John's Wicked New Grow

[John Wick]

At 0200 the mystery girl was up potted into a five gallon smart pot. She has a nice root ball developed and should do well in her new home.

Do you break your roots up a little before you transplant?

 

[John Wick]

No, I just use Emilya's watering method right off the bat and the roots find there way.

 

[Virgin Ground]

I rough mine up a bit. It makes for a more vigorous plant.

 

[Virgin Ground]

Good morning John. Hope you are well.

So do I. If they cluster around the bottom like they usually do I rip them out of the circular pattern to the straight bushy roots

Morning Ms. V.
A little sore this morning because yesterday I bucked a 900 lb. bale into the barn "Amish Style", because the last T-storm blew a 20' door off one of the hinges. Until I fix that the door can't be opened.

Next time I harvest a plant I will take a photo of the root ball of the finished product.

Yeah, I can imagine that would make you pretty sore. Poor fella.

When I first came to the forum all I would see is people telling you that doing this would screw up your plant. Every gardening show and book that I have seen says different.

Yea. I've always learned that doing this promotes better root growth and it also gets the root to spread throughout the new pot more evenly.

Okay, here is the root ball from the last Lamb's Bread from CKS.

You are supposed to supervise the horse. The horse shouldn't be standing around like a civic worker laughing at you trying to muscle the bale into the barn.

Nice rootball, John.

Thank you Al, I appreciate that.
My two "Cat plants" have trunks on them almost twice the size of a bic lighter.
When they wake up I'll have to take a photo of them and post.

@Emilya what are these?
I felt something crawling on my arm

I'd say white flies or thrips. The wings are not spread out from their bodies, so thrips is my guess.

I was doing some LST on my younger plants and noticed one cuz my arm started to itch and it's outside right now. Haven't found them on the other ones yet anyway how do I fix this.
I just took everything out of the 10 except the lights, just vacuumed everything and I'm going to hit it with bleach.
That one that's got those white bugs ain't coming back. I've got too much time in this I'm not going to lose it now.
