Has anyone ever transplanted a mature plant??? It shouldn't be as hard on the plant if the roots are stronger, right???
Anyone ever???

Go for it. What’s the worst that can happen? Dropping the plant in transport to the new pot is all to worry about. If your in flower tho.. you may notice a little stagnant behavior. They can take it.. I would just add a week to the bloom stage if it’s in flower.

All the time. Take the opportunity to bust up the root mass. Prune them even.

I'm thinking about putting it in some living soil and hopefully it will look like these that are already in some... Someone told me that I was overfeeding this plant so I backed off and the bitch damn near died on me!!! I feel like I can trust the people who have answered me so far and that's what matters to me...

100% agree. I worked at a nursery for a few years. After the first week I had transplanted like a thousand plants. My mates are so hesitant and sheepish while transplanting, and then I come across, score the roots with a rusty knife, bang the shit out of them and throw them in a pot. Never had an issue.
I find pruning the roots that encircle the pots walls to be a help when transplanting rootbound, mature plants, and most people have a god damned heart attack.

You're not transplanting that bud monster are you?

If you say that I shouldn't, I won't... But that soil is so light that it doesn't really hold water well... It sucks the runoff up before I can get a chance to get rid of it... few hours later its dry again and I'm having to do it all again, so I probably am overfeeding it, but what else can I do besides put it back in the other tent that its too big for with the other 3 in there...That's why I moved it in the first place...

Looking good. I'm considering one of those fc lights for the 3x3 I've got in the closet.

What kind of container is it?

Square plastic... The round ones hold water much better... I don't understand it... Really, I'm just tired of mixing shit wrong when I feed them,and that living soil is looking good on those other plants... I just want what's best for my ladies!!!

This is the one you want!!! It's working great, turned all the way up and with the tent closed it barely gets over the mid eighties...

Consider breaking the bottom of the container off and just setting it on top of a container of perlite.

I have learned not to transplant in the flowering stage. You could stress the plant into doing bad things like herming.
That looks fine idk why you'd transplant.

It’s a piece of piss.
Just back fill around an existing pot the size of your current plant pot into your new pot.
And then lift and plant.
obviously the larger your current pot The more difficult it will be etc but principle remains the same.
