I've done it even later in flower.
Just take care to baby the roots, even if you have to cut the old pot away.
Try to have the soil kinda dry when transplanting also,also saves damaging the roots.
You'll be fine..good luck.

I'm in week two of flower, I have two rooms, same plants in each room. One room is doing significantly better than the other. I've analyzed the weak room, and (long story short...) I've determined the problem has to do with pot size/shape (too small, too tall and narrow), and issues with the soil mix I used.

They are relatively healthy, no specific deficiencies, they just have way less foliage and are growing and maturing much more slowly than the ones in larger pots (in a wider space, allowed for a bigger footprint) that got a better soil mix (specifically, a better Perlite proportion - has better aeration and better drainage).

I'm wondering it if its too late in the game to transplant them. At this rate, they'll take forever to finish.

if your carefull with the roots you'll have no problem
i reported 4week in flower ........ No problems.



personally i don't think repotting has any stress on plants if done carefully.

Thanks everyone for your help! Over the years as a gardner I've transplanted lots of plants, from small starts to small trees, but I feel like these are very delicate given the size of the plant and the amount of soil they are in.



...which might amount to a few days or so for them to recover?



I've heard it both ways -- some say transplant wet some say dry, just based on the sheer weight of these wet, I'm leaning towards dryer. I've also thought about cutting the pots, I'll have to see what I have that would cut them cleanly.
