4/1/22 - Day 14 - I've been moving the plants outside in our hoophouse during the day to make sure they are use to the sunlight and bringing them back inside at night using the Horticulture light group 135 KIT. Currently have them set up for 16 hrs of sunlight/grow lights as I'm a bit worried about transplanting them outside and having them revert to flowing with the reduce light. So I'm keeping them close to the 14 +hrs of daylight that will be available to them when transplanting outside. Its been a good two weeks in the solo cup and she's about ready to be transplanted up. Took a trip to Menards to buy a couple of 1 gallon pots as all I had were 5 gallon pots which I'll be using for the next potting up. Looks at her roots they are just started to wrap around the bottom of the cup so I think we are in a good spot. Since I was a beginner last year, I learned a little trick from one of the forums that you can place the smaller pot into the potting up container and fill the dirt around it to get the exact shape of the transplant. Its a great technique so I figured I'd share it incase any other newbs didn't know this. Anyways, when transplanting, I sprayed a bit of some pure protein 15-1-1 on the roots and the plant itself to try and help reduce any transplant shock. Was hoping to have some compost tea ready for this, but its to cold outside as it was snowing a bit earlier and the only alternative I would have is to brew it inside, but hearing the pump at night would drive me nuts.
