So I have just repotted all 11 ladies to 5 gallons from 2 , lst'd em all and fed them with normal feeding and put the timer on 12 /12 lights . I was wondering when do I add the boost and flowering schedule is it str8 away ? And do you think the roots will fill the new 5 gallons in the flowering stage as they already filled the 2.5 gal pot before transplant ? They are growing at a rapid rate they only 39 days old .can anyone see if they are female by the pics also ? .

I would give them a few days at least, maybe a week to recover from the repotting before flipping.

I thought they was rootbound a bit too so I pulled at the bottom of them and loosened all 11 of them just so I had some roots danger dangling down and not a circle . Was this ok to do ? Some people cut the roots I have seen . So do you think I should give them another week in veg ? I thought they don't start to flower right away anyway as they take a little time know that they are actually in the 12 /12 cycle ? I want them a little bigger anyway. well like 3 out of the 11 are a little shorter than the rest one is huge like nearly 2 ft at 39 days old and lst'd

To me root bound just means the plant is matured to its confined space and ready to flower. I don't think it will hurt anything to make more roots in the bigger pot. Of course I'm a 12/12 from seedling type so, 2 gal are plenty for my style. 2 thumbs up on your method tho LST and all that is foreign to my own simple style. It's a really nice looking plant.

I would probably veg for another week like the other guy said. It will give it time to adjust to the new space and be ready to flower. Again I'm a 12/12 guy so.... Everything's my style is relative. Pot size to plant size, amount of light, time, soil etc. I used to grow in 5 gallon buckets but, realized that it is kind of a waste to my style. I'm actually considering downsizing from 2 gallons to 1.5 square pots. I mean you could grow one plant in a hundred gallon pot outdoors. But, indoors unless you've got a gazzilion watts of light it would be a total waste of resources. Everything is relative to YOUR goal. Yeah I would go back to veg for a week. It's a really nice looking plant tho. Very vigorous! I just throw a seed and pull off the occasional yellow and crispy dead leaf. lol. I'm probably the laziest indoor guy micro guy ever. lol

Ha cheers mate . The new room in the bigger pots I have is mostly at the sides (width ) do you think they can fill these sides even though they grow downward as I pulled lose all the bottom roots and none off the sides
