I have found that transplanting just before flip , will cut down on stretch too.
I go straight away as in most cases I'm potting up
to Anticpate that stretch
I've yet to encounter any 'side effects'
good luck
lol...many times I go direct to the 10-14 day stretchAgreed.
Unless you've damaged the plant in some way ect, I found 0 bad happenings going straight into flower the same day as uppot/repot.
Ill take clones from a mother 1 week before I plan on flip. Rooting takes 7-10 days. Veg for 60 more. Start in 32oz cups/Promix BX, when roots fill the cup, uppot to 5g/Promix BX.
I veg in 5g plastic pots, under 1000w, while my other plants are flowering,.
By the time its time for flip, the 5g container plants are rootbound, and ready for uppot.
I'll slightly rough up the roots, to let them expand, and speed up the lateral root growth process, and plant them. IF you don't rough up the roots, it will limit the expansion of the central ball. All of my plants in 20 gallon container are rootbound at the end of the cycle.
So from being rooted at the start of flowering cycle, my closes after 70 days, and in 5 g pots, are ready to be upotted into a 20g container, and flipped.
I found that a GOOD PLANT will completely fill the rest of the 20g container by the time the plant is finished. So in my experience, Ive found no drawbacks.
Exactly. And how you tell that (obviously you cant see it) is the plant is drying out the medium daily or every other day. The pot lift method and sticking finger in there is your "eyes" and your technique here.until the container is filled out with roots......
I have transplanted and flipped on the same day many times.
It works really well because the flip/transition period initiates more roots.
That’s the answer I was looking for. Thanks for sharing this. I just transplanted, usuallykeepI have transplanted and flipped on the same day many times.

How long would you wait to flip after a transplant?
Not sure how I've never been in this position. But I need to transplant a lady that needs flipping... She just outgrew her current pot very fast once I lowered the LED strips.
I normally would wait a week after any trimming to flip, but what about after transplanting?
these girls are chest high already. Don't want to wait much longer.
I was searching last night and I found answers anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks to right after. I’m just going to wait a few days and see how they hold up to transplant, if they look ok I’m flipping. I will run out of room if I don’t. I could always trim it down a node or rebut prefer not to. As of now mine arnt liking transplant.How long would you wait to flip after a transplant?

That’s got my attention. What does Vermiculite do are you and HydroI was afraid of that.... Guess I'll wait to see some new growth after the repot.
Conditions are pretty tropical at the moment so growth is strong and steady.
I just can't believe how much these plants have improved after adding the vermicompost to the coco. (I'm running $10 a year nutrients)
