Transplanting Autos to site. Good or bad idea?

Recommended Posts

I used peat pots last year for my autos (first time ever growing autos) 

& put them straight into ground after 2 weeks from sprouting with no problems they finished around 3-4ft tall. 

This year I've gone for seedstockers critical xxl autos. Good luck mate

Last season i used peat pots , same as above. Grew them under led for a week then transplanted them in the peat pot directly into final pots in my greenhouse , piece of piss 😃

 

 

 

 

Hi mate

Were these standard peat pots??

Do you think the seedlings do better, starting off in the peat pot, instead of placing seed into its final pot

Yes standard peat pots sourced for the guys over at RGSC.  The main reason I started in peat pots is space , I doubt they do any better its just I can start off more at once then move to greenhouse.

Another thing I tried before transplanting was soaking the peat pot  and gently peeling the bottom away then placing in its final pot. Seemed to work well 👍

Always a good root system with them.

Yep just compost and water as normal. Keep an eye on them though as they can dry out quickly. Best of all they can be transplanted straight into soil because they break down over time 👍

I’m going to try using double solo cups this year a slotted one inside another then take the outer one off at transplant. 👍

You can pot um up just don’t let that main root hit the bottom coz she will start her timer then , always better to start it in bigger final pot though
