I'll pot up now then FIM, that way you get the uncomfortable stuff outta the way allowing for an easy ride till bud, FIM yes don't defoliate, don't undo your hard work by removing those very leaves you have spent time and money growing to my blog: https://www.rollitup.org/Journal/Entry/de-leaf-or-not.28321/

the pics make it hard to tell, are those 1 gal pots? if so they probably do not need to be transplanted yet. a good way to know if your plants need transplanting is when the drainage holes have multiple roots in each of them, means ur roots probably could use more space.

I wouldnt be worried about transplanting after a fim, plants are very young and a little stress now wont hurt em.

Are you planting multiple plants in the new pots or just putting each plant into it own bigger pot?

If you are planting them all into their own pot then dont worry about sex yet. Likely they will show sex in veg, if not in the beg of flower, but just watch them and pull the males when/if they show up.

If you are planting multiple plants into one large pot it is a different story. You dont want to plant the males and have to rip them out and have open spots in your canopy. If this is the case i would wait until the plants show sex(5-8 weeks in veg), or flower clones from them (2 weeks from time u 12/12).

I am planting them in their own single pots so should be ok to transplant right. The bigger plants were sprouted on the 11th this month so 18days ago from seedling.. how much longer should i veg for?? atleast 2weeks or 3 weeks right??

if u are planting them in their own pots u are good to go. I would veg them until they are 1/3 to 1/2 as big as u want them to be when they finish. Depending on your space and such u could do it now or wait a while. The more branches and thus bud sites the plant has is more indicative of how much a plant will yield than size imho, but its all opinion. Some people go to flower with smaller plants than yours. I personally would veg them until they have about 6 solid strong branches which probably will take a few more weeks after u give them a good topping. I always give my plants at least 10 days after a major topping before flowering, but this is not necessary as they continue to veg for at least a week after u switch the lights.

i just FIMMED a few of the big ones just to try hopefully witll work then mist LST abit then in a week should be able to vegg properly...
