Am I overdue for a transplant?

Okay tomorrow will make week 3 since I fist started growing white widow den seeds first two weeks I had the in tiny pots maybe 1-1/2x1” pots they are currently in 6x6 clay pots tomorrow makes a week they’ve been in there. Now they looking bushy…

like growing leafs close together wondering should I just go head and put them in 5 or ten gal pots?and should the leafs feel dry?

Most folks wait till the leaves fill the area of the pot before up potting.
That way the roots have matched the canopy.
Clay also holds a lot of excess moisture. Could cause over wet issues.

Maybe raise your light a bit. And Just double check your rh.
Should be in higher 70s-lower 80s at this stage. :wink::+1::v:
Looks good tho @Ad . :grin:

Definitely looking good. I would personally transplant them now though to maintain that speedy root growth. Agree with @Oldguy if the leaves are feeling sorta dry you should raise the lights a bit

That old man up there ^^^^^^ is spot on. Wait a bit till the top canopy is even with the sides of the clay pot. Prolly another week or 2.
Back to what @Oldguy commented on is that light placement. It’s most likely the pic but it looks awfully close. Be gentle with them little ladies, they look great btw. Absolutely spreading their wings and soakiing it up.
Are you gonna start a grow journal, tag me if ya do, I’m gonna drop some WW seeds next go. OH …lol I’m baked but I was gonna say about the 5 gallon containers is think about size difference and what light and space ya got cause then 10 gal pots is BIG… lol😎

Clay pots suck for anything that’s not a succulent. As for time to transplant… in simple terms watering cycles should let you know when it’s time. If you find that instead of watering every other day you now have to water every day… it’s time to transplant. When you do transplant wait till then plants dry out the rootball will stay together much better than after watering.

Have you given any thought to topping? That light looks awfully close, a blurple under a foot is pretty hot!

I just noticed the dog cage… INGENIOUS…I like it :+1::sunglasses:
Can you take the bottom (or top) off and raise or lower the cage?

@LoCoRock I’m going to top Tuesday when my tent n fabric bags come in on…they are growing so fast I’ve ran out Of things to put on top of the cage to raise it higher it’s definitely time one of kinda drooping I figure it was because it’s outgrow the pot it’s in now

@LoCoRock I’m switching to foxfarm ocean forest potting soil I didn’t know miracle gro was a big no no. Down to the water I use i have to switch up I just don’t want to put them in a big shock switching everything at once.

Aren’t you the one who said you’ve had some successful grows with MG? Regardless ffof is good stuff. That’s what I’m currently in, well with a little bit of amendments. I’m definitely gonna try the coco/perlite thing come March April after this next group going in is finished.

No sir definitely not me lol I’ve grow fruits and veggies with MG an had successful turn outs but not herbs.
