2 wonder women in 5 gal buckets..showed sex like 3 weeks ago getting pretty big and im afraid of them getting root bound and not having enough umf to finish out..what are you opinions is it too late to switch em to maybe a 7 gal or so to give them a bit more near the end or will it harm em? Ive heard that near the end the roots dont grow to much, or as fast but still the bigger the root the healthier the fruit! thanks in advance guys

I personally think its a little too late to repot them now. I sure they are floweering already. repotting them is gonna stress them which could make'em herm. I would hold off if I were you. How big are they anyway?

If you follow my transplanting tutorial on pg. 38 of my 2010 grow, linked below, your plants will benefit. Possibly a lot.

Followed carefully, you should see a growth spurt.

the plants are roughly 4 ft and 4 1/2 ft i used same sized pots last year and found that the buds ddint seem to fill out as they should have but maybe thats not from buckets but a lack of soemthing else. i had them in 2 gal pots and there growth stunted as soon as i re potted they blew up and now are easily 3 times bigger then firtst repot. pot is only double the size tho so i just figured they need a bit more
