Flipping to flower question for a beginner

Hi people. I’m about to flip my photo plants to flower and I want to put them in bigger pots can I do this at the same time as flipping them or should I wait a week?

Personally I would wait. And make your first feeding after you flip a full veg feed. It will need it.

Cheers mate. Also I’m using plant magic old timers organic soil. After the transplant should I carry on with feeding nutrients or does the soil have enough nutrients inside to feed the plants for a bit

I’m not familiar with that soil. Have you been feeding supplemental feedings?

Yes I have but not at start off grow as was told for two weeks the soil will feed the plants as it’s organic

if they are healthy and going into the same batch of soil used on start up : 100% no problem

Some would argue the stress of the transplant would delay the process ; that the time added is because the plant needs to "heal" and "adjust"

My experience says thats not always the case.

If the plants are healthy and you transplant correctly-without any shock its not a problem. If there is unhealthy roots or you shock them, you should wait a week.

Shock is the key, AND it can happen with even experienced growers if you are accidentally rough with the dirt & root mass when transplanting. I like to leave at least a week after I up pot to flip. I like them settled in their new soil all comfy in their beds.

Always best to wait a week if you can.

If your gonna transplant veg them out for like a week or 2 before flipping, your roots grow double in the first 2 weeks of flower during your stretch, but if you go into a pot to big then the plant might waste to much time growing new roots than I’d does focusing on producing flowers,
