Transplant question

Just a quick noob question. I made the mistake of keeping my plants in 3 small 1 gallon pots. They are in the first week of flowering and I'm pretty sure they are root bound. I know it will stress them to move them into something bigger. But overall will it not be better to move them now if I'm real careful or should I just leave them where they are at?

It's worth trying, if you ask me.

This being my first grow and all just wanted to check. But I'm thinking if I'm careful it might just delay the plants by a week or so. I now have two out of three that are females on day 7 of flowering so I would hate to kill them doing it

You can do it, be careful and give them an extra week.

Well the transplant is done and they all seem happier about it. And now I've got my 4 seedlings in the old 1 gal pots and my flowering plants in the new pots. Thanks for the advice

also not sure f you know this but an easy low stress way to transfer is to flood the soil with 2 times the amount of water so 2 gallons for a 1 gallon pot then just place the stem inbetween your finger with your hand on the dirt and turn the plant upsidedown it should come right out in the exact shape or the pot much like spam in a can ( i know gross refference ) i know you already transfered but for future refrence

Some of us actually like Spam.

Thats kind of what I did, the soil was dry though. I'll keep the watering trick in mind for next time thanks

any time looking good to btw keep it up, you should also look into possibly topping one or LST ( low stress training ) to let it bush out but thats personal preference

All ready got ya covered there. Here are two pics of the one plant I topped and I was thinking about LST with my taller plant if "it" turns out to be a girl. They are starting week two of flowering, day 9 today and one im 100% that its female and the second is looking a lot like the female did before her hairs started showing and the third looks like well an It lol. I've heard that males tend to show faster than females so I'm hoping I got all 3 girls here only time will tell.
