Hey everyone so here is the situation... Ive been growing in 1 1/2 gallon pots. Im in 2nd week of flower and I now have room to step up to a bigger pot, is it to late to transplant?

I Know the more room the roots have the bigger yield i will get. Thanks!

If you transplant you run the risk of transplant shock. This will cause the buds to cease formation for as long as it takes to strengthen the roots and get themselves acclimated to their new grow media. Even if u use the same grow media you used before this is still risky.

i wouldnt transplant since your already into flower. You can def do it and you could yeild more but in my opinion its not worth the risk of shocking your plant and losing yeild. You might get a little more yeild if your successful or you might get almost no yeild or you are not sucessful. In my opinion i would rather just let it go and next go around transplant into bigger pots

If done carefully and properly, there should be no problem at all and the plant will not even know anything happened. The main thing is to be sure to get all of the soil surrounding the roots out of the current pot at once. This can be accomplished by letting the soild dry a bit so that it sort of hardens, but is not dry to the point of it being just powdery dirt.Or you can do it by making sure the soil is pretty moist, but not actually wet. If it's in a plastic pot, simply cut down the side of the pot and the plant, soil, and rootball should all come out as one. Make sure your new pot is right there with fresh soil on the bottom, a few inches should be fine, then slip the old soil with all the roots into the new pot and surround with more fresh soil. I've transplanted literally millions of plants over the years, not all marijuana but a lot of them too, and have never ever had any signs of stress from transplanting. The people who say it can overstress a plant or have bad effects are possibly people who think it's just a matter of ripping a plant out of one pot and dropping it into another. Be careful with it, keep as much of the original soil around the roots as possible, and transplanting should be no big deal whatsoever.
