question about when to flower under these conditions

First grow and things are going ooohh so well. However, I'm afraid I waited too long to flower. I'm using 3 gallon pots and my plants are roughly 18" (almost 2 mo into veg). I just started the scrog and wanted to give them another week so I could work them into the nets, but Now I'm thinking I should just flower, as I'm afraid 3 gallons is going to be too small to make it all the way to harvest. Should I:


1. Transplant them into a 5 gallon pot and wait it out a couple of more weeks for them to adjust before flower or

2. Can I go ahead and flower them?

I would rather not re-pot them, but I don't want to sacrifice quality or quantity here, so I want to do it right. It's a sativa dominant hybrid. No other conditions are a factor for this grow (plenty of height, light and resources).

Thanks for any advice you can give me!

You can flower them in 3gal pots if you do not plan to train them on a trellis (SCROG net). However if a nice yield is your aim you should transplant to larger pots -say 5g or larger- I prefer 7g myself but it really all depends upon your available growing space. A long veg is required for SCROG training but your patience may be rewarded by a larger yield.

if time isnt a factor, then repot and veg another month or so. If time IS a factor, turn them to flower and tie them bitches up
