Root Scoring Technique for Transplants
We want a large, healthy mass of roots at all times, but the early stages of flowering are very important, especially if we did a good job in the veg room and have a healthy, nearly bound, ball of roots.
By taking a box cutter and cutting into the root ball, from top to bottom, we encourage lateral branching of the roots, as opposed to more circling. This way, they'll grow out and fill the flowering container.
in a square pot, make four scores, on all four sides. In a round container, also make four scores at 90 degrees to eachother.
It's a simple technique used by nurseries all over the world. It works in our gardens very well!
Ok so I had to transplant the 2 older ones, as I had to start training them. So heres my little step by step on transplanting.
First I get out the kiddie pool to avoid most of the mess. I get my 10 gallon smart pot and start filling up the bottom with soil.
Then I get my plant inside its 1 gallon pot, and I place it in the center.
Then I fill up around it with soil to the top.
Next I pull out the 1 gallon pot so that it leaves a perfect hole for the plant to drop right in.
Sprinkle in a bit of Roots
I apologize for not having a photo of this last step, but I only had 1 hand free and I didn't want to risk snapping the plant to grab a photo. But Pretty much I just put my palm down around the plant so that the plant stem is between 2 fingers, then I just turn the whole thing upside down and pull the pot off. Leaving me a nice root covered cylinder of soil. Next I score the roots with a razor blade going from top to bottom on 4 sides of the root covered soil, and then I just drop it into the perfect sized hole I made earlier. And add in more soil if needed.
The end result is this.
Tangie Ghost Train veg day 21 Transplanted into 10 gallon smart pots.
Tangie Ghost Train veg day 27.
Just transplanted the last 2 into their final pots, and gave them all a good watering with 1/4 strength transplant.
They also got switched over to the flowering tent, but I am still vegging them out for a bit.
I hopefully get my seeds this week, and I'll start my Ayahuasca Purples!
