Hey gonna be topping these soon, was just wondering if it would be best to do this or transplant them first? Was thinking too today, give em a few days to recover then transplant? This sound ok? Any help appreciated
Top first or transplant?

People also seem to say it's and idea to do both at the same time (get all the stress out of the way at once), is this too much or is this a good idea?

Those should be topped already. 3-5 nodes, and I like early topping for the first point.
The big plants have some time in the pot left to go yet, before up potting.
LOL - dumb pots - fabic pots are *not* "smart"......They create problems that are in my book. Worse then the one's they claim to help!
I like Plant Warrior pots for 1's and 3's. Then up pot to "normal" plastic for the final pot.(5's or 7's) I let the roots coil the bottom "a bit" and slice them 1/4 inch deep on the bottom from 12 to 6 and 9 to 3 o'clock. Once in the new pot they get watered with feed and supplemented with Kelp extract at 5 ml per gal. I water the outside edge to get the roots to run to the moisture.
I get no expression of "stress" - even with cutting the coiling roots like that. That and the Kelp extract, make them explode in growth!
Old school greenhouse trick!

This is only my second attempt and I have had bad experiences early in this one with plastic pots and over watering, my first was an auto grow that went pretty well in the root pouches so just stuck with them, how long would you say they have in the pots before they need transplanting then? Thanks in advance
