The 6 biggest ones are on average 20 inches tall.

Just go 5 gallon. It will give that extra time I was talking about.
When watering after transplant 1 gallon of water for every 5 gallons of soil is what I follow. That will cause a decent amount of run off ensuring you dont end up with a salt build up.
Also your roots are going to be root bound when you pull that out. You will need to gently massage the roots that are bound to help lossen them up so they can grow out into the new soil.
Always do transplants out of the sunlight or if in a tent with lights off. Sun hitting those roots is very bad.

Okay thank you i will do that. Should i try to be careful because i don't want to break the roots. If i do will it kill them? Just being on the safe side.

that is probably what that white powdery stuff on the bags was. Salt i am assuming.

Be careful and gentle. It will not kill them but it will slow it down if you break a ton of them. A couple is fine and expected.

Would it be a good idea to transplant into new soil and then flush with the vaccum method? Just being sure before doing this. They are dry now so gonna do this within the next day or 2. Also good news my clones all made it and are doing great! I grew the clones in jiffy peat pellets which have a bag like casing. When transplanting the clones should i remove the bag/paper casing? If you know i would appreciate it.

Flush 1st then transplant. That's my suggestion. I also don't think you need a vacuum method at all. Just pour 1 gallon of water through your pot. Let it runoff and dry a bit and then transplant.
I'm sorry I dont know anything about jiffy pellets.

Not sure how ppm works i guess... not sure if that mattere in thid situation or if my tool isn't the best working. Another plant i just did ran 2600ppm

I'm happy that you were able to save them, sorry if that was insulting I was only trying to make the point that you could have prevented that if you only take the time to do a little reading ,I'm just stating things like I see them

Not really but still I'm just stating the obvious he asked for criticism by post on a help forum dont get mad and attack me because you dont like my advice you brought my plant up? But I'd say my plant is doing 100x better than this guy by no means will I win any contest but I did my homework before I start giving nutes

Good morning. That second plant you ran had salt build up in the roots. Thats what you are seeing with that ppm I believe.
I dont use a ppm meter. I probably should tbh but I dont. Lol.
Did you transplant the other one yet?
