If you watered recently let the dirt dry out a lil bit
This will hep the dirt and roots stay in tact while transplanting

I wasn’t going to transplant due to all the negative info I’ve read. I suppose it was going to stress in that pot anyway.

Yea if the pot was not so small I would say leave it but it seems if you do not it may lead to issues in growth later.

I wish I’d know before now. It’s my first grow since the gorilla days 1980.
I am with you I do not like transplanting especially on bigger plants
I transplanted a 10” tall super skunk from a 5 gallon pot to a 15 gallon pot and did the same on my 10” tall super silver haze and it went ROUGH!! Thought I was gonna loose em both thats how rough it was
Well here they are now super happy

Ill chance it.
No not at all like I said mine were very well established in thier 5 gallon pots and man it was rough
Last year I had one of my burlap sacks bust out the bottom and my plant was 2’ tall and fell right through the bottom picked her back up put her back in the dirt and she was fine. It was one of my Northern Lights autos

Thanks. Got got a five gallon bucket. Ill still plenty of drain holes and do it later. Does it matter when? I thought maybe when hit hits dark cycle. Maybe dosnt matter
@Mparham if you are looking to keep her small, you can keep her in a small pot and she won’t get too big. If height is an issue, you can always do training, you can still have. Very wide plant. For transplanting, take your existing pot, and place into your new pot, fill with soil. You’ll have a mold to place the transplant into when dumping out of the old pot.

@Mparham cloth pot is best, but a 5 gallon bucket will work if it’s all you have. Be sure there are LOTS Of holes. Light or dark doesn’t matter.

The bigger the better man. I just don’t want to set her back. She’s had a easy life so far. Ill know next time.

I just transplanted her and watered. I don’t think I’ll look at her until the light cycle starts tomorrow. It went well and fast. I would have wanted out too after seeing that it was fully bound up. Feeling good about it.

How much volume do you think I’ll need when watering? No clue here.
@Mparham this amount will vary based on your environmental conditions, lighting and temps. You’ll typically give more water during flowering.
Best rule of thumb is to stick you finger in about an inch, if it’s dry water. Or if you see signs of wilt. I usually water every other day, sometimes more, sometimes less.
