remember that time we were recording for 20 minutes and we didn't hit record
hi again hi again we're back guys we got a new topic and we're we're filming this one
it's a redo we're filming this one we've forgotten yeah maybe i forgot to hit it it was just no
we were in rehearsal they do we can talk about controversial topic in the growing community
for autos here do you do this babe i know you do because you're i do it all the time
transplanting autos that's what we're talking about a lot of people out here say you know never
transplant don't come for me don't even think about it but i mean over the course of how long
we've been growing on the channel over a year now doing autos you've always transplanted in
the 5x5 since the beginning going from solo cups to finish pot but you know how do you feel so i
i like transplanting um personally a lot of people will say put it straight in the
final pot for and you know you do that you've done it that's how i do that's how i but i have
done this um but i prefer transplanting my auto and a lot of people don't like that but
i have my own reasons for it and i um and i think that it works for me and i think that there is a
timeline yeah to where you have that you have you have this window of time that you have to
transplant an auto but i think it's totally plausible possible and i don't think it hurts the
plant yeah i think in my opinion i think like you said there's definitely some do's and don'ts with
with autos and transplanting so you know it does work but to some degree like i don't think
you should necessarily transplant your auto like you would a photo like start in a solo
go to a one gallon go to a three gallon go to a seven gallon oh yeah you know really there's
definitely limitations when it comes to autos um i think one and done um i don't i i i have
tried multiple uh multiple i did groceries go watch i did do a um i went from a solo clip i
think to a one gallon to a three gallon to a five gallon is that what i did something like that it
didn't really help the plant yeah it did as i remember it did finish out well but it was very
smooth it definitely stunted it what happened to that plant it was it's kind of strange it actually
it ate the nutrients in each pot so it's like i almost didn't have to feed it i was just giving
it more soil yeah um so we did try that now it was a very runty plant didn't turn out very big
um but as i recall it didn't have any issues but i wouldn't do it again yeah there's definitely
with the autos we think and what we found through growing is it one one transplant only
and typically what you're doing with the solo cups is just starting them out in the solo cup
seems to work really good because you can have a small amount of soil you can know that it's not
you know too hot or spicy we usually use something kind of nutrient neutral like a pro mix hp with a
micro riser or something like that just something to start it out in that's light and then for the
solos like you would do probably the first maybe 14 to 23 days um i would say 23 days is kind of
pushing that around three nodes maybe i think you were saying um yeah between i would say between
day 10 and 20 um i like to try to do it around day 14. yeah so it definitely has some elite a
little couple leaves on it maybe a couple nodes uh but it's a style that it's gonna you it's an
established plant it's got it's got a small root system you can definitely tell tell it's taking
place yeah but i don't like it being too root yeah it's not like overrunning the cup yet it's
like right before you're getting roots all over so that's when we would typically transplant into the
final pot um and after doing that now for over a year with the grows like we haven't noticed
or i haven't noticed just looking at it you guys can go watch the grow series yeah you can watch
and see for yourself yeah everything in the 5x5 has been started in a solo and then transferred
to the final pop but you as far as like is it going to stunt your plant is it going to screw
it up later like all the ones you've done that you've had plenty of autos over four feet tall
five feet tall just massive autos that are you know it's definitely not stunting them so i
definitely think you can uh without causing damage if you do it right and i feel like
at the right time i feel like what the method that you've been doing and kind of worked on
and kind of that's what you've grown over this past year it's working like you can definitely
transplant the autos there's a few reasons why i personally like to transplant my autos
um a when i started in this solo cup i just do it a pretty neutral soil mix and what i do is just
worm castings and my hp my my and my just my my foil and i just mix that up and that's all it is
and it's a pretty neutral yep abundant for my seedling um and then once it gets to the point
where i feel like it needs to be transplanted yeah um then i put it in its final pot and then
i feel like it can actually take the nutrients that are in that biopsy but then it doesn't
burn so i think that that's personally i mean that's really why i lean towards doing it yeah and
it's worked amazing yeah and then also if i do say i did just put my seedling right in my final pot
what if that seedling then dies and now i just have this pot of mixed soil yeah if you guys know
don't know i have been using nature's living soil in my recent runs um i just wasted all
that soil to just wait for my next run because i do a perpetual grow it doesn't make sense for
me to stagger anything so then that pot has been sitting around for yeah a while so i don't really
like doing that so that's really my reason yeah sometimes it'll start like the pot will dry out
and you might not have time to plant the next one i definitely think you can reuse some of that soil
but i feel like after it dries out you know you do have to kind of re-moisten it recondition it
a little bit um so starting in the solo cups kind of you know if it's not going to turn out well you
only got a solo cup's worth so you don't really have to worry about it so there that's like kind
of a benefit and it's a time saver it's a lot easier to just get a little solo cup and start
one in then you know mix up your whole pot get it all in there and then do it that way
you know just to see if they're going to turn out because sometimes you have ones that do pop
and then they just end up not you know for whatever reason they just end up shriveling
yeah just not yeah even this there you go why did you die um yeah and you know it's it's completely
based on like your personal preferences i'm not telling you to go out there and be like
transplants the way like you don't i'm not telling you that you have to do it or my way
is the way i really kind of want to explore what works better for you guys and how you
guys see the best place we just wanted to talk about it and bring up the conversation because
like i said in the 5x5 grow over a year now you have been transplanting and yeah now that i think
back and look at it and watch the videos and think about those grows like there hasn't really been
any stunting or issues with the plants i mean there's been issues from us being new growers
but i don't think it's all related to starting in a solo cup and then transitioning to a final pot
and you know even looking at your plants compared to mine which i've always pretty much gone final
pot uh with all my grows and i don't notice a difference in the size of the plants i've had
plants that are runty that i always final potted and i've had plants that are huge final pot just
like you've had five foot tall autos that you transplanted from a solo cup like it's you know
there's something i think part of that can be a myth like autos you can do a lot with them but
there's keys and things you know like topping and stuff like that like they can only handle so much
because it is that race to the finish like when you start it you don't get second chances you
can't vegeta it's on a timeline it's got a timer right when it sprouts yeah if you're doing stuff
you know out of that timeline it can really screw it up like overwatering there's tons of
things that you can do that can cause issues beyond the transplanting yeah and what we've
seen through transplanting is that we don't think it's really as detrimental as some people try and
make it out to be so if you want to try it or you've been thinking about trying it honestly
what we're getting is that is just try it and have some fun see what you think see what you guys
uh experience if you try and transplant either from a solo cup or maybe a multi-pot um you know
i feel like if you're if you're doing it right the firm believer and try it for yourself yeah
and we've been trying it and we don't really think uh we've noticed any any detrimental issues
so your autos you want to start in solos and transplant to a final pot we think that's probably
the best method i feel like over one transplant is probably not going to be beneficial to an auto
um and really the timeline and how fast it goes oh and it will probably finish out and flower for
you if you transplant it throughout yeah i i've tried that before and it was a fun really fun
experiment and i'll probably try it again um we definitely got a future we have if you guys watch
the girls you know we've all about experimenting and trying different things for science yeah for
science we gotta know we gotta grow you gotta grow to know so i have to grow tonight we're
gonna be trying this stuff if you guys are curious about anything or you want to see us try something
crazy with an auto comment below yeah we'll try it do's and don'ts if you don't tell us we can't
because we gonna do it we're oh i mean i'm don't like
people telling me what to do so i'm talking about what to do it's a party give me a leaflet
i have a problem with authority but we thought it was kind of an interesting topic and we just
wanted to share like our two cents on it after after growing after having transplanted for song
after having tried multiple transplants like that's just kind of our observations over our
growth and like i said you guys can definitely go check out all of our grow series videos they're
restricted on youtube but you can still find them if you just click on the channel and go
to the grow series playlist like you can watch all our grows and what we've done check it out
the crazy things we've tried and tapping in auto six times or transplanting you know whatever we've
tried it uh but we just wanted to touch base on this topic because we thought was kind of
a good one it's kind of a you know hot topic in the community transplant autos don't transplant
what do you guys do what do you do are you naughty do you do you transplant you take
wake up you can transplant autos once once one time only one you get one shot if not
then it's ruined you've ruined it shout out to the growers who transplant autos you know who you are
i'm a shot shot through the heart you're dude
i don't know what you're gonna try you're talking about so good
you know what i do i transplant with cbd plants right to the trash can
you're amazing
