So i am growing this plant in a 2.5 gallon pot and the leaves are getting pretty big with a nice stem growing, but i am scared if i let this plant veg another month it may get too big for my grow tent 48×48×80. I want to know if i should flower soon or keep vegging? 20150719_201954.jpg 20150719_202018.jpg
Also wondering can i stick out the rest of this grow in 2.5 gallon pot or should i transplant in bigger pot?

The time to bloom is kinda a personal thing. Most people bloom after 4 weeks of veg, I like 5, some 3, some 6. In my opinion it really depends on the plant and the environment. In a room without great lighting, I would go 5 weeks. A room with a killer environment, you could let them go at 3 weeks, counting on the plant growing 3x the height from where you let it go at. That plant looks damn close to 4 weeks., if not more. I would let it go if it is. Good lighting imperative now. Nice plant, by the way. Good job

As a rule of thumb, you need 1 gallon of area in a pot for each month of growth, therefore, 3 gal for a 90 day plant, which pot is when grown indoors. I have never heard of a 2.5 gallon pot, you probably have 3 gal. I have grown all my pot indoors in 3 gal pots, no need for larger.

Again, lighting and strain are extremely important as to how high a plant will grow. LED not so tall, but dense and wide, and HID, they will go after the light. If you are growing Indicas your height will not be an issue, but the area will be. 3 is too many plants in my opion for a tent that size.
