Transplanting Marijuana Plants: Frequency and TimingUpdated 13 days ago

1. Planting germinated seeds into first pot
2. Moving seedlings to intermediate containers
3. Final transplant into flowering pot

Note: Transplant timing depends on plant size and root ball development.

• Weak new growth
• Stunted flowering
• Reddening of the stem
• Nutrient sensitivity or deficiency
• Wilting and drooping leaves
• Stretching
• Soil drying out quickly
• Unusual leaf discoloration
• Slow water absorption

Regularly check roots by gently lifting the plant from its pot. Tangled or escaping roots indicate it's time to transplant.

• Transplant when the 4th or 5th set of leaves appears
• Check drainage holes for root condition:
  • Healthy roots: white, not tangled
  • Transplant needed: discolored, tangled, or growing out of container

• Move to final, largest pot during early vegetative stage
• Avoid transplanting during flowering
• If late for repotting, wait until next grow cycle

• Pot up to containers 2-3x the size of the previous one
• Allow minimum 2 gallons of soil per 12 inches of plant height
• Consider potential strain height when planning

• Observe plants closely for transplant readiness
• Avoid predetermined transplant schedules
• Be cautious of transplant shock
• Most indoor strains finish well in 5-gallon containers
• Outdoor plants may need up to 20 gallons

Remember, successful transplanting is crucial for healthy plant development and optimal yields. Always prioritize observation and plant needs over rigid schedules.
