So i made a mistake right at the beginning. I thought i bought 5 gal pots but i bought 10 gal pots. Didn't realize until they were 3 months old (one plant on left is only 1.5 old). Here's the thing, one plant is very short and i feel the roots must have hit bottom because it has not grown in like a month. So should i transplant them into 12 gal pots for flower? Or will they be okay? The other two tall ones also have stopped growing taller which is fine I'm almost running out of room in my room.

1. Will they get too large for my grow room if i transplant?
2. Will they be fine if i don't transplant?
3. Do you think they hit bottom and that's why this plant is so short or because it's all indicia?

Are they photoperiod plants? Are they still in veg? Based on the fact that they currently aren't flowering I'm going to guess still in veg.

When you flip to flower they are going to stretch 2-3 times the height they are now. Based off the first picture it doesn't look like you'll have adequate height for that. How much space do you have left to raise the light? Don't forget even after they double or triple in height you need enough space between the top of the canopy and the light.

Dammit. This is my first indoor grow. Indoor-ish. I I've done years of 7ft tall plants in my garden so i never had issues. So do not transplant then? Flip right away

All soil potted plants "hit bottom"they do not become root bound
Lack of proper nutrients and poor watering habits can cause a stall but honestly it looks like you are going to have a mess flipping so late
Start cropping and flip ASAP

What do you mean cropping? Super cropping? Some branches are thick as fuck.

You should flip asap, you're going to run out of height where you can raise your light. They're going to stretch like crazy. Tell us what kind of soil you have, and are you adding any nutrients to it? If you aren't adding anything, you probably just used up what's in the soil. I would not transplant, but you probably need to supplement them with something.

Do the one's you can...it may take more time and effort, but you can.
As your flower time progresses, continually force the branches down and outward.
Keep your temp differentials very close between lights on and off, this can help limit stretch.
Use the "bow" method for tying down unruly stems.
Good luck...I think you might need some about two weeks after you flip!

10 gallon pots are plenty big. I've grown plants 7 ft tall plants in less than a 1 gallon pot of soil. I'm not recommending that but you're fine with 10 gallons.

There is no need to be flushing.
