Thanks G, that sounds fairly straightforward. Well here we go, for science!Na man they don't get shock or anything like that. They do slow down their above ground growth, for a day or three until the roots stretch to the new deeper reservoir but that's about it. They really take off fast as soon as that happens though.
I’m fairly stoney, but rootball makes more sense than football, so I’m gonna go with thatSweetSue has posted step by steps of her process in the past. I’ll try to find one ... she ‘floats’ the football out...
Ahh thanks Felipe. I assume this wouldn’t work as hot for hydroton?If it is ready, it will have encased all the perlite to the point that you can just slide it out of the solo cup in one piece, and into a “reverse sandcastle “.
There’s a photo around here somewhere..
Lovely roots!This one may have been over-ready
Fair enough!I suppose roots are the plant’s feet...

Lovely roots!
It’s super simple. I go from 32oz to 1gal to either 2gal or 3.5 gal pots without any issues.Fair enough!
Thanks for looking AG.
Seems like it would be a precarious transplant. Cheers!
A reason to stick with perlite?I assume this wouldn’t work as hot for hydroton?
Nice save!I suppose roots are the plant’s feet.
Wait what? But your pumice mine might go out of business if you switch...I’m going to check out some scoria today - sold as barbecue lava rock - like pumice, but dark and a bit heavier.
I believe you mean "football."the whole root ball slides out
Sweet! Thanks for that man. I’m noticing that hydroton gets heavy in the buckets really fast. I see another advantage for perlite there.It’s super simple. I go from 32oz to 1gal to either 2gal or 3.5 gal pots without any issues.
I just let the old pot dry out a bit extra first and pour off the top layer of loose perlite. Then half fill the new pot with fresh perlite. Squeeze the sides of the old pot to loosen it a bit, flip the pot and the whole root ball slides out super easy and stays together. Then place it right on top of the half filled pot and fill around it.
Then cover the hempy hole with your finger and flood the whole pot with nute water to soak and settle all the perlite.
Then wait 3 weeks or so to do it all over again. The leaves won’t even droop or anything. It just will slow down it’s growth for a couple days while the roots search out the new deeper reservoir, then it’ll have a massive growth explosion for a few days and go back to normal.
I think I’m already sold on perlite being my option in the future. I just figured if all I have to do is buy a couple buckets, I want to try it.A reason to stick with perlite?
Nice save!

Yup straight from the hose spigot, through an inline chlorine filter.And this is with SD water??
6.3 last time I checked it. I haven't used the meter in so long I wouldn't trust it now.To give me an idea of the range of tolerance in hempy, do you recall what the pH of your fertigation solution was?
Okay cool!I don’t ph adjust at all. I tried for a couple weeks but I got weird results that drove me crazy. Since I started ignoring it my plants are a lot healthier.
I’m going to check out some scoria today - sold as barbecue lava rock - like pumice, but dark and a bit heavier. And larger - up to 1/2” or so. And hopefully cheaper than perlite.
Sweet! The retirement plan is still intactNope - too heavy, and not that much cheaper.
Keeping the pumice mine Shed!
