and this i/s hybrid

i have never gotten plants this late...they are budding...
what size pot should i put them in?
is this going to even be worth it? ...these were given to me...i didn't want to be rude...
i am quarantining them till i can kill the pm and make sure they are ok to go in the real garden...
what do you guys think?

They are a little stretched but look pretty healthy! Just let them go. Even with little care you could probably pull an ounce off each.

Once the PM and any pest issues are solved clone the sativa and start her again, but finish off the hybrid; she still looks to be in good shape.

Let em grow and see how it goes...I would probably repot that one that is in the ultra tiny pot though...
I mean you can't go wrong with gifted plants...if they turn out crap oh well nothing lost...

I would just cut that taller one in half and then let it bush back out if I wasn't going to just flower it..
It would have to be inside at my place though, so that makes a difference. I guess it is up to you...you can work with them and maybe get something amazing..or leave them be and still get something that's alright...

18 would be a waste of soil and space imo. 5 would be great! Just be gentle when transplanting so u dont strees them and they should be perfect!

I would either put them in the ground or leave them in their current pots. Tie them down gently over the next 2 weeks and they will open up many more bud sites :bigjoint:

"decent shape" "magnificent gift" "good amount" are all subjective.... you want them? come up here to 707 you want my yellow leaves too?

I just did a transplant 2 days ago with the plant just starting to flower. Transferred from 5 to 10 gal grow pot/bag. No signs of stress and I can already see the difference. Lower leaves arent drooping and not having to water every day. I say transplant, just be very careful and try not to disturb the root system, and you should be fine. In your case with the size of the current pot, I'd say the risk is worth the reward.

That is tricky business to repot a plant that big.

If it were me, I'd chop off the top two feet and put them under some HID's for 12/12 and let 'em bud out.
