I'm scared to transplant this one. But i want to get it into a fabric pot and mixed with the better soil. I dont want to injure or shock it. What are good techniques for newbies?

Quite basic . Don’t over think it or panic bud , chill . Start with preparing the pot she’s going into , part fill and place her (in her current pot inside ). And fill the new pot around the other pot (if that makes sense ) this will leave a perfect sized hole for the current plant to be dropped in (don’t drop her 😂). Once the pot it ready , flip her over above the new pot (catching all fall off soil ) place your hand 🖐️ spread across the surface best u can steadying the main stem between 2 fingers . Slightly nock the bottom of the pot and squeeze the sides till u feel her start to come loose . Slide the pot off Them gently lower her into her hole and top up the pot with soil . Top tip don’t have her too dry as soil could break up & certainly not wet through as she will be heavy and the water will create a suction in the pot

Slightly squeeze the sides and the bottom of the pot to release the soil from the sides, i usually transplant 1 day after watering so the soil doesn't fall apart. Then simply turn it upside down, with 1 hand covering the top of soil and it should slowly pop out! Shocking the roots is hard to do, so dont worry!

Hello.. Hope you are well.. 1st of all.. Breathe😀.. Ok, feel relaxed😎.. B4 u start.. Get ur transplant pot ready wit soil in to about the hieght of the top of pot u have her in will b level.. Dont worry.. Simply untie any lst string from her pot.. VERY gently squeeze her pot around the outsides and soft push from the bottom.. Place ur hands over top ov pot with 2 fingers either side of her trunk.. Turn pot upside down n place centrally onto final pots pre placed soil.. Gently fill up gaps around her with more soil n tap sides to allow gravity to fill gaps fill until she her old soil ball has about 2cm of fresh ontop.. Its messy tbh but thats why its fun aswell.. Just get prepared with garden trays n tools etc.. -watering.. Just give her a light watering around the edges of pot to promote the roots n stop any waterlogged around stem.. She will stay dormant for 24-48hrs then u shud c signs of growth again n she'll definitely love her extra space..hope i explain ok.. Any problems or worries tho just ask the community or message me n we all here to help.. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀

Transplanting it will not be a problem. Before you transplant it, do not add water for 3-5 days, so that the earth can dry out a bit and move away from the wall of your pot. After that, gently turn it over and pat the bottom of the plant. If you don’t feel sorry for the pot, you can cut it beforehand so that it bursts and the earth comes out easier

It started in a Dixie cup on porch window sill.. After a couple weeks put into 2 gal pot with miracle grow moisture control crap... I know not good for cannabis. I now have some fox farm soil and want to get it into fabric pot for better airation. I just started LST this last week. Im sure i will lose or mess up progress with that with transplant. Any tips would be helpfull.
