As long as they are the size you want to start flower you should be good to flip.

Yes, i would let them have a day or 2 or 3 to get acclimated to the new pot and make sure they are over any transplant shock they may have , before flipping

Flip right away.
It really doesn't make any difference.

is this coco specific? or just in general?
still new to all of this, but was always under the impression that plants should be given time after transplant to get over any shock they may be feeling from the uppotting
what do i know lol

If your gentle (treat the plant like it's the 1st breast you ever touched
), the plant will not be shocked.The plant won't react to the light change for around a week.

Same boat. Doesn't change to flower right away.If your gentle (treat the plant like it's the 1st breast you ever touched
The plant won't react to the light change for around a week.
Nice analogy by the way lol.

So the plants were super root bound in a 1.5 gallon ( I was watering daily at this point). Roots looked marvelous. I defoilated pretty heavy and put the net down to its final destination. Going to give it a few days to bounce back after removing a lot of tops and leaves below the canopy and what not. Aiming for 1 top per scrog hole and I had about 18 that didn’t make the cut. However some tops already have 2 or 3 growing out of it as well. Should be a very interesting 2 months. They look hacked right now lol but should be happy again tomorrow or the next. I really let them get out of control in veg. I am used to dead plants in soil so this healthy stuff is new to me lol. If all goes well I’ll have 48 tops with colas, here’s to hoping. Thanks for the advice all.

I dont generally stress about it too much as long as they are the size I want them to be. I just took plants in 2 at containers and put them in 5 gallon containers and put them in flower instantly. Pretty confident it wont make a differance.

Transplant shock.... another grow room "boogie man" that works it's way into the psychie of newer growers without much merit.
I can't recall ever actually witnessing any plant suffer any sort of stress from being transplanted, and I've had some situations, that felt like disasters at the time. Especially during solo cup Coco seedling moves ...
Transplant shock....
Poppycock I say.

I've seen it when watching other "gardeners" some people are very hard on their plants. I watched him transplant by grabbing the stems and just pulling them up and roughly manhandling them. Most were just shocked a couple weeks but one basically died. And that's how it goes for him regularly
Those of us who are gentle dont see the same shocks.

I usually pull the root ball apart lol. If that doesn't shock it... I dunno. Transplanting into dry dirt would probably do it though.

That's what I'm screamin'....I literally rip off inches of the rootball in some cases, and they seem to explode afterwards...
If anything I experience whatever the opposite of shock is.
I suppose, a weakish root mass could be set back if poorly handled, premature timing on the move, I could see that causing setbacks...

But really, to the point of the OP....
I have had some situations where the transplanted pot was immediately flipped to flower, and really took off during the stretch. Like I started doing that regularly, as I think for awhile was outvegging the pots to an extent.
