Beginning of Week 5. Getting ready for transplant. We made our own potting mix and compost tea with the following ingredients.
Potting Mix :
10 Quarts Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil (Base)
5 Quarts Earth Worm Casting
1 Cup Flower Girl
5 Quarts Pearlite
2.5 Tablespoons Happy Frog Japanese Maple Fertilizer (Mixed in)
2 Teaspoons Vigoro (Mixed into top 3" of Soil)
2 Teaspoons Happy Frog Japanese Maple Fertilizer (Mixed into top 3' of Soil)
Compost Tea:
2 Cups of Worm Casting (Steeped)
.25 Cups Flower Girl (Steeped)
1 Cup of Happy Frog Japanese Maple Fertilizer (Steeped)
I wasn't entirely sure how a Compost Tea would work with feeding, so the guy at the gardening center said it wouldn't hurt to use the compost as the base liquid to water for the week, and it would be safe to add the typical nutrients ( Grow big, Molasses, Liquid Seawee, Big Bloom and Nitrogen). Guess we'll find out and hopefully I wont destroy my plant.
When transplanting we form fitted the orignal pot into the new 5 gallon fabric pot. Filled the hole and covered the rootball with Mycorrhizae.
Hola! So as you can see above I already transplanted my plant. How do I best recover the plant from transplant shock? I've seen alot of different directions online and hoping I could get some clear direction from anyone in the community. -Cheers
The very best way I find is if your using a rooting agent and a chelation agent , this way when you transplant them you can get a big boost outta root mass products which will help them heal faster absorb more nutrients and of course pump out the root mass . The second thing you want would be a chelation agent something that provides humic and fulvic acids this will promote quicker recovery time as well as stronger growth . Think like a body builder drinking a protean shake after working out to help rebuild his muscles chelation agents work much the same .There are various nutrient line ups that provide these products so when selecting one make sure its the right one for your needs :) All in all she looks pretty good and shouldnt suffer from shock for to long if any . I hope this information helps you on your journey to understanding how to recover your plants faster from transplanting them . - Happy Growing!
Happy new year my friend! Your grow is looking fantastic and healthy and I wish you best in this next year growing some amazing plants and yielding yourself large amounts of bud. Cheers!
