Flowering in small pots and coco

Last I got to know that the house is going thru a bit of renovating this fall. No worry, since evidently the contractor is interested only in the outer wall and his workers won't be using my toilet or anything.
This time I've got a handful of plants vegging in coco and very small pots. Do you think I should start flowering and use a fan+carbon filter for circulating the air in my bathroom in this configuration? Or should I get some larger pots and transplant? Tent+Wilma is anyway out of the question in this case since, in my judgement, I need to keep them out of sight until december.
Edit: And I mean REALLY small pots normally used for germination (which was my sole intention this time too, but things changed).

Transplant them! Tiny pots = tiny root structure = tiny plants.

I'm not sure why you are suggesting keeping them in small pots or flowering now - if you flower now, you still won't have done before Fall is over and Winter is here.

The way I see it, when you're growing, you are going to a certain amount of risk, expense and work, and cutting back on this or that isn't going to reduce any of the risk, expense or work, but it *is* going to diminish returns significantly.

In other words, do it properly or don't do it at all.

Larger pots and more coco it is then. Just asked because I've read somewhere that too small pots will kill flowering plants.
The bathroom part then? Do you think I should go thru with it?

I would advocate fresh air intake and exhausting outside - allowing fresh co2 and venting heat and smell instead of it building up. You need to keep humidity low to make the carbon filter work too.

I've flowered plants in coco in 1L airpots before.

Biggest single stem plant was 2ft tall and had 14g on it.

The downside was that they needed watering ALOT more frequently.

Like 2-3x a day.

But its doable.

I think I could have fit around 20 of them under my 600w.

Would have been at best a 300g harvest. Maybe. Only speculation as I didn't run all 1L.

So it can be done, especially with coco.
