As the title says week 3 flowering. I have three clones in 1 gl. pots and I pretty sure they are too small for my girls. Anybody transplant clones when they are flowering? I don't have much knowledge on clones it's my first clone grow. I have a 430 hps. Also buds are kinda small thats why I ask.
Thanks for any help.

personally i wouldnt transpant during flowering. it will stress the plant out and maybe stop growing for up to a week. that will damage your yeild.

yeah it's touch and go....you could it probably wont be too bad. Some will tell you it will effect yield....but so will growing in 1 gallon pot vs 3.....you know? your call.

yea do repot .. carefully ..

the "stress" Ppl. will tell you it gets from a repot is more the few days it takes the plant to reach the side of the new pot ..

and even a littel stress here will be mouch better then a rootbound plant in flowering .. that will stress it .. a rootbound plant might only return half the yild .. a repot might cut out a few days of flowering .. so might "Loose" few days .. but nothing close to half the yild ..

and as Somebeech say .. you can do it carefully with next to no stress ..

or do as I did 2 weeks in ..

just cut out the bottom of the old pot carefully and place it in a new pot it fits in with fresh soil in it ..


p.s
in the future .. make it a habbit to repot a weeks before 12/12 ..
now I use a cup for seedlings and a 3 gallon pot for veg. and then a 5 gallon a week before 12/12 ..

good .. Im sure they will love it .. and you will love the result in the end ..

expect a few days with next to no grow over the soil .. and maybe a littel dropy leaves ..
but then expect a real boost in grow .. specialy if it just started to flower .. wouldn't surprise me if it double or triple in size with in the next 4 week ..

Ooh yea .. and may I suggest you do some research ahead of time ..

on what a flowering plant need to build great buds (high P. nutriens and some molasses maybe)

and when to determine on the best time to harvest based on trichomes .. and what kind of smoke you want .. and what kind of microcope you need to buy now ..

also how to haverst and dry it and cure it .. a few hours now can safe you a lot of trouble later on .. as I guess you just discoverd ..

but keep asking questions wile you do some more research and reading .. ther is a lot of helpfull Ppl. in here .. ready to give a helping hand ..

yup yup, thanks Slipon. been doing a lot of research on indoor growing. I have been growing outdoors for a few years but i wanted to get serious into indoor growing. I just started to grow for two cancer patients. unfortunatly its my Mom and Aunt. but anyways. I have a 420 scope i dunno if you know what that is but it magnifies from 60x-100x is that good enough? Been doing a lot of research on hydro systems thinking that might be the way to go so i can harvest more frequently in what little area i have [possibly a SOG].

yea 60x -100x will be perfect .. some use 30x .. mine is 100x

and yea I did also consider hydro ..

but Im growing in a spare bed room .. and I dont like to keep +50 liters water in my seccon floor appartment ..
I dont know what I would do if that water leak and Ppl. had to come in to my apprtment to dry it up and fix it aso .. specialy if I was`t at home and they thort it was a water leak and calld a lock smet ..

but coco might be a nice golden middel way .. no pumps and close to hydro when it come to yield .. need to hand water .. so no big water tank ..
and its easy to correct and hard to over water .. and its clean and can even be reused ..

and once you get the hang on it .. hydro wont be hard to switch to .. if that still is a wish ..

p.s.
I use a 70% Organic soil mix/30% coco fibers .. and like it ..
