I don't think you have to worry much about them being rootbound. I wouldn't put them through the shock of transplanting during flower. Chances are your plant will grow only as much as it's root space (pot size) allows, before any problems from being rootbound are exibited.

Who really knows??? These are straight bag-seed clones! They are small because i had them under a 250w florescent.
I just barely moved them to the 600w... they look like a hybrid sativa dominant...
I shall post pics later tonight! Yea i was going for SOG but i had to keep them in veg way longer than i wanted to... Shit happens!!!

Okay thats what i was thinking as well... i just wanted some reassurance before i bought big ass pots that i might not need or have the space for! Have you grown in 2 gallon pots?

Yes they will get root bound but it is what it is. You could transplant them and if careful it may even do them some good but if it was my newb self I would just leave them. You will have to water them carefully with multiple waterings to help stop the water from just pouring out down the sides of the root ball, been there lol. You'll need to allow for a bit of run off, I used trays and let the water soak into the plant after watering then dump the excess. I'm no indoor soil expert but did a few at first before switching to hydro. When I grew outdoors, I used grow bags and they took multiple waterings to ensure a complete soak. The smaller the bag the more waterings per week
