At the stage your plants are at, mine would be well tied down.

But if you have to, I say go ahead. It's not the ideal thing to do, but pot plants are tough.

What length is estimate flower time? Medium? Root shots?

There are ways to take more natural looking pictures under HPS, poke around with a search if you're interested.

In my own experience up potting in flower, roots fail to enter new medium sufficient to match water use of main rootball but it really depends on when you flowered, total length, medium bulk density and other factors.

I would transplant one or 2, to see what happens. To compare the root balls after flowering. Should be interesting.

Generally it's time-consuming & your time is valuable.

They look good.

I would go "steady on the keel".


OK maybe I'm really stoned ... is managing a garden sort of like piloting a ship ?

I am of the opinion that right around the same time as when the stretch phase is over as when the roots extending into the medium is also over.
Depending on the strain but most strains stretch for the first 2.5-3 weeks.
So at 3 weeks I think you would see nothing good come from a transplant.
Stress at this stage could turn the ladies.

Yeah, those buckets look big enough to finish in. I guess I'm flip-flopping, but I do think your best bet would be to ride it out.

Only if you are growing "OG", St. Phatty.
 
I would be interested to know WHY you want to transplant them.....

The way the roots look when i pull em from the pots, they looked the same all the time i transplanted plus some of em were telling me it was time to transplant thats how i knew earlier in the grow.

This is my NL in a 2 gal pot.


This is a freebie Sativa from Nirvana also in a 2 gal pot.

I tried a few searches on the topic about HPS lights in pics an cant find anything, so if u can point me in a direction that would be much appreciated. The search in these forums an i never get along no idea why lookin stuff up using Google works for me im actually gonna try. Thanks!
