Update:

all seedlings transplanted. The ones I planted today were looking good. I left them in the root maker pots a couple extra days as I wanted to see what the roots looked like. couldn't get pics, the soil was too crumbly and I was afraid of breaking roots. But they DO work like they say! No root circling! So they should have a nice root mass to start with. I'm expecting them to take off quickly! They looked good on transplant.

I screwed up and mislabeled the White Jems. Maybe Mossy can identify them when they get older. They are probably labeled Stone Dragon.
The Black Dragons are looking great! Seem to be growing faster than everything but one Stone Dragon.

Update:
They are growing nicely and the Black Dragons in particular are looking very nice! One, though the same age as the rest, was transplanted about 4 days before the rest and look at it! WOOOOO! I think its going to be a real beauty! And this shows how well my transplanting technique works! Stop fearing to transplant your autos!

Pop you know its funny you mention the transplant. I was thinking the same thing, because i had to transplant some because of bad soil and had to do open root transplant. They STILL kicked ass and didnt slow them down at all. They look awesome sir and i wanted to give you rep but i have to spread the love a little more it seems.
 
I thought I had created a thread on transplanting, guess that's today's project. Don't Trans Plant autos is totally a myth! I made my own study of this over the last year and a half. Out of hundreds of transplants, I've had two fail, both my fault! its a matter of the right container and the right timing/size. I've discovered that in the containers I use, it takes a seedling 7-10 days to fill the container with roots. However, I use 2 criteria to judge readiness: time ( 7-10 days ) and canopy width.
when the leaves of the young plant are the same size as the width of the container, its time to transplant. You can leave them another 2 days at most, after that, extensive root circling begins. EVERY time I transplant using this guidline, my transplants start growing almost immediately. I've seen 1/2-1" growth in the first 12 - 24 hours! Transplanting larger plants works best when you let the pot get a bit dry, the soil sticks together better than wet soil during the transplant.

Update:

Girls are looking good! Black Dragons are really doing very well. The big one is a female Wooooo!

And the Critical x Dragon's Blood are looking quite Kushy........ lol! Can't wait for them to put on some size. Thinking I may invest in one of those home THC/CBD testing kits and test a few plants when they are done. So its just water and wait...water and wait... lol That's why I love organics!
Popped ina pic of the new soilponics pot I built using 10 gallon, low and wide totes. Got a couple Blue Dragon in it. Same res design and wick as the previous rig. And a pic of the Durrty Magic I'm test growing. she didn't like the autopot at first, i figure I rushed her a bit and transplanted too soo. Failed to follow my own advice!

Blue Dragons - 3-31-2016.jpg
 
4 males found today. 2 Critical x Dragon's Blood ( Diamond Dragon maybe?, if its even worthy.. we'll see ) and two Black Dragon. Tossed one Ct x DB haven't decided which Black Dragon I'll keep yet, so off to the dungeon...er broom closet with them!
pic later, been a busy day.......
 
Blue Dragons got evicted from the big tent... lol! So they are in temporary residence in the 2'8" x 2'8" x 5' tent. 2 of those totes will JUST fit in there! Now if I'd have given it more thought, i'd have shuffled the dragons into there, as they are all looking to be small plants ... well maybe... I need a bigger growroom :smoking:
