Transplanting after sexing-BOG Sour Strawberry

I have several BOG Sour Strawberry plants I have been waiting to see sex on since flipping 8 days ago. Two have shown sex but now I am wondering how long can I wait before I am going too long to get these things out of their small pots. Will waiting another 4-5 days for the slow pokes to show sex hurt their growth in flower? I just don't want to plant a ton of males just to dig them up in a few days, you know? The problem I see is the short flower time of 50-56 days. I don't want to risk stunting them during stretch or bud set. I'd rather have to deal with wasting soil if it's necessary. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Okay so in two days not one suggestion? Not even to go screw myself? Gotcha, this sure is a helpful place. I searched all the other threads and found a bunch of conflicting answers first and then thought I would ask some fellow growers for opinions/help but hey I get it this is apparently not the place it used to be. Im out of here for good this time

pics would help. imo it will depend if they are way too big for their current pot.

I would probably transplant now either way. fresh soil is only going to help things. and keeping them in pots that are too small can definitely hurt them.

Thanks for replying. Yeah, I just went ahead and put them in bigger pots. I was able to weed out(pun intended) two more males so hopefully the ones being shy are the girls which it looks like based on other observations.

nice I usually wound up with exactly 50/50 males to females or maybe one either direction when I popped some BOG stuff this summer. SourStrawberry hands down is my favorite. Taste and smell is awesome. but its bedtime so I think time for some SourBubble instead.

good luck hope you get some nice ladies out of that batch!

also some advice for next time, I usually like to do my final transplant a min of a 3 days but more like a week before flip so that plants have a chance to build some new roots before flower. i go solo > 1 gal > 3 gal.

with seeds i actually just keep those in 2 or 3 gal pots as moms, and then take clones. by the time those clones are big enough to flower everything is showing preflower so when I flip it shaves a few days off flower time too since they are already mature.

Do you top your plants? You can stick the tops in a glass of water under 12/12 and it should start showing sex.
