I would wait a day or two, but I don't honestly know. Just wait and see how your plant reacts to its new home

Yeah that's a good idea... Unfortunately I wanted to get the nutrients in on the next watering cycle, but at the same time, I know I have to really water the crap out of the new pot when i transplant.. so I guess I'll wait on the nutrients until she sucks up the water from the transplant...
I was hoping I'd get away with using the pot I have now for at least a couple more weeks, but it's unreal, the plant got so wide so fast. You can't see it in the pictures of it I posted earlier in this thread, but now the 5 fingered fan leaves extend about a half inch over the edge of the pot on either side, and there is a LOT of new growth on top, she's really cruising..
I'll take some more pics of her tomorrow and post em up...

Okay guys, here's a pic update, she's grown a LOT since the last pictures (it's only been 4 days)..
Today she's 2 weeks and 3 days old (since sprouting, breaking the soil after I germinated and planted her..)
Check this out!
The growth around the nodes is going crazy now..
closeup of the center /top of the main stem:
node growth
I bumped this leaf on the side of my box picking it up and out a few days ago and put a little hole in it.. i was like NNNOOOOOOO!!!!!
And here's a comparison shot, first shot was taken on 5/6, second shot was taken this morning 5/10

I think it's probably a little to early to tell but if I had to make a guess I would say Indica. But hey I had some plants lookin like that and then when they really started flowering they exploded and like tripled in height and looked way more like a sat. Lookin great so far man.

Looking good! I have a few stealth grows under my belt. From my trials, I found that if I LST too early in the growing process it adds too much stress to the plant. My first grow I started LSTing my three plants at about you stage of growth or maybe a little further along. All three turned out to be male. From then on I let the plants get taller and then started LSTing. To date: Cotton Candy 4 for 5 females, all bag seed grow 5 for 6 females, and my current grow 3 for 3 females, Apollo 11 seeds from the web. Knock on wood... Good luck!

Well she's definitely perked up and it's only been the night, I bet once the lights come on she'll rise and shine.. got about 30 minutes until night is over..
Man.. She already has a very distinctive smell.. I just adjusted a couple of fan leaves and i can smell it on my fingers.. Smells like Basil almost..

Thanks Dude! +rep to you too.
Unfortunately Mylar was simply too expensive for me, so I used Aluminum Foil, but with the matte (not shiny) side out, not the highly reflective side. I glued it down to keep it as flat as possible.. seems to be working and I'm not noticing any "hot spots" or whatever.

Good lookin out bro! I'm right there with ya on the mylar, just too expensive right now. I actually found some old xmas wrapping paper that was more foil than paper. the back side of it was straight shiny reflective stuff. looked at the label and I'll be damned! 60% mylar! only had about 4 feet to work with though so i couldn't get the whole box just the reflector. I knew i shouldn't have given the wife so many gifts.......

I'm in the same boat. I'm saving up to buy some thick mylar. Right now I am using an emergency blanket. They are large and cheap.

I hear Flat white spray paint is a good alternative and foil is pretty bad.
