i should know this but......... anyway. 12\12 from seedlings. small sog grow. 1 gallon pots, question is. will these 1 gallon pots be enough? they are the square ones. i figure so and only cus the 12\12 from almost seed , the roots wont grow as much if i was to vegg them for 3 or 4 weeks. so i figure they will but incase not i should transplant befor they go to much farther into flowering.

1 gallon per month of grow is a good rule. But starting in the smallest containers and gradually increasing sizes work the best in 12/12 in my experience. Root development is faster and more expansive doing it this way.

Keep going. Next size - just a little bigger. I used to mock a RIU poster - Big Steve - because he was a rabid fan of going just slightly bigger each transplant - until I did it. The root growth = faster vegetation and more of it. He was right and I have said so. Saying it again.

If you feel the roots have filled the medium in your present container then transplant.

i dont think so, there are 1 or 2 white tips showing but i dont think its enough to transplant. but isnt it bad to transplant to late into flowering? im not sure at the flower time they have been flowering for, id say 2 weeks in.

Squeeze the pot so that the medium comes away from one side of the pot.

If you can see roots circling around the medium then you can transplant.
