Is it OK to Re-Pot during flowering?

[dr2brains]

I just started 12/12 several days ago and I may have more space available in 1-2 weeks.
Will it be too late to re-pot?

I will have more height so I thought may help with growth.

What size you in now. Its not reccomended to re pot in flower. It will cause a lot of stress and will be pulling energy away from the flowers and send it to the roots instead. Its not ideal but its its not illegal. Good luck and good growing

Yes youll be fine just dont bust up the root ball and sure to feed the girls after

repotting during flower is not a good idea

My biggest problem with repotting in flower is my fans blowing my ladies over.You may have to consider an extra week into the harvest time but that is dependent on the Class and Strain.

repotting in flower is never a good idea u dont want to add stress to the plant mate ...repott only if rootbound that is it pal..

You can transplant during flower but you need to expect a week or so of added flowering time for the plants to recover from the stress.

its perfectly fine. I've done it plenty of times. I'd go for it w/o a doubt.

Best way to transplant a larger plant is to leave it in the original pot and cut out just the bottom of the pot.
You can then set the bottomless pot on top of the dirt in a larger pot. I do that routinely with those plants
I want to re-grow.

i'm really lazy. i transplant after they show sex. they do fine! i've treated roots like delicate virgins and i've treated them like crack whores who are into abuse. they seem to do fine either way!

the good old double pot method! i did this for one grow. every single time that i went to move the pots for watering or whatever, i'd grab the top pot and pull or twist. feeling the roots rip would make me cringe. so basically every time i had to move the pots at least one of them got damaged. i would tell myself that next time i wouldn't be so stupid, but of course....

i would stop getting high while working on the plants but that's just crazy!

Problem I encountered, was the root system just never developed enough to accommodate for a bigger pot. Which made watering and nuting more difficult as the pot would dry slower. I think a sativa or longer flowering strain might handle it better.
