Weekly Tip: April week 4 – Transplant to Larger Containers

When transplanting be sure to move into large enough containers to see the plant through it’s entire flower cycle. We choose to use larger containers to ensure enough space for root growth and reducing the need to water as often.

As Danny Danko, Cultivation Editor for High Times says, bigger containers mean bigger years. When transplanting, be sure not to press and compact the soil, let the water do this over time. Center and position your plant in container to maximize your flowering site potential for light uptake. When placing your plants in the greenhouse, place the tallest plants on the north wall going from east to west. Try to create a stadium effect, the following rows should gradually be smaller and smaller, placing the shortest plants on the southern wall.

When preparing your soil for transplanting, use your favorite fertilizer as a top dress. Stay tuned, since Roots & Harmony will be putting out their favorite top dress for sale soon!
