    pot size question

    Dude, healthy plants you have there. With 5 Gals those things are going to be monsters. Depending on strain, you'll probably get tight for space later in flower.

    Should be fine transplanting... are you using a fan on the plants to help the stems stay strong?

    pot size question

    If you transplant and switch the photoperiod to 12/12 (if you haven't already) they won't get too big for you. Many strains virtually stop growing upward once the photoperiod is changed.

    And the rule for pot size is a gallon for every month the plant is old.

    According to Jorge Cervantes.... that's the rule.

    Jerry,
    You could cut that light back to 18 per day while vegging... It would have slowed the growth,or that need to transplant out of a five gallon bucket...:thumbsup:

    Jon,I have to disaggree with the stop growing upward. I have Jack Herrer growing now and that sativa is a light HOG! The roots will cease to grow but not stop feeding the foliage.That in turn will keep the plant on an upward life.!:thumbsup:

    Ga Grown!

    Yeah, consider the source. :wtf:
    That's a terrible rule, since plants grow at different rates depending on strain, lighting, stresses, ferts, etc.
    One gallon per foot of main stem allows adequate root mass to support the foliage.
    To transplant a large plant with minimal damage, allow the soil to dry out pretty badly, so it kinda shrinks up a bit. Then you should be able to slide the whole root ball out of the pot without the added weight of the moisture causing it to crumble under its own weight. Those plants can stay in those pots a little longer- wait until you are ready to go to 12/12 and go up to a larger pot, or start flowering now and watch for signs that they are getting root-bound. It is also easier to transplant a slightly root-bound plant, as the roots support each other and the soil during the switch.
