Should I be changing pots now?

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if a plant this size would be ready to transplant into a bigger pot (3 gallon). I have a similar size plant maybe about a little less than an inch shorter than this one which I am also wondering if I should be transplanting. Thanks in advance.

how long have you had this plant in that container??? when it is fairly dry, slide it out of the container and if it has roots on the sides, then it is ready to transplant. i keep my clones in party cups for about a week and a half, then transplant into 3gals. this is also after they have been rooted in rockwhool cubes

To answer your question not too long actually, maybe 2-3 weeks? I got the vibe they were ready to transplant after I watered them a couple days ago and they already need another watering today

You can wait, if you want, it'll be awhile before you'll habve to worry about them becoming rootbound, if that was your concern. They'll grow faster if you transplant though, as the roots spread and fill out the larger pot, so it's be a good idea to do it when you get time. The plants will also get bushier, as the roots grow outwards. Just look at a party cup grow, and you'll see what I mean. They are always tall and narrow,(unless trained) because the roots are confined.
