Hey guys!! This is my first grow and I need some advice
I have this small plant, about a 16” tall. Growing outdoors from clone in early August. Started flowering (showing pistils) on the 23rd.
Ffof in 1 or 2 gal pot
Water with tap water although it’s been raining so I haven’t needed to recently. I’ve been keeping it under a glass table when it rains for extended periods.
I’m just wondering if I should pot it up into a 3 gallon? I just potted up my indoor plant and I’m worried the outdoor one my be rootbound. The roots are starting to come out of 4/5 of the holes
Any other advice for outdoor coming into rainy season in the northwest would be appreciated too!

Fingers crossed for you buddy. Northwest is that UK??
US of A good friend (unfortunately). Trying to get this down so I don’t have to buy weed ever again :)
I don’t really approve of how big money the cannabis market has become. Big banker types getting on board and leaving less and less room for the small guys. It’s also been increasing the danger of the black market and will continue to until it is federally legalized. People will do anything for a buck..

Your gonna want to transplant one more time before you flower if this is the one in the when to flower question.
I hate smart pots because they dry out to quick and transplants suck.
Another month in that, then flower? It's gonna need watered a whole lot.
My transplant rule.
Final flowering size pot should be transplanted 2 weeks before flower....in a perfect world.
I would take clones for my strain hunting at this point....make sure they root.
Let plant recover for the two weeks and flip.
In reality any transplant you can do to get it out of a root locked pot will always benefit you More than leaving it...up to about the stretch finish.
But that is a terrible time to do it.and you wouldn't want that. Always aim for the best case....but doing nothing is the worst thing you can do....with root lock/ to small of a pot.

Cool I'm UK and it's still illegal here tho a couple of plants hardly gonna get me locked up. I grow it purely to save money and so I don't have to associate with dealers who I'm old enough be father to

Thanks man!! Really appreciate it :)
I have two plants for this grow, trying to establish which I like more. The outdoor one is the star of this thread and IS flowering!
I also have one indoor, and that’s the one I was wondering WHEN to flower! :)
