When is it "time" to Transplant?

[poker2]

How do you know it is a good time to transplant?
What signs do you look for?
I have transplanted onces since seedling. Plant is 5 weeks in veg in a medium sized plant and is unsexed. How do I know when I should or should I even be transplanting again in the future? Although I don't think I need to transplant right now:jointsmile:

hi poker m8
i wait untill leaves start to droop for no reason when the leaves wont lift even in good light its time
other ppls have other ways of telling even if you just look at it and think its getting to big for this pot

I'm getting some yellowing of the lower leaves, and i'm pretty sure they are pot-bound, could those be related? I mean, does nutrient lockout occur when plants get pot-bound?

Being a pot grower (sic) for a a long time, I feel that there are signals you want to watch for.

Drooping leaves and yellowing and lockout are a late sign, but they do tell you it is time.

Another way, is over time you will note how much water the pot/plant needs. I seem to water every other to every 3rd day. Well when that pot uses the same amount of water in 24 hours....that is the signal to repot. IT seems to be a sudden change in my garden
