So I have 3 plants going in a 4x8 , I let them get a bit bigger than I intended in the 3 gallon pots in Roots organic potting soil, but now 18 days into flower and I am looking at them thinking they would be way happier in 5 gallons.
I'm sure transplanting them now will likely take some from the final yield as they will spend energy trying to grow more roots. Am I right in thinking that ?
If I am I think I am ok with that loss as this is my first grow and anything will frankly please me .
but is there any other reason not to just do it ?
Also with every transplant I have used Mikos (microrrhizae) any thoughts on if I should or shouldn't when I transplant into the 5 gal? part of me thinks yes for the microrrhizae cause it will make the root growth explode way faster and get the plant back on course faster, but another part of me thinks skip it and let just use what is in the new soil so it can take it's time to send out more roots and the energy will be more equally distributed between roots and flower development. what do you all think?
I'm looking to do it tonight cause right now the soil isn;t too wet or too dry and I figure if I do the sooner the better.
Also the plants are about 40 inches tall from the soil and as you can see from the pic the Blue Widow is quite wide, about 30 inches with tons of tops from being super cropped.
