Potting Up???

[stone_edd]

Hi all..

Just wanted a little advice regarding potting up.

I'm just about to re-pot my 5 sweet tooth 4ibl, they're currently in 6 llitre pots and are way to big for them (in my opinion). The plants are in the first 3 days of 12/12, so should i re-pot into 11litres or go for a 18 litre (5 gal) pot.
The soil I'm using is Jamie Oliver (yes the chef off the tv) grow bags. Thanks. This picture was taken about 10 days ago and they're larger now!!!

5g all the way. Can't hurt. What is there to lose by going larger?

Wont repoting during flowering stress the plant?

It will slow the plants down. 6L is what?.. just under 2 g, roughly. 5 g wont hurt but I,m not sure if the plant will produce enough roots, now that its in flower, to utilize all that space. Personally, I'd just double the pot volume if youre rootbound, which is probably the case. Theres only 6+/- weeks to go so I wouldnt encourage the plant to do much of anything outside of making more bud.

I'd put it in a bigger pot. I don't believe transplants stress plants.

I've repotted in flower before... plants loved it... would have been better to do sooner.. but better late than never.

Yeah, no problem, you'd be surprised at how much nothing happens when you up pot.I've been stacking my pots to some extremes lately, some have even three, this reduces any shock the plant might have at all but I do wierd things on occaision...

it is optimal to pot up during a waning moon in scorpio, pisces, or cancer

Thanks for all the suggestions definitely going to re-pot into a 5 gal (they should be here wednesday) pot, I think the teeth will be grateful!

Peace

Re-potted the teeth into 5 gal containers this evening and they're looking happier already.

Sounds good man, the rootspace will certainly be only beneficial for them

Much love and look forward to seeing some flowering pics!
