5 Days into Flowering, I need to repot, can I repot?

[Bonsaiguy]

Hey guys, this will be my 3rd flowering I’ve done in the past year. I have 7 plants going, which 4 are mine. The 4 are healthy, strong, female, and in 3gal pots. The other 3 were given to me from a friend who gave up because he didn’t want to do his research and kept running into problems. Mostly P.H. and over feeding. He asked me if I wanted them because he knows I have a indoor grow room for tropical Bonsai and my Cannabis plants. When I took them they weren’t doing so great. Corrected the P.H. and some TLC they bounced back. The 2 grow tents I have are 5 days into flowering and so are the plants I saved, but the problem is I didn’t think about their pot size when switching over. I was just focusing on their health and over looked it. They are in 1.5gal pots, little under 2ft tall, and like I said 5days into flowering. I know in a 1.5gal pot yields will be small. All plants are in Coco/perlite.

*Can I just repot them now since so soon into flowering?
*Anything I should do different from how I repot in Veg?
*Since flowering just started will the plants still Benefit from a bigger pot, will they still grow enough roots in time before the plants focus all their energy on buds?

yes you can re-pot,
just re-pot as normal mate

roots do grow in flower, it's best to do it earlier - but better late than never

Thanks for getting back to me so quick. Would a 1.5gal pot they’re in now be ok to plant into a 3gal or is that to big for the small window it has? Something like a 2gal or 2.5 be better? I would also hate to waste the coco if the plants won’t really use all the space up. Thanks again

My roots grew up till week 4/5 of flower and that's only cause they hit air, chances are the roots sprouted more in the coco. So potting up isn't a bad thing.

roots grow as long as the plant is alive and growing,
the smaller the pot the more it needs water, so again your choice

i re-pot right before i flower, 1 weeks later the pot has roots poking out the bottom,

Need to do asap if repot is needed

There is some roots poking out the bottom, but I’m sure it’s not root bound because the plant isn’t stiff in the soil. It can be wiggles a bit and can tell it’s not root bound. The reason for doing this is to get bigger yields also I believe the plant will need it from how big it is. I know I won’t get to much bud if it’s in a 1.gal. If you can any advice on how to get a lot of bud from a plant in a smaller pot? It has been already trained with multiple tops.
