Hey BB,
I would not personally recommend repotting during flowering. It can be stressful to the plant.
I repot my girls into their permanent homes a week before starting 12/12, to give them time to adjust.
But that's just me.

i havent never heard of repotting a plant to give it stress
how could it cause stress it, its not like ya are messing with it cutting bits off it and that
all you are doing is giving it a bit more room to breath and spread out
do what ya have to do bob
i think if you do end up repotting i think this will be the outcome
b} help grow bigger buds and a taller plant
cheers all

Okey dokey. You must be right.

repotting will cuz stress but not that much . if u think ur getting root bound then go ahead and repot . i am a firm believer in that the size of the root ball determines the amount of bud u get .so if ur giving them more room to grow it can't do that much harm .

sorry if i struck a nerve stinky but i was just expressing my opinion on it
and as i say i havent heard of repotting to cause stress to a plant yeah i might be a first time grower in my bedroom closet but that dosent mean i havent grown other plants befour, so i do know what im talking about
well there isent any proof on it so at the end of the day both of us could be wrong
hey stinky sorry if my last post seemed to be a dig aimed at you
i dident mean it to come across like that
cheers all

hmm... still not too sure :P we got 2 yes. and 1 no. Anyone else?

Im not positive im root bound. Actually I dont know how to tell. gonna "search" for that one now.

I HAVE to water each day. They get dry so quick.
I was not sure if they would get much taller with larger pots because I thought they stop growing taller in 3-4th week of flower. new to this all, so not too sure.

Growth has slowed a bit also. Might be due to my Late RE=LST. {they were too tall}

Thx for the reponses. plz keep em comming.

p.s. the plants are the ones in my log below in my sig.

hey bob just wanted to ask u why did u repot the plants were the pots that small?????.....im a real noob with almost no experience but from my research and the help of good ppl around this and other foruns i recon the more u leave ur babies alone the better..
Peace & Pot

[bob bobbinson]

hey OMEGAVERMELHO.

more room for roots = more plant.
moving plant to bigger container = more of ur plant to smoke

But I did not repot them yet. thats why im posting this :}
Im not sure at this particular stage of growth if repoting will make a large enough difference to warrent doing it.

A quick check is to pick up the pot, pot and all (ha ha) and have a quick look at the drain holes. If you see a bunch of roots sticking out, that's a good indication it's appropriate to re-pot your pot.
