My plants are in one gallon pots and that seemed fine when I put them into flower at about 8 inchs tall, but 3 weeks later and there 2 foot tall.

I've read up on transplanting and beleive I could do it carfully without causing too much stress. I just wanted to know if I really need to or not.

Basically does bigger pot mean BIGGER yeild???

Plus the plants are mainly sativa so I know I've got another good 8 or 9 weeks left!

bigger pot... more room for the plant to grow roots. bigger pot = bigger plant.

but bigger yield.. iduno bout that, it all depends how your set up.
 
For flowering, you should definately upgrade to at least a 3 gallon pot. I've been told that you should have a gallon per each foot of growth. 3foot plant= 3 gallon pot. This by no means is written in stone, but its a good reference to start.
 
Fdd if you can get a plant that big from a small pot (in comparison to the plant) Then do you think it's best to leave my plants in the pots there already in???
 
i just cloned a plant that had to be 3 months old. its about 20 inches now in a small pot at what point should i upgrade to a bigger pot. also how long b4 i add nutes and get it on a light cycle cuz right now it just chills under a dom with no lamp 24hrs a day for about a week now.
 
For the OP, may I ask WHY you started veg at 8" on your sativas to begin with? Usually that's only done when people have small lights or space limitations and in either case there's no point in going to bigger pot now, they've gone from 8" to 2' and are in flower so they're about as big as they'll get now.

And MikeyC you're supposed to start your own thread to ask unrelated questions like that, but since it's your first post I'll try to answer. First what is a dom it chills under with no lamp? Do you mean a skylight? You need a light... You only transplant when the roots have fully utilized the space in the existing pot and it's rootbound, or in preparation for flowering when you already know it will end up rootbound. You can't tell us it's in a small pot, that means nothing as everyone has different interpretations of small.

Nice trees fdd2blk

1 gallon per foot doesn't always apply, there are so many styles of growing and different ways plants grow indicas vs sativas that's it's just not that easy. You could have a 6'tall spindly sativa that doesn't even need more than a gallon or you could have a 4' tall indica that needs a few times that space.
 
I put them into flower at 8 inches because I do have height and light restrictions. I manged to over come the height issue though with LST. Never dreamed my plants would end up this big and bushy. I know the plants are probably as big as there going to get. I know bigger pot = bigger plant. I just wandered if bigger pot = greater yeild and bigger bud.
