Do these need bigger pots?

Hi guys,

Just wondering if these plants are going to NEED bigger pots or not? Was trying to keep them small in these 1 gallon pots, but they're a bit bigger than what I was hoping. No problems so far apart from having to water daily.

For ref, I think they're 2 weeks or so on flower and in smart pots. I have heard you can leave them in the pots while transplanting smart pots. If necessary, would that be an option?

Dude, you said the roots stop growing and I corrected you. Now you're talking about stress? Make up your mind, lol.

Yes stress can slow down growth, but it's not hard to transplant a plant without stressing it out rookie.

Ok PadawanWarrior, the plant doesn't stop developing roots during the flowering time, but it does it in a much more slow and subtle way. This means that you'll need to maintain the root system in the best possible conditions so the plant can create large buds. All the roots affected by either lack of water or root rot will be lost, impairing the plant’s ability to absorb nutrients and therefore producing lower yields.

The only time I've seen transplant shock is when I dropped a plant and all the roots were exposed..
I routinely transplant from 2s to 5s after they start flower and never see shock..

when you turn a plant over to flower 12/12 its in veg for the first 2 weeks and canopy grows fast and so does the root system, after two weeks in flower everything slows down and the plant puts most its energy into bud growth.

Well this was a good example, there loads of websites that go into detail about root growth in flower, I have re potted plants, 3 weeks in flower and the root mass looked the same.(checking after I chopped the plant).
Tried trimming the roots in veg and flower, good results in veg, my experience is no root growth in true flower.

Really don't know what your point is, potting a plant up, 2 weeks in flower is not a good idea.

I don't transplant at flip its usually 2 weeks after flip.. And yes the 5 gal. pot is full of roots that grew during flower..
So I gotta call BS.
