transplanting from bag to pot

How do i transplant from a 3 gal bag to a 5 g pot?
Can i just cut the bag ? Also im in week 2 of flower

eh,not such good idea. Shock could make it not finish in a timely manor. PLus they stop growing roots or slow alot around the 2nd-4th week, depending.

Pics would help sir. If its rootbound in a 3 gal smart pot, it must be huge

Not necessarily ^^
I have one strain that always needs to be repotted in flower...DNA genetics Rocklock doesn't slow it's roots at all...lol...But then again it is by far the most compact plant I have grown...

And there is nothing wrong with transplanting in flower...it is not recommended because this is not the point where you want to mess up...but for real no worries...just cot the bag and plop it in the new pot...

The easy way:

fill the 5 gallon bucket with soil to desired level.
Set the 3 gallon bag inside the 5 gallon pot.
Cut the bag off of the root ball, leave the bottom there and remove the rest.
fill the rest of the 5 gallon pot with soil and water

Fersure its not like my plants afe huge. They are real stalkey. I just thought it would be a good idea to trans. Def not rootbound tho
