:leaf:I've got a couple pictures attaced of my 16 days of flowering girls and wanted opinions on transplanting out of a 1.2 gallon pot.

Is it to late? Will I gain yield?

Any opinions on total yield from these? :leaf:

Is there a reason you want to transplant? I wouldn't recommend it. They look like they are doing fine and when you transplant them, it'll probably cause alot of stress and thats not something you want the plant trying to get over during flowering

The one in the small pot seems to be less bushy, but just as tall...Thought transplanting may allow the plant to fill out...

I think hes wanting to gain yield, But thats what veg is for, to really strengthen your plant get it very healthy and fat, your already in flowering i wouldnt advise it man.
Just let them flower for another 45-50 days and you'll be very happy

they seem to be strecthing for light, to get them bushier you would probably want to use methods like topping and fimming or supercropping during veg..JMO

normally it is best to transplant before flowering or right after they show the sex. the rule of thumb is 1 gallon for every foot = a healthy girl. your pot can healthily suffice a 1'3" plant. if it grows more than that you will suffer yield because you dont have enough of a root system. you are probably too late to transplant at this point, but keep it in mind for the next time you grow.. you may run into problems farther down in the grow because your plants are root bound but again at this point, not much you can do without being risky imho. you will probably be fine really though.
they do look good for the size pot they are in..

It will be one hell of a hard job trying not to cause stress on your plant now! Dont do it, your plant may suffer stunt growth for about 4 days which is quite a lot for how much they grow a day!

I'd like to see some educated guesses.

If your past two weeks into flowering it isn't going to grow much more - I mean, in the first two weeks is when it stretches a lot, then turns to consentrate on flower growth. If anything, I'd say you'd lose yield if you attempted to transplant now!

BUT...

If you still want to try it, you can minimize stress by cutting a hole in the bottom of your current pot (I'm assuming it's plastic), and simply place it in another bigger pot with the roots of the plant in contact with the soil in the bigger pot (with the medium of your choice). It's not ideal, but I've done it before.
