fortune or one of the many new experiments your suggesting failing. Just sayin...you mad scientists :shock:

This is what i did. My first grow i grew 4 plants just basic in soil with 2x 1000 watts in a tent. Pulled 2 1/2 pounds and made enough money to buy a flow n grow, mini split, all quality meters, a run of nutes, intake fan, ect...

I say. Transplant it into something bigger, flower it out and pull close to a lb. Take a clone and mother it out or get more seeds. Then invest it. Build a room and quadruple your yield.

You are thinking of flower time. You can veg for 2 fucking years for all it matters. Once they have been in a 12/12 light cycle, thats when you count the days of flower.

Wow that sounds great! For this one I'm just going to leave her be n just learn some of the basics through this grow, and hopefully get somewhat of a half decent yield for pretty much a first timer :P.
Thank you so much for your feedback Jkwrestling it is much appreciated and I like your idea :).

Hello once again all,

Just have a couple photos that I'm going to upload for anyone interested in the grow. :D I think everything seems to be going quite well most of the collars have grown back after topping and have started opening up. I was thinking I'm going to flip in roughly a weeks time, due to pot size n what not. But yeah I do love feedback so please feel free to post and let me know what you guys think or any tips for me are greatly appreciated! Thanks again RUI community :))!!

Shit man, been trying to get used to "Comodo" browser instead of the usual F'Fox I usually use, and been screwing around for over half an hour trying to remember how I add new folders for by bookmarks, but I can do it, then go back and try to add another and can't, then go have another shot, and come back and have to start from square one again. :(

IMHO, better to do when kinda dry at least, that way all the soil doesn't fall away from the roots.
If you do when TOO dry, it will all fall away, but if you do when too wet, will just be a huge ball of mud.

If the root balls dry and its roots are out to the edge and starting to curl around, signalling transplant, the dry root ball stays intact every time.
The more full of roots the pot is, the easier the transplant goes usually. Sometimes in fabric pots you have to peel the pot off the roots but they say thats good for the roots. A little root trim makes more root fingers pop off for ya.

Very nice. Id go wider still. Make sure you are training when the plants are super wet. Dry plants snap easier. Nice work sofar though.

Bush town...looks strong,looks like you can take 12 or more cuts down under before you change lighting to 12/12 from the lowers.
As I recall,the flowering period starts when the first signs of white pistols start showing,not when the light cycle is set.
Do you like edibles?

When you say cuts do you mean I should top a few more collars before flipping? Ok great I understand now :) and I prefer to smoke but I do make edibles here n there :)!
Thanks for your feed back Fandango I really appreciate it :)!!
