When to change to bigger pots?

Hey

My plants are 22days (ink Cloning) And the first "top"(beginning state of bud formation) has arrived on one of them

They are 9-12 Cm in height. And the pots are 15cm high and 10cm Wide

1 in = 2.5 cm

When do i change to bigger pots, I can do i now

Thank you

You can do it now if you want, but it isn't necessary if you'd rather wait a little longer.(another week would be fine) One tip....transplant to your final size when you do, so you won't have to do it again. They get stressed/stalled every time you transplant, plus it's a pain in the ass, so it's best to do it once and have it over with.lol

yes up pot and watch them take off and hes right only do it once

will do

Ehh one more question is it better to start off with a Big pot?

Do you mean from the beginning? It's a great idea, as long as you have watering figured out, because when you use a big pot with a tiny plant, it's really easy to overwater. For example....you could add 2 liters of water to a big plant and it would suck it up like crazy, and if you added that same 2 liters to a tiny plant, it would start to drown it.(definitely stress it) That all depends on the soil, too, because if you have enough perlite you wouldn't have to worry about it. There's a few up and downs to it, but if you are up to the challenge, you'll appreciate cutting that transplant out of the middle of the process.

Get them in there final pots now the bigger the better but this will anble you to water with nutes in just once a week no more.The plants will need watering on the same day but 7 days later don't be tempted to water the plants before or you will just end up with premature rootbound plants.I have got into a routine of just looking at my plants twice a week once on about day 5 after watering and then when they need more feed.Has the plants get older they may require a little extra water every week.

sorry to dispell the myth but up potting shouldn't be done once as the plant will get stressed etc its rubbish pot up as many times as you like, shit i've done it at 7 weeks in flower with great results.

pot up when you see roots coming out the holes in the bottom of your pot this way you know the plants utilising all the medium its in and the rootball wont fall apart when you up end it. i generally find it easier to re pot when the medium is dry rather than wet.

repotting at least a couple of times allows the roots to make best use of the medium repotting just before flipping 12/12 allows plenty of space to avoid root binding. tho i repot a week or two before i flip to 12 so the root mass is good and ready to feed the plant in flower. its not the hard n fast way to do it but it works well
