Hi,

I have a plant vegging on a 3 gal pot and its height is almost as the height of the pot. The plant is 4 weeks on veg and I want to switch it to flowering this week.

Do the roots grow during the flowering stage? The roots at the moment cannot be seen from underneath the pot.

Can I transplant it during the flowering stage?

Yes the plant will still produce roots up till about week 5 then it tends to slow down during flowering,if the roots can not be seen through the bottom of the pot that the plant is in now is a good sign that watering has been done right.Most new grower's have premature root bound plants due too over watering,i persanaly would wait till the roots are showing through the bottom of the tub there in now.Let the plants dry out just before you are gonna transplant this will make it far more easy to get the plant out of its pot and into the new one..............................tyke......................................

I transplanted one about 10 days into flowering, it just decided to get larger than the rest, it went well and is now in vigorous flowering.

Roots are constantly growing and dying. As tyke said, this process generally starts to slow down mid flowering. I always like to give the plants some b1 or other rooting vitamin (super thrive) when transplanting to help ameliorate shock. This is especially important during flowering.

Yeah, it can be crazy how much of a difference it makes. Another thing ive noticed personally is my plants in smartpots beat the hell out of their sisters who are grown in grow bags or plastic pots. I was really skeptical at first that trying/using them would make a difference but they really shocked me on how they not only lived up to the hype, they actually surpassed it(imo).
They are a bit expensive, on average 1 of them costs the same as 10 grow bags or plastic pots.

You talking about self pruning pots? Or are you the one that was pimping those fiber pots in another thread?

It could in some cases, but sometimes not transplanting is worse, in my case it would have been worse not to. Every situation is different though.

Yeah, i think you guys are talking about what i am, name brand is smartpots but i just refer to all fiber/air pruning pots as smartpots out of habit. I was highly skeptical as well when i first saw the smart pots/air pruning pots and their prices and that it was better than normal ones and i was blown away. If i wasnt extremely impressed by them after being so skeptical i dont think i wouldnt stress how much i like em. they dry out alot quicker as well, something i really liked.

huh!!! "if the roots can not be seen through the bottom of the pot that the plant is in now is a good sign that watering has been done right.Most new grower's have premature root bound plants due too over watering,i persanaly would wait till the roots are showing through the bottom of the tub there in now" this makes no sense.... ya dont get rootbound plants from over watering. they get root bound cuz the roots are growing nice and fastt and at this point u just transplant.

so dont say shit if u dont know what ur talking about

A smart pot starts by checking the law in your country... In canada, You better have 3x20 galons and make trees... Harper is a retard, so 1-3 plants is a ticket, jail if you are recidivist. 4-25 is 5-10 years or some shit..

Smart pots work great! A smart pot is a pot made of fabric. They allow oxygen to get to the roots better than a plastic bag or a plastic pot.

Super thrive??? During bud??? Don't ever give advice again.
Never use super thrive within two weeks of going into bud or while in bud. A nute and chelate they use stays in the bud and will give you a headache when smoked. Used in last month of bud it will be migraine bad.

Want to get even better results. And higher yields? There is a pot superior to cloth grow bags. Even better root control and when grown right, top control. This is as big a difference as you saw with cloth over plastic.

Let's hear it canna. Also I've never seen cloth over plastic smartpots. What would be the point of a fabric pot if it's lined with plastic?
