When to transplant ??????

[gmcjr]

Hey guys , Just wondering if I should transplant my kids?? They are 5wks. old from seed , in 4" by 4" nursery pots with jiffy organic seedling mix with a little gauno mixed in under 8 t5s . Sizes range from 5" to 12" !! I just dont want to stress them out , they're drinking pretty good and noticed roots in the drain holes . Is it time ????? Thanks for any suggestions .. G

Yes.
Once I see root's at the hole's I transplant.
It depends what kind of plant you are growing.
Slower growing plant's like indicas I like too let rootbound a bit.
Once the roots start to get bound it produce's plant growth.
So if you keep transplanting before the roots hit the side's
Then you're plant will stay short while growing lot's of root's.
I use that method when growing sativas or any fast growing plant.
My Gdp is a slow grower. So I let her rootbound and grow then transplant and start again.
IMO
