I think it might be time to transplant. What do you guys think?

That site explicitly allows private messaging for the sharing of fruit tree cuttings and seeds of edible plants. It is also the exact same format as this site. The only catch is all the old fruit farmers really hate cannabis and flag it if it comes up. Like banning knuckle heads on here. And you have to have basic trust level to PM so you have to click on a couple apple and plum threads with some likes.

Transplant day. They have grown roots almost to the bottom of the nursery bags. Started to get leggy so want to get them under the big light in the tent and in their future homes. I’m not sure if I want to cut the bags off now seeing that roots can grow out of them fairly easily. Though I worry if it might stunt them down the road. I’ll get photos of the bags they are in once I get them ready to pot.
Oh, do I wet all the soil in the 3gal or leave it bone dry and water a ring around the plants?

Leave well enough alone.
They grow thru so do not disturb the soil or root ball.
Good fun.
Dust the receiving soil with Mycorrhizae (I do).
Last week was the tie to pre-wet /moisten the receiving soil.
Now water outside the receiving hole to encourage root seeking.
Beyond me.
Add some to watering water.

Noted! I can’t freaking find my great white! I have the liquid version but not sure that will do much on dry peat/coco.

The promix supposedly has mycos in it with a wetting agent. However the soil came wet then dried so I assume it all died.

Might try this stuff but $10/ounce is crazy for the sampler size and don’t want to spend 60 bucks for 13oz. Might just look hard for the great white container.
I’d also like to try silica but there are 100 brands and not sure the pH drift is worth the end results?

I started using this on my current grow. It has helped strengthen up some of my clone stalks. Add this before anything else if mixing with other nutes. It will drive the ph fairly high, so you will have to ph down. I add to my water at least an hour before mixing in nutes.
Some wait til flower to get all the branch training in, as the armor si will stiffen them. But some run the whole way. I started mine in flower.

Thanks, I’ll grab some to try out! Noted on the flower schedule. I’m wanting tighter buds this time around. Can’t complain with what I got last run but tighter nugs would be killer.
Sidenote instead of posting a dedicated comment, I found my Great White.

Transplanted and watered. I used ~1L in total over the 5 pots. I have no idea how much water to use but that’s what I did. Was pH’d to 5.9-6 with 4:2 jacks. So ~850ppm. No idea if I eventually have water to runoff to move the salts before turning on the system 
The soil in the nursery bags was pretty dry so watered some into the center but only for the transplant not future watering’s. Used Great White liberally in hole and around bags.
Set them to an 18/6 which night hours starts in 15 mins. Set humidity to 58% with a buffer to 61% Hoping it holds at that well without needing tons of water. I did find my other fogger so that will go in if needed.
Before taking them out of the germinator.
Placed into socks and the autopots:
The center plant will stay where it is and be watered via wicking base. I used a lifted tray thingy under it that came with my 6" rockwool blocks. That way I can have it over the autopot hoses but not on them.
Light is maybe 18-24" from the lowest plant, set at 70% I’m getting over 500ppdf in the center and 400 in the corner pots. ~420w used. Not the best photon throw for a light. Still has 300 extra watts I can use. I figure at this height the growing plants will grow into their veg ppfd of 600 before I need to move the light up.

PNW resident. What else? Great White? (not DDD).
Dec 1 Seed drop (DDD2022 harvest).
FFHF in the 1-gal bag, now residing in the 5-gal grow bag.
More FFHF/OF and perlite.
Got two others, similar seed crop, smaller plus one is dying.

So my seedlings aren’t looking their best after being transplanted for 3 days now. The brown is some of the “soil” I got on them, but there is maybe some burning from nute water on them too.
The big dips are when it goes lights out.
I did increase my fan speeds from 3 to 5 maybe it’s drying them out or something. Going to try reducing the light to 50% so to about 300 ppfd.
I keep forgetting seedlings do weird stuff at the start sometimes but it always makes me so nervous especially never having grown this way before.

7-11 BIG GULP domes nicely for fragile transplants.

So you think a dome might help at this stage still? I’ll have to see if I have anything laying around I can use.

Forgot to mention I went ahead and ordered this. I won’t need it often but seems people like to use it not only for soil but in hydro. So I might add a little to the autopot res and see what it does.

If small enough you can cut the bottom off a water or soda bottle.

So my 1gal sprayer is here. I filled it up to 1gal plain ro water and then went to each pot spraying in 1/4 gallon each. I took the nozzle of the wand and touching the bag on the inside and went around the very outer perimeter. I hope that is watering them correctly. No water came out of the side or bottom of the bags.
Not sure when I need to give them more jacks and when I do, do I do just like I did with the sprayer? I figured I wouldn’t water them again for maybe 4 days or so. Worried about salt buildup or whatever people get when growing in soil or soilless.
Should I be doing jacks each time @OGIncognito ? They do have dark green/blue in the leaves like nitrogen toxicity but it could be the pigment slowly coming in.
The single serrated leaves look like crap. I think it was from getting the peat on them when filling around it. Thinking about cutting them off.

I do jacks every feeding. Still being a little tyke, I’d feed with a dropper around the drip line. I increase the watering as the plants increases. When the leaves reach the pots edge I start watering the whole top. I am 9-10 weeks in and feeding a gallon or so each day and skipping a day or two if I see the sides are still damp. Id leave that leaf until it gets brown or wholly yellow. Its still pulling photons.
