Your Oppinion, should i transplant?

[SimpleSimon]

These plants are almost eight weeks old, and almost three weeks into flowering. The seeds came from an old hippy friend who pulled them out of a jar in his cupboard. So I am not really sure how long they will flower for, but i am guessing six to eight weeks. I am wondering if I should transplant them into slightly bigger pots. They are doing okay right now, drinking once every second day, i am just worried about them becoming root bound, or having there growth inhibited. Adversely i am also worried about shocking them with a transplant and lowering there budding activity. (they are 27" high)

What do you think??

How much more height do you have for them to grow? If you have the space then transplant them. If they are reaching the ceiling let them be.

transplant. i wouldnt use less than a 5 gal. in a smaller container (less soil) you have a smaller cation exchange capacity, as well as having to water more frequently as the plants get bigger. look for the black 5 gal containers that are only about 18" tall, they are easier to work with. the other 5 gal are too tall for my liking

I probably have about another foot and a half room. But after that the lights will be too close to the tops.

How much hight will the plants gain in the last month and a bit?

cant tell if you are flowering but it is a general rule of thumb that the plant will double in size when you flower.

Depending on where you live mabye u could put them outside during the day. and take them inside at night. Natural sunlight is great.

I would, i plan on putting some of my next batch in my moms garden, but i have too many school kids walking by the house to put them outside.

 

[SimpleSimon]

Yeah she's been blooming for almost three weeks. Lots of popcorn sized buds.

Fuck it. Go ahead and transplant. It will cost a few days in transplant shock, but the plants make up for it soon.

Your growin dro on your moms property? haha. I'd say translant and baby them for a few days afterwards to let them ease back into full swing.

I live in small down BC. If you lay low and are cool about things you can get away with anything. Also they have known the neighbours for 20 years, so know one complains. I am buying and selling houses, moving a lot, so usually my neighbours are not so forgiving

 

[SimpleSimon]

Hey guys thanks for the help. I am really glad i transplanted now. I have a pick here for ya, the roots had really maximized that pot.

Yikes. Those were rootbound. Very healthy looking roots though, nice.
