Week 2 – Bold Beginnings: Early Transplant into Final Pot As we wrap up the first week of vegetative growth, it’s time for a bold move in this grow. I’ve decided to transplant the Sundae Driver ladies directly into their final pots, yes, right at the end of week one. No intermediate potting, no hesitation, just straight into the big leagues. Why the Bold Move? The decision comes from a mix of curiosity, trust in the genetics, and confidence in the soil prep. By placing them into their final 11L fabric pots early, the goal is to: Avoid the stress of multiple transplants Let the root system establish and expand freely from the start Observe how young plants respond to early root zone stability This is an experiment as much as it is a strategy, and I’m excited to see how it unfolds. Pot & Medium Each plant was transplanted into an 11L fabric pot by Zamnesia, great breathability, great drainage, and a good long-term home for these girls. The soil mix was thoughtfully layered and prepared in advance. Here’s the full blend: Base soil: Atami Janeco Light Mix Super soil layer: Amended with Aptus Holland full line, including: All-in-One Pellet nutrients Mycor Mix (for mycorrhizal fungi) Substrate Buffer (to stabilize pH and support micro life) Micro-Mix (for trace elements and microbial support) The super soil was mixed and i did not left to settle before transplant day, giving the microbes time to activate and the structure to balance, i moved them in to there strait way. Transplant Process The transplant itself was smooth and gentle. The seedlings had developed a healthy starter root structure, just enough to hold together while moving. After setting them into the center of the pre-moistened pots, I lightly watered them in with plain water + Regulator and start-booster, letting them settle without overwhelming them. Looking Ahead The plan now is to veg them for another 2–3 weeks, allowing them to fill out and respond to their new environment. From this point forward, they’ll live in this pot for the entire run—no more transplants. It’s a commitment to stability and microbial symbiosis. This kind of early transplant into a living soil setup can go either way, but I’m optimistic. With strong genetics and the right care, I believe they’ll thrive. Let’s grow. Let’s learn. Let’s see where this bold start leads us. Thanks for following along.
