Yeah, he said the same thing to me. I didnāt realize he was talking about going through the flower cycle. The fabric pots seems like a good idea, trimming roots seem scary lol

If using fabric pots someone had said to just add one pot into the next. No transplant as youāre used to. I used plastic until the last transplant, which was fabric. If there was a benefit to using plastic it was that the roots immediately contacted soil during a transplant, whereas in the fabric pots they have to grow through the fabric first. I dont know if this takes time or not. Probably not much . This could be offset by an earlier transplant when using fabric, which seems superior in almost every way.

That gives me an idea for a product that is a two layer fabric pot with regular fabric on the outside and a cheesecloth mesh on the inner layer. Just cut off the outside regular fabric layer and put the mesh pot directly into the larger new pot. That wouldnāt be too, too hard to make, I donāt think? Super low stress transplants.

I always pull the old bag off first. I like to dust the root ball with mykos when I repot.

I did too, but I wonder if that was necessary. Once a pot is inoculated with mychorrizae, itās in thereā¦ but my theory was probably the same as yours, it canāt hurt to add it again, so I did, in case I had accidentally damaged their population somehow previously. It is a bitch to transplant out of fabric, but I did it. I like that butter knife around the sides idea to separate roots from fabric. But the bottom roots remain a bitch to separate.

I do agree but recently I purchased 1 gallons transplant fabric bags they are split on 1 side and able to open ,totally reusable
Also I find it beneficial to the plant to prune the roots before transplanting ( helps to allow the roots to expand and find the res ) and of course add mycorrhizae before up potting

Pretty cool idea for those fabric pots. Iāll look for themā¦reusable or no? Just tearing away those fabric pots from the roots seems to do a pretty good job of pruning them lol

Day 16 updateā¦nothing has broken the ground but, Iām not giving up yet. Iām going to let them stay on the heated mat and under the dome for another two weeks. If anybody has interest or knowledge of tissue culture and wants to take a run at these seeds, Iād be willing to send some out.
