For the size plant, it just doesn't look like a 5 gal, that's all.

Yea I think the growth is stunt cause I started on 12/12 from the beginning then after I found out it was a female I flipped it back to veg

What you did is called monster cropping, it just takes time for the plant hormones to normalize again.
Leave the fan leaves alone, once it starts growing normal leaves go back and trim off any small buds and single blade leaves. Once you are seeing normal leaves growing out of the new growth again I'd give it a couple weeks before flipping to flower.

5gl buckets and #5 pots aren’t even close

I cut them cause they looked like they were dying and no light getting through.. I can’t see the main stem like I see on other ppl photos. Mine even have some sugar leaves.. the 18 is when I plan to flip which almost 2 weeks from now..

Huh I’m loss what are you saying

a 5 gallon nursery type pot doesnt hold 5 gallons liquid

 

[bam0813]

Nursery pots aren’t measured the same as liquid

You have sugar leaves because it started to flower, it didn't immediately switch back to flower when you put it back under veg lighting.

Do I keep those or cut them.. I really would hate to up pot this plant again trying to minimize the stress..

Up potting shouldnt be stressful.
Is the plant throwing "real" leaves yet?

@ladycherish, really just trying to help and maximize your grow. Your plants are looking good.

When we look at the size of those plants, relative to their pot size, the pots look small. Those types of pots that are sold for house plants aren't measured the same way as buckets, fabric pots, pots for hydro or weed growing in general, etc.

That out of the way.. it doesn't matter what size it is, it looks small for flowering. Pot size limits the potential size your plant can achieve, unless you go hydro. Be prepared to feed/water everyday or every other day. Larger pots with quality soil are much more forgiving, and will lead to a bigger, healthier plant, and more yield. Small/big, either way is fine, but one way will be easier...

For reference..

Good, give it a couple weeks. Next week maybe clean up the single blade leaves and any weirdness.

You don't need to up pot....

Well actually, maybe it'd be good, then the roots have a couple weeks to fill in the new pot and flip.
