Transplanting

[yardbird]

When you transplant a plant do you clean the roots in water or a solution of some kind or just shake off some of the dirt and replant?

Welcome Yardbird, just transplant no need to clean the roots.

Just shake off and disturb as little as possible

Welcome aboard

I don't clean them... I usually crush the roots up a bit, stimulate them, with my hands, then up pot

I've seen so many different methods of transplanting, but I think most of it depends on how tightly root-locked your plants are. If you're transplanting a lightly rooted plant, I say don't even mess with em. If they are rootbound and spun around your container semi-tightly, I would go with Chris Scorpio and crush em up gently. Tight root locked plants, I have seen people cut them top to bottom every quarter way around the soil about an inch deep. I am too scared to try this method, but the videos I have watched are from reputable dispensary growers so probably not entirely bad, but I bet people would disagree with this method. I tend to just go with Chris Scorpio on this one too.

I treat them like I do a garden, nursery bought tomato and gently remove from container upside down, squeeze and break up the root ball and soil and then gently insert them into their new home.

Best of luck!

That's the way to do it.
