I'm going to use everything I have in a 5 day bombardment. I can manage with mites but I'm hoping to never see one again. Such a PIA, hard to kill

Do you know where they might have come from?

Doc,
I have harvested and am now wondering what to do to keep the soil for next spring? My understanding is to break all the soil out of the rootballs and bury some of the roots with it. Sprinkle some roots powder as well. Can't forget enough water to moisten the soil and cover. I will have to store it in an area that will probably be 40 to 50 degrees during the winter. It will warm up enough in the spring to bring the soil to proper cooking temps.

All cut, washed and hung
. This was cherry vanilla cookies. These are going to be dense golf ball buds. I think my total weight is going to be close or more than last grow. I've got bud hanging everywhere
Yum! Looks so tasty!

Got some plants started in solo cups of some very nice rich soil. They are 2 weeks old. My HB soil will be done cooking in another 2-1/2 weeks. Do you think moving them to 1 gallon pots of HB then will be ok?

It's not optimal....the extra transplant can be troublesome. Transplanting too early can also be tough as the roots get disturbed.
They'll live....just not the best way to go. tape up the outside of your solo cup so the roots aren't exposed to light.
The more root mass before transplant the better. My plants only seem to take off after transplant. My opinion (keyword) is to let the plant grow out over the edge of the container then wait another 3 days to a week, and then transplant.
More transplants equals more root mass. And a healthier more robust plant. This is of course my opinion. But it is shared by growers world wide. With a solo cup it is very simple to transplant if you plan ahead.
After you cut drainage holes. Drill 3 or 4 holes around the side of the container 1 inch up. When the time for transplant arrives simply cut CAREFULLY from hole to hole. The bottom will come off. Next CAREFULLY cut from down the side. Place plant in new hole with mykos or whatever your use to transplant. Then gently separate the cup and lift. Almost 0 stress involved with this method. Again I only notice explosive growth In the days after. No wilting or stress. Then you will have time for your pro mix or soil to cook.

Hey doc! Do you think high brix could work in 3 gallon buckets if the dunk method is used the entire time? Would i need to feed a bit more or more often? Could it work with minimum problems? Yes i know 7 gallons is ideal but just wondering if it is possible.

7 gallons is the minimum he recommends, bigger is ideal. People have grown in 5 gallon pots and it worked, I am sure you could do it but I bet towards the end you will have to water every day or two.

Im not worrying about the watering. Just wondering if I could still keep the soil energy up by feeding more often. If watering everyday, would i alternate feedings every other watering?
Hi Doc, just checking something... when you transplant, you always* score the roots, yes? Are there any circumstances where you'd advise against scoring.
*I'm basing this assumption on the transplant section of the 'lab' thread.
Cheers

Yes, its possible. Total PITA but you could grow something. Then again, why?

Always score them. Exceptions would be an emergency transplant with few roots or something. But done right there should be a nice football to score.
It could work. Ziggy grew in window planters and small containers and grew some nice herb. He grew 11/13 the whole cycle though so he probably did not have to worry as much about soil energy going flat.
