I started my first indoor grow about a month or so ago plants are doing good but small. they're in 7 inch pots and have gone into flower. My question is, Is it a good or bad idea to transplant after the plant starts to flower ?

Go ahead just water them thoroughly first so the roots and soil stay together, do not disturb the roots, just lift and set and add some soil and back under the lights.

They are tough as, won't hurt em I've had em fall apart,roots all over shoved em in another pot and they didn't skip a beat. I always give em a seaweed feed after as a tonic to prevent shock.

The real question

How long have they been in flower?

in theory once you see flowers,

veg is over and no further vegetative matter will grow

but thats not accounting for the practicable of post veg stretch

imo: potup to a 3usg, at days end so they recover overnite

and go 18/6 for 2 weeks then resume 12x12

good luck

No. Let it dry for the roots to stay together. Watering them will make it a mess.

I let them dry so the soil shrinks a bit and squeeze the sides of the pot and remove rootball.

If you do it right they wont miss a beat. Just let them dry some and squeeze the pot to loosen the root ball. Set the stalk between middle and ring fingers and flip the pot upside down. It should come out in one piece.
 
Dry root ball for sure and it stays in one piece. If there's lots of roots on the bottom take a bread knife and slice off the bottom inch like a slice of bread. Pack the soil around firmly but don't jamb it in to tight than water the pot well so it's saturated. It'll settle an inch or more so take that into account when you fill the bottom to set the height. They'll go gangbusters and fill the new pot with roots in a week. They'll just be stifled in too small a pot and will throttle back.

I'll put a bamboo stick or piece of dowel in to support it for the first while.

You can always use and empty pot the same as the girls are in to mold soil in the new pots so you just pull the plant out by the stem, saw the roots off and drop it in the pre-made hole. Water fairly well when packing around the empty pot so it holds it's shape when the empty is taken out.
