Depends on how experienced you are and what you plan to feed. If I were doing organics, I'd use the bigger pots. Also depends on strain. Fast blooming indicas don't need as big of container as a late blooming monster sativa.Quick question, no clue on strain but was wondering if a 2 gallon pot will suffice to flower in? Plants are around 10-14" was going to start flower on june first when I take my smaller plants out. Should I up them to 5 gallon to flower in?
Sounds like you just answered your own question. Leave them in 2 gallon pots and feed bottles. gl and happygrowinWhat I figured, that it depended on strain. This is my first grow but I'm pretty confident in being tasked with feeding more due to less soil retention. Also I have a good ppm and ph tester.Just didnt know if I transplant what time frame till I can flip lights. Starting to harden off younger plants for outdoor and want to switch lights by june 1st.
June 1 switch - you have plenty of time to veg and fill the new pot.Kk figured 5 gallon be easier just didnt know if transplanting is alright todo right before flowering?
I finish in 3 gallon pots. I find 5 gallon way too big and too heavy, Hard to get water timing right, 3 gallon pots take 1 gal liquid ( water or feed) and takes about 3-4 days to dry. 5 gallon takes 2 gallons to feed or water and 5 days or more to dry ( for me) under my 1000w hps 83-85f @ 45%Kk figured 5 gallon be easier just didnt know if transplanting is alright todo right before flowering?

Just seen this, thanks!June 1 switch - you have plenty of time to veg and fill the new pot.
If you're gentle with your girls in transplanting there's no reason they should receive much shock. All they should know is they have room to grow.What I figured, that it depended on strain.

yes if you're gentle with them. Knock them around drop them or grab the roots with dirty hands or damage them and 2 weeks would be cutting it close. Do it carefully and it's plenty of time.@PipeCarver
Nice plants, I'd be happier with 3 gallon more pots in my room!! Going to get fabric pots from here on out. Is 2 weeks enough time before switching to 12/12?
@Beachwalker
I am using soil and perlite, dr earth is brand.
3 gal. Should work, maybe 5's depending how long you veg them, but I wouldn't use 2 gallon size for soil, hope this helps!@PipeCarver

Maybe 5 gal next time, they are short for how long they been going. Had a rough start but got it worked out.3 gal. Should work, maybe 5's depending how long you veg them, but I wouldn't use 2 gallon size for soil, hope this helps!

A waste of water and nutes for small plants in large pots.
