    Default Answered: Transplanted to pots too big

    So im growing a couple plants most i transplanted from a plastic cup to 1 gallon pots and in a week they will be ready to go to 5 gallon, they look big and healthy. 2 of them i transplanted straight to 5 gallon and they are growing extremely slow even though they are growing. Should i transplant them back to 1 gallon and then wait till they grow more to put them back in the 5 gallon or should i just leave them?

    Thank you!

    That isn't A problem, once they are all stretch, you can just put the short one's on something to bring them even with the others, if it is needed. JMO"

    Personally I would leave them
    Transplanting can shock and take even more time
    Let them settle into their new pots buddy
    It happens sometimes slows them a little but they will be fine

    With the others try and wait a little longer so you have built a nice root mass for the larger pot.
    Potting them on now if you have to will still be fine but be prepared for them to slow down.
    Won't take long for them to pick back up tho

    Ok i will leave them and see how it goes. The only thing im worried about is the difference between them its soo huge and im scared that when i need to flip the bigger ones into flower the others will be too small and ruin them i dont have anywhere else to put them. I posted the pictures so u see the difference

    Definitely a learning curve for me too im a noob as well its my first grow.

    But the plants im growing are photoperiod plants. I have heard from countless people that for Autoflower plants you should put them directly in their final pots, bc they do bad with transplanting. But more experienced growers will be able to speak better than I about this.
