Transplanting during first weeks of Flowering?

Do to space issues i'm forced to transplant a female flower into a bigger pot. i only have bagseed so i don't know which one's are females and which one's are males. The reason i'm asking is, i won't have enough space to have a couple of big pots, rather one big pot reserved for the female. so would it effect my plant, possibly making it a hermie, if i transplanted right when it starts showing signs of a female? other than that what would be other dangers?

I would wait until they show the first signs of being female/male destroy the males. Clone the females, THEN transplant the female(only if you absolutely HAVE to).

Reason why I wouldn't transplant into something smaller is because during the flowering phase they are very prone to stress. You have to destroy root systems to knock off excess dirt to get it into something smaller. I don't see any pictures so I couldn't tell you exactly the odd of it dying. If the plant is taller then the pot the chances of it dying are even higher(if it doesn't die it will abort making your nugs and they'll just dry up and fall off, causing your plant to reveg).

If you HAVE to transplant, I would reccomend doing it outside next to your water hose. Pull the entire root system and dirt out in one peice(very very gently), place it in the grass and gently hose down the bottom of the rootball to the size of your smaller pot. I wouldn't try breaking it up with my hands, the hose is the only way I would go about transplanting into something smaller.

You could grow in a 3 gallon pot till you know the sex.
Then once you know the sex you can put'em in 5 gallons.
Or flip'em back into veg if it's a female and clone'em.
Did you top your plants a week or two before flipping the lights?
This gives you either more clones or more colas~:lol:
No it won't make'em Hermies by transplanting~:lol:

I have successfully transplanted halfway through flowering, though I don't recommend it. It was in my early learning days and I thought I wouldn't need to. Lesson learned. Since then I try to plan better, up against the wall, do what you need to do.

I have never seen a transplant cause a hermie. Usually it is something else like genetics, heat stress or light leaks.
