Serious question

Hi fellas,
Im growing indoors.
Im writing to ask about if it is a good idea to re-transplant the plants into even bigger pots. After 2 weeks time , ive transplanted them into big pots , but now , 2 months later im feeling they need more space.
Is it a good idea to break to pot , and plant them into huge-ass pots ? And if yes , can i get some tips on how can i do it safely.
Main idea behind this is because my stongest plants' leaves are fading away , which i think its from overwatering.

If i didnt make much sense , im sorry , i can try explaining agian , but please , i seek help on this serious note.
Thanks in advance.

A little more info is needed for a good answer. Are they in flower or veg, how long into flower if so. Also if it's a reg seed or auto flower. If it's a regular seed in veg you can transplant up as you want or need. I normally go from solo cups to gallon then to 3-5 gallon when I put into flower. I try not to transplant anything in flower unless it's needed badly. Auto flowers do best not transplanting from what I've read and the few I've ran. When I transplant I try to do it while the soil is moist but not real wet. I think the moisture holds it all together so when I'm moving from pot to pot it stays completely intact disturbing it as little as possible. If you post more info or pics some one with more experience is bound to chime in.

I wouldn't transplant unless the plant had at least 6 weeks left. I'll tell you what I tell everyone... You could grow the whole plant in a liter of dirt, even a solo cup... how big is your pot currently? Transplanting does not make up for crappy root systems, your probably doing something wrong if your plans growth has slowed or stopped. What symptoms does your girl show that makes you think you should transplant

What is your nutrient line, soil pH, soil ec or ppm,what do you pH your nutrients 2? What is your grow medium... Are you sure things like temp n humidity are OK? Plants in veg or flower? Have you ever flushed? Do you use any beneficial bacteria?

Woah so many replies thanks guys>

First to show , have no idea what a "veg state is" since its my 2nd grow ever ( 1st was outdoors so i didnt have any single issues)

Plants are 8 weeks old

The plant that im worried about - its on the picture im attaching. ( its alot healthier on the picture than it is now - at the moment half of its leaves are almost dead) , thats why I want to transplant him and the rest 6 plants in bigger and fresh soils , since i think i might have overwatered.

I use a trusted source of bacteria and organic spray.

The pictures attached were taken around 2 weeks ago when the fading started, now half of the poor plant's leaves are dry and getting smaller and almost dead =(

IMO, you should do some extensive research on indoor growing...you seem to be quite behind.

Your soil mix looks inadequate, your pots(cups) probably don't have drain holes, the leaves are droopy which would indicate over/under watering(in this case I'm inclined to believe it's over watering looking at the soil colour).

-find a soil mix with high porosity and good water retention
-poke some drainage holes in the bottom of your cups
- water with 2-400ml of water every few days when the cups become extremely light weight(use enough water to give 10%~ runoff)

Aside from those obvious issues, you really need to research indoor marijuana horticulture.

Hehe , my Soil mix is an excellent and expensive , and ofcourse i digged holes under the pots - they have quite the air , ;) . I've grown other plants before, so not that far behind.

Main question of my topic was , if it is okay to transplant those plants into bigger pots , without damaging the roots system and the plant itself.

Thanks again.

Did you add pearlite to yer soil?
You can transplant
Maybe add pearlite

dont transplant, fix your issue. thats plenty big for another week or 2. if your container does have drainage holes, and your medium isnt dry, then your plant looks dehydrated. your ph is probably super off or your ec is to high and your plant cant eat through the salts in your dirt blocking almost all uptake by the roots. i would seriously flush those plants with 3-5 gals of tap water for every gallon of soil in the pot. leave the ph of the tap water alone. then just wait till the top of the soil starts to dry out before feeding again. your plant should perk up n get some new growth. what is dieing is gonna continue to die. watch new growth.

You've grown other plants but aren't aware of what a vegetative state is?

I think you're much farther behind than you realize...

Sounds like a good answer to me.

i agree, dont ask for help if your not willing to do some homework. thats one of the most fun parts. you are very behind the curve

Well, in this case the curve would be like so:

Bottom of the curve: OP

Middle of the curve: most people who have done a moderate amount of research into marijuana horticulture

Upper portion of the curve: growing gurus

These are also 8 weeks old from seed... Something is very wrong with your methods. What kind of light are you using?
