Your first child is the one that always gets it's head whacked on the door jamb...because you are learning to care for a baby. Gardening works the same way. I wrecked a lot of tomatoes in 30 years. Your first child hates that first haircut, too.
If your holes are in the bottom of your buckets, I would get them up on some little blocks or feet to assist draining, improve airflow underneath and to get them off the floor so they don't sit in the water after they drain. I use little 1" blocks a woodworking neighbor donated to the cause. It will help you collect the water that drains, too.
I was lucky to have found this site when my seedlings were still on the kitchen windowsill, so my mistakes happened earlier...like using Miracle Gro soil...to sprout seedlings, lol. I don't know how it worked, but it did. (I got them out of the MG as soon as I could!) It still might hurt my grow at the end, but I won't do it again.
Good luck! May your topiary come back from the Edward Scissorhands treatment!

I’ll get them on blocks tonight! Thanks for that tip. They actually look better than last night. I have a feeling they will come back fine. I’ve just pushed my 12/12 back about 9 days. I’ll post pics here in the next few days to show you guys what happens!!! Also, I reported into 5gal obviously, the roots kept a shitload of the miracle grow I had them in.... the 5gal buckets were filled with organic soil. So now I have about a 3 gal root ball of miracle grow sitting in organic soil.... I hope this is clear enough. My question is: Will I need any sort of nutrients or not because they kept so much miracle grow when I moved them over?

Actually the prob with M.Grow is the slow release nutes already in there. You want to be pretty much done with nitrogen at the time the dirt kicks in & releases too much.
What's in the ball is in the ball- not much you can do about it. If the new soil is appropriate you won't need to add any nutes for at least a month.

Haha! Thanks. I rotate the buckets every day and the holes aren’t blocked because of the lip in the bottom of the bucket 👍🏼 I’m using 2 foot wooden 2x4s I found outside.

But like everyone says- they'll pop back. For a visual here's a Black Cherry Punch mother- almost a month after I took 8 clones & left nothing but 3 stubs with 2 nodes & 4 leaves on each.1 PhotoLast edited by JDU; 07-09-2020, 11:41 PM.
