Transplant after 12/12 Question

[HerbPuffer242]

Is it bad to transplant into a bigger pot (or at least take out and add more soil.) after the plants have shown sex?? See they are in 2 1/2 gallon bucks right now,..but only a little over half full with soil. So the plants are kinda sitting down in the bucket but now a couple inches commin out. Also using LST.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Full transplant after 12/12 can stress the plant enough to cause sex problems during flowering...

How far into flower are you. If you transplant into bigger pots just use all the dirt the plant was in originally and there should not be a big shock problem if any at all. Temperature swings like excessive heat will cause more problems then just a transplant. It is a pretty hearty plant; after all it is a weed. Of all the things that cause a plant to hemi transplanting is not in the top 10 of reasons to hemi.

You think i should just leave them in the buckets that they are in?? Will that be enough? Not into flower yet,..but in a week or two i will jump them to 12/12. I have them on 24 hours of light right now. growing nice,..filling out nice.

Transplant now just make sure you use the dirt they are in now. That way the root ball is not disturbed as much and there is less chance of shock.
