Umtopfen zu Beginn der Vorblüte?

Comfrey
Comfreystarted grow question 1y ago
The 16-liter pots are already well-rooted. Should I repot them again? I'm not sure if that's a good idea at the beginning of pre-flowering, but I'm worried that I'll have problems with water and nitrogen supply in a few weeks.

Yes, repotting is still possible – but with caution. Advantages of a larger pot now: More space for the roots = better nutrient uptake during flowering. More stable water and nutrient supply, especially important in hot weather. More buffer storage for nitrogen – this is crucial during the stretch phase of flowering. Disadvantages/risks: Stress from repotting can slightly delay pre-flowering. Root damage or poor drainage in the new pot can be harmful. What I recommend: ✅ If you plan to repot, then do it now – right before or at the beginning of pre-flowering is the last sensible time. Recommended approach: Pot size: Go for at least 25–30 liters, even larger if possible. Repot gently – do not break the root ball apart too much, rather "relocate" it. Right after, water well with light nutrient water (e.g., 50–70% of the flowering nutrient concentration). Avoid direct sunlight for 1–2 days to help the plant recover. Alternatives: If the risk is too great for you: Top-dress with fresh soil and compost + slow-release nitrogen source (e.g., worm humus, horn shavings). Leave or renew the mulch layer (as already seen), helps against drying out. Adjust liquid fertilization: e.g., lightly dose every few days with growth or pre-flowering specific fertilizer (including Mg/Ca if needed). I hope this helps you! 😘

Hey 👋 After the start of the pre-flowering stage, you usually have 2-3 weeks until the flowering development is in full swing… so in my opinion, you have enough time for repotting. In principle, you shouldn't have any problems even in the small pot… the lady just stays smaller & requires more regular water & a little food from you. Good luck with the rest of the process 👊🖖🍀

I did transplants in early or mid flower even. Proof : growdiaries.com/diaries/129716-grow-journal-by-asnoriu/week/726812 Tactics : go with 2x or better 3x size upgrade, do it on watering day, water well after job is done. I never had issues, but bigger boots - always bigger girl and bigger harvest. Have fun !
