Control for smilers can't be bought

They look good to go for a transplant, I’d say anytime you feel like it.

Agree with Hellraiser, let them get dry, transplant. Looking nice and healthy!

Yeah watering it the day before transplant should be fine as promix dries pretty quick.

Hell raiser has you covered here, exact same advice I would give.
Looking healthy.
Don’t forget to add bacteria! Mykos, great white, voodoo juice, tirbus whatever you use.

Well recharge is a different type of prof but I’m curious if you like it better than tribus keep plants separate and after a couple grows let us know if you notice a difference

so i bought 7 gallon fabric pots today and started prepping them for transplant from the 1 gallon pots tomorrow. (we will come back to that in a second).

I filled 4 pots then realized 2 of the 3 remaining pots had no handles. :rofl:

So it throws a monkey wrench into my transplant day. that being said is it ok to go from the small 1 gallon fabric into 7 gallon pots? how would i water the promix differently with that much extra medium if at all? thanks for the advice!

It’s fine yes, slowly potting up some people do like to a e gallon then into a 7 or a 10 but you don’t have to they are photos they are very flexible.

I don’t understand your water question…?

i guess overwatering the promix would be difficult unlike say happy frog or ocean forest where it is going to stay wet for a week.

also about the tribus. over at greengenes channel he uses the recharge and tribus together and fulvic acid (once a month) which i need to pick up still. I was thinking about trying to follow some kind of primer at least. he talks about it around the 18 minute mark.

I do know of green gene and I have followed some of his stuff I didn’t know he uses the recharge as well hmm

I’m in a bit of a different nutrient line then him
I’m in chemgro 4-20-39

Yeah promix acts sorta like coco to my understanding.
You won’t over water in it.

transplant day. I pre soaked the soil this morning.
pretty basic. dug out a space the size of the 1 gallon pot.
i then loosened up the plant from the sides of the pot and bottom.
flipped it over and slowly worked it out as I grasp the stem between my fingers supporting the weight of the plant with my hand.
Then once they came out popped them in the hole.

I will say I am not a fan of transplanting from fabric pots. I probably wont do it again. The roots stuck to the bottom of the pots and there were plenty still attached when i removed them. I dont want to cause that kinda of stress or shock so I am not super happy right now. Next time first pots will be plastic again. I hope they recover well. Lesson learned i just hope it wasn’t a costly one.

I gave the plants in the 7 gallon pots a full feeding of jacks 3-2-1 and recharge… about a gallon each and had good runoff.

Ive got a couple 9 inch fans in there circulating air keeping the leaves twitching.

the root balls all stayed intact. i just lost some roots on the bottoms of the pots. no massive chunks of soil or anything. One plant… one with odd shaded leaves is definitely not happy and giving the droop bad. I had the lights at about 120@24 but i dimmed them to 100w to maybe relieve some stress. not sure if thats the right thing to do or not.

I guess all i can do now is wait and see.

So far so good. :crossed_fingers: All the plants including Lil’ Droopy have perked back up. I did dial the lights back a notch and will leave them like that today as by the time i get any input on weather to turn them back to 120@24" ill be gone to work. :rofl: I figure it might lower the stress level a bit.

Hopefully recovery doesnt take to long but a recovery is a recovery right?

still shy of my vpd zone 73-75F at 60-65rh but it kinda is what it is right now.
