i wouln't. don't take the chance of breaking your girl in half or hurting her in any way. nex time just learn and get bigger pots. im sure you would be really pisstoff if you fucked her up this far into flower. good luck

I would HIGHLY recommend against it... stress like that during the flowering stages could stunt growth... I would let them stay root bound and finish, unless you can be the most careful greenthumb in the world...

yes.. she will live out the rest of her life, but your plant may start stretching towards the end, the more rootbound it gets... just use a bigger container next time..

thnks .. il go and do tht now thn !! jus wonderin wot is this +reps thing
if youlook to the right in your post or any one elses post you will see a blue like flower inbetween the post# and a orange triangle. that blue is what you click on in the post you want to give adaboy, or adagirl points. fill up the pot with soil that you are going to put the other poy in.:bigjoint:

Don't expect much if any more root or plant growth if you do transplant. Once a flowering plant finishes it's stretch, root development comes to a near halt. Transplanting to a bigger pot won't hurt and can help with nute uptake, also lets you be more flexible with watering.

So I went with what the guy before me said. Although it is a bit of a hassle, you can do it. I did, and not one leaf wilted on any of my plants. Although cutting the bottom out of the pot that your plant is in and splicing it into a larger one is probably more practical. I went ahead and did a full transplant Just to prove the know it alls wrong. I really dislike the people who say something shouldn't be done, when they know damn well they have never tried it themselves, they just heard that you shouldn't do it from someone else who has never tried it. If you can cut a piece of a plant off and stick it in a grow media and get a clone then why the hell can't you transplant a damn plant. JFC people get off your high horses. Another thing I am doing is growing in a trash can with CFL's just to see if it can produce some quality stuff. Why? because all the know it alls say it doesn't work. or it doesn't produce the way an hps does. Well I can read every post I want but still won't really know until I test it all myself. I do grow with hps primarily, but all this good stuff that we buy, read about, and smoke was all an experiment in the beginning Right!
