I did some searching and I can't find a decent answer, but I'm trying to figure out if I should bump up my pot size before I get to far into flower.
What would you do is basically what I'm asking. My plants have been vegged between 2.5 and 3 months or so, they are all a little differently aged but they are all pretty close in size, there is roughly a month in between them. So I threw 5 plants into flower as of yesterday afternoon around 2pm having them come back on the same time today giving them 24 hours of darkness and getting them and my veg room sharing as much dark time together to keep the risk of light leaks to a minimum. They are in 3 gallon planting containers, I am really tempted to bump them up to 5 gallons or bigger but I'm not sure the risks are worth the reward.
Is the risk of stressing them by changing the pots and the amount of energy they are going to spend on getting the container filled out, is it worth it? Or are 3 gallon pots enough at this stage? I really don't know but I am more concerned with preventing hermies but I would also like to yield a little more. Also, this is my first grow so take that into account.
