Bigger Pot ?

[Guest]

Hello and Good day. Two of my nine ladys are in very small like one gall containers. the rest much bigger. They have just started to flower, the hairs are showing. Can I replant the smaller ones in bigger pots or is to late. I tried that one time and I swear it hermed on me!! Please advise

Though I've never repotted after flowering has started, I would not recommend it. The transplant shock could cause it to hermie or stunt the growth of the flowers.
The rule of thumb I use is one foot of growth per gallon container. This is just my opinion. The better the root ball the better the flowers.

Smokin is right but you will choke the plant out if you dont transplant it. If its rootbound go ahead and take the whole root mass out of the smaller pot, dont dig it out, and place it in in the bigger pot with new soil. I did this to 2 of mine in my closet right and they didnt really get shocked at all. Good lukc and let us know what happens.

Just cut the bottom of the pot out (if plastic) and sit it in a bigger pot. It will travel down and plant itself in the bottom pot. This would not do anything as far as shock wise. This is called step potting/without transplanting.

Blatant's technique is a good one. I have transplanted during flowering with no issues. If you are gentle there will be minimal to no shock.

Once I even broke the tip off a flowering plant, I trimmed the bottom and put it in a rockwool block, then back into a soil pot after it rerooted - granted it was much smaller than the others but it survived with no herm tendencies.

I re-pot in flower...with no niticable problems...just dont leave it too late, if ur gonna do it, do it now mate...and give em a bit of superthrive watering for stress.
