Transplanting

Vegged plants Should have roots to the point where no dirt falls out when you pop out the root ball. To accomplish this, please see a few posts up on Watering Technique for Vegetative Growth.

So, Here's the root ball.

Steps
1.)Fill final pot with soil
2.)Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root ball.
3.)Sprinkle "Root Zone" (in the kit) into the hole

4.)Score the roots. See pic below.

5.)Plant it, push soil in from sides, compact by hand.

6.)Water it in with 1 pint of transplant water. Soil can be pre-wetted so the transplant water isn't washed away with furher waterings.

The procedure is very similar with clones, just on a smaller scale.

Speaking of clones, Here's what high brix clones look like. Very green and healthy, rapid rooting and growth. These were taken 6-10 days prior.

One of the things I like to do for small clones is nip off the roots and let them continue in the dome till they're a bit larger. They veg much better that way.

When I take a fresh clone, I cut it back pretty far, leaving just the apical meristem, one fan leaf and stalk. By the time they root, they have fresh new growth, usually in about a week for faster strains, 12 days for slow ones. They don't seem to skip a beat as far as growth goes. I believe this is due to spraying them with "Stress" which has natural PGR's and trace minerals, along with active biology.

2 weeks later, the transplanted clones should look like this:
