How to Transplant Cannabis Seedlings by Nebula Haze

In this tutorial you'll learn how (and when) to transplant your new cannabis seedlings so they grow as fast as possible!
Did you know that seedlings in solo cups often grow faster than seedlings started in big containers?
The reason some growers transplant their plants instead of starting them in their final container is that seedlings usually grow faster during the first few weeks of their life if you start them in something small like a solo cup. The
growing medium dries out much faster in a smaller container, which means your seedling roots are always getting access to lots of oxygen at all times. It also makes it more difficult to overwater your plants.
If you start seedlings in a solo cup, you should try to transplant to
a bigger pot around the time the leaves reach the edges of the cup. This seedling is ready for transfer. If seedlings get too big for their cups before transplanting to a bigger container, you may accidentally limit your plant’s root space. This slows down growth and can cause puzzling deficiencies! So if you do start in small containers
it’s important to transplant your seedlings on time to avoid letting them become rootbound.
“Rootbound” seedlings are often droopy and may display odd symptoms that are hard to explain. If seedlings are rootbound
you’ll see during the transfer process that the roots have wrapped all the way around the outsides of the container, preventing the plant roots from doing what they need to do. Try to transfer to a bigger pot before this point! For many growers, it’s simpler to start plants in their final containers. Although your seedlings may grow slightly slower at first, you never have to
worry about transplanting them. You also avoid the possibility of shocking them during the transplant process.
That being said, if you want the fastest growth from your seedlings and don’t mind transplanting, starting in small containers like solo cups may be the way to go.
The truth is, your seedlings will thrive whether you
start in a big or small container as long as you take good care of them! Neither way is the “best” method; it’s more a matter of personal preference.

"Low Odor" Cannabis Strains |
If you’re growing for yourself, you might prefer to grow cannabis strains that are particularly known for having a relatively mild or weak smell. The truth is that basically all cannabis plants will stink a little by the time you get to harvest, but some strains are worse than others.
These strains are known for producing a low or non-marijuana-like odor.
Photoperiod strains - Deep Blue C Auto or Auto Duck are examples of auto-flowering strains that are great for stealth growing due to their smell (or lack thereof)
Low odor strains aren’t
fool-proof, but they’ll definitely help make things easier! These are just a few examples, but there are many others. Learn more about researching strains and/or reply to this email to let us know your personal favorite low odor strains!
|
Note: Smells are usually more intense when the environment gets hot and humid. Be aware of odors in the summer!

It is hard to believe how far along this industry has progressed since the 70’s, but mainly because of people like you’s keeping it simple and informative. Thank you again for all you do for us! 70 and still growing! Gotta Love

Trophy Picture of the Week! |
This is Critical+ 2 from Dinafem Seeds which I topped above 3rd node and used LST
to create my canopy, constantly pulling branches into light and removing lower growth and branches that will never produce much and get in the way!!
She's in BioBizz Lightmix in a 20L pot and i used the full range of Shogun nutrients including the Geisha spray (Amazing stuff!!) I'm following their feed nutrient chart and recommendations for E.C, P.H etc, and am really impressed
with the results so far. In flushing cycle week 8-9.

"Growing cannabis can be a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water
