On day 14 the roots started to show thru the bottom of the plugs so I transplanted into 2 gallon plastic grow bags. Some people like to transplant into smaller pots and keep potting up. I prefer to go right into the 2 gallons grow bags with seedlings because their growth is rapid, it takes a long time to transplant, and also because every time the plant is transplanted it gets stressed and slows growth. The key to going into a 2 gallon right away is to use the 40 48 larger plugs. These plugs act like little sponges and will pull the water to the seedling.
I pre-fill all my grow bags to 3/4 full with Black Gold organic soil and then saturate the soil with water and the added root booster. I have decided to use General Organics products this year. Their product Bio Root is specifically for delicate seedlings and clones. I mix it to their specifications for a light feeding. I put the seedlings in their new pot and raised the soil level all the way up to the leaves. That thin little stem will all root out and the plant will be much more stable. Once the seedling is in place, I water it and add soil as it settles. I keep the soil level to about 1 1/2 inches from the top of the bag so they are easier to water. If I get dirt on the delicate seedlings, I spray them off with pure water in a spray bottle.
I will water with Bio Root light feeding strength for the next watering and then I will water with pure water. Depending upon how they are developing I may continue Bio Root at full strength for one or two more feedings or I will be switching to General Organics Veg fertilizer.
HUGE GROWTH. 5 days after transplanting the plants have grown about 2 inches. Stems are nice and thick. Watering one more time with Bio Root at heavy feeding concentrations. Impressed by Bio Root.
