Are my plants already budding?

[ptk2k]

first grow outdoors, i’ve grown inside more than a few times so i always have had control over when they flower- never really thought i’d find myself guessing if they’re budding or not i guess i’m just curious because i have 5/8 ladies that i still need to dig holes for, it’s taking me way longer than i anticipated. if they are starting to flower, is it bad to transplant them during the first 1-3 weeks of budding? any info is appreciated

Outdoor they have a life of their own for sure

Transplant isn't ideal, but to me, too small of pot is worse

so looking at the previous pictures, do you think they’re are budding already? this is the third of the eight that went in today- a slightly smaller one than the rest- they’ve all been in 5 gal pots and sprouted beginning of april so i think putting them in the ground would help.

Looks like the start of pre flowers , yes

You only need a 12-14" deep hole...roots prefer to grow outward, not downward.

it’s really not that deep, maybe 16” at most. i guess the photo just looks like it’s deeper rather than wider.

Big fabric pots might be easier....

sure it’d be easier but i need to get them in the ground so they don’t reach over my fence

True...but top pruning seems like easier work on the back...

Looks like pre flower my outdoor girls bout same as yours I'm in Seattle area. If I was you pot them up and let them do there thing.

true, i could probably top them all once again.. i’m gonna do my best to get the rest of the holes dug & soil purchased. i would bend them all again but they’ve been bent so much, every time i try to bend them more a branch or two bend up breaking :/

I love the fact that you didn't fuck around with your holes.

And fabric pots can be moved into shelter, if needed.
