Flip or repot ? Opinions please

So I have some plants in 18 litre pots, they were transplanted couples weeks back and are showing good growth. I also have a few plants in 6.5 litre pots that were transplanted at same time also showing good growth they were in smaller pots to begin with and I didn’t want all the aggravation of watering at different times like I would have had to because the root zone would have taken longer to establish if I had put them straight into 18s.
What’s everyone’s opinion, shall I flip them all now or repot the 6.5s into the 18s and flip them straight away.
Will they all start flowering at the same time? They are all my own clones btw same strain.
I don’t want to harvest at different times if the transplant will slow the onset of flower? I want them all on the same time frame.
Hope I have been clear enough
Thanks all

If you have any super thrive or B vitamin nutes then give them a good watering with that, then wait 2-3 days before transplant. Those vitamins will help the plant recover or keep from getting any shock.
As long as you are easy with the transplant and don't break the root ball all to shit then it will be fine. There is always some shock with transplant but it normally only takes a couple of days to recover. If you transplant and flip then at most they may be a couple days behind. At harvest time 2-3 days will not make any difference. So go for it.

Thanks for reply, I have some superthrive but always use minimal amounts. How much would you use for this job per litre?

I did this 3 days ago I transpoted a 7 to a 15 gallon, so she could match the other pots and she was huge and flipped that night. Everything is fine she loving life. Bigger plants can handle re potting better. She will start flowering just as soon as the other ones but I think she might have to go an extra week than the other due to the fresh nitrogen in the soil.

Just use what is recommended on the bottle per your situation. SwaggersDlite said it, everything will most likely be fine. Don't stress, take it easy with her and she'll be fine.

So the fresh nitrogen could slow her down yeah. I done a test like this before light mix soil vs all mix soil. The plant in the light mix boosted off into flower much faster so that backs up your comment as well. Nice one
