Can I transplant during week 2 flower?

[waltermank555]

Can I transplant to a bigger pot week 2 of flower? Is a non auto in a2.5 gallon that I have to water every day. She was a unknown seed also.She Looks very healthy. Or should I just let her be? Her stretch was a little more than I was expecting.

I really don’t think it’s a good idea. Your last transplant should be like a week or more before you switch to 12/12. The girls get sensitive in flower and it could really hurt your yields. How long did she veg for?

Yes you can and you should. The plant will love you for it.

Transplant ASAP but don’t go too big. The roots will still grow through flower. What size pot? I wouldn’t give it more than a few gallons more of soil though.

Danger davey!

2.5 to a 5 gallon smart...i vegged about 6 weeks...she didn't show signs of sex so I flipped to 12/12

nonsense. That plant hasn’t even started flowering and wants a transplant for sure. Danger is to keep it in that small pot.

 

[danjac82]

Ok

that’s a 5 gallon? Looks a lot smaller. How big is the plant? How long in the current pot?

In a 2.5 gal pot and 6 weeks of veg with all that flowering to go. 2.5 is for sure small! You should have transplanted a while ago. I was in a 5 ga 7 weeks after seed. You will for sure want to upgrade I guess but it will be risky! Hope for a smooth transplant but be careful. Next time transplant to your final pot before switch. Good luck man! Cheers

It may want a transplant but it doesn’t mean it’s ideal to do so in flowering because it is not recommended.

I often transplant first few weeks 12/12 and up to 4 weeks flower with no issue. Plants don’t skip a beat and show their appreciation to me for what I’ve done. Lol. You’re right about the smooth transplant. Smooth and there’s never an issue even if in flower. I used to be paranoid until I did it a bunch of times. I think the guys who stress their plants transplanting in flower are just rough with the plant when pulling it out. I use hard plastic so they just slide right out. I don’t pull stalk or have to loosen anything. Turn upside down, hold stalk so plant doesn’t fall as I give a few shakes

 

[Sawzall77]

Danjac is right... your plants will love you for it

It is in a 2.5 gallon from seed about 9 weeks

If your a smooth transplanter and know what your doing and have experience then everything is different. But as for me and waltermank and everyone else who are not as experienced, there WILL be more risk involved. 2.5gal pot and 6 weeks veg.... if you don’t transplant, your yield will suffer. Do it before it gets more rootbound than it is now...

Only time I remember getting stress or transplant shock was back in the day when I would pull plants up from the pot by the stalk. Lolol. I’d literally yank it up out of the dirt..ripping roots and shit. Lol. Lost a lot of plants first grow that way. I never had read anything about growing at that point. As long as roots are filled the pot it should come right out without disturbing the root mass and should be perky that same day right after you pot up

for sure. Rootbound in flower can give you early fade and uptake issues. Leaves not perking. Plants limping to the finish line with one single green sugar leaf left on them. Lol. The kind of plants you keep a secret. Lol

Yea could just water it. It’s up to you. Plants look green. Is that purpling progressing in the stalk or has that stopped?

I think it stopped...i supercropped her many times..the purpling is only in the stalks of the leaves..and purpling where I pinched her

Those are the only pics I have of her...I'm not home
