Id transplant when you start to have to soak the soil so much that you gotta water everyday you can extend this a little bit you want to that away you know you have plenty of roots. When you go to transplant water your seedling first and then wait acouple of hrs to pull her out the cup she will come out with ease..
Now what i would do is ph water to 6.5 soak your soil in the new pot move around with your hands to mix in water pretty good into the soil till it is pretty wet this way you can move the soil and make a hole for the transplanted cup shape into your new soil so the new soil is not falling into the hole your trying to put it in and plus you wont have to water after your transplant and soak the roots im sure it doesnt matter just thats what i would do and that away you know your soil is wet consistently threw out the pot and get it pretty wet then do like your doing wait for it to dry before watering again

Emilya- If my soil is 7+ but under 8 and the plants are growing fine- am i to assume they like the high ph thus feed them at 7-ish ph or feed them in 6-ish as required by science?
If They indeed are missing nutes at a higher ph , how to amend the soil (Ffsalamander) at week 6-10 has been stuck at the high ph?
thanks
also i read your clinical watering item and love the idea!

Ok as soon as where you top it grows out a lil bit id flip them girls into flower if you want and you put your seedlings under some cfls inside the house if youd like if not youll have to keep your older grow into veg until the seedlings now
Are atleast 5 weeks into veg the first 2 weeks i dont count as veg like we talked about earlier in the thread so it be 7 weeks in total its possible but youd have to transplant the first girls and do some lst soon bc there gonna stretch big time into flowering so its up to you you think about what you wanna do and we will go from there take your time on it and just think about it no rush

what makes you think your soil is 7+ or 8? Always water at the bottom of the range and let the soil take the pH up. Amending soil during a grow is super hard to do right, and I am not convinced that you really know your soil pH while wet and while dry.

soil dry all the way down to the bottom, ie the containers feel feather light with no water weight? If not, wait... force those plants to send roots out to find the water.

The pot was light and I dug my hand into the soil, I went almost to the bottom it was dry.

Remember I'm new... how do I flip into flower? I'll bring the seedlings inside and put them under the CFL's I have.

anytime after they are mature (alternating nodes) you simply go to a 12/12 light schedule and they do the flip.

its a lot easier just to lift the container up and see if you can feel water weight.

Damn I probably could have used our old fridge for that huh? Didn't think of that.You wouldn’t happen to have permission to slow dry in the refrigerator would you?

Lol. No I meant how will you be consuming the buds. If your smoking it, you can still jar cure them. My last batch was hung for 4 days, snipped off the stem, then into brown paper bags and into the refrigerator. Watch them in there, the humidity drops hard and then spikes as it warms. I checked and gently rotated daily for a weekish. Then into a jar with a hydrometer. I burped the jars daily and checked the humidity once the jar got to room temp (most people have good luck around 62% stable humidity).
Or
Hang till the stem snap, then jar and burp daily. Leave the top off for 15ish minutes a day. Watch humidity (62%ish). This should all be done in a dark and cool stable temperature.
Don’t over pack the jars until they are very very very stable or mold is a big possibility.
There’s some really good material by people on this site. They’ve all done the hard part, all we have to do is read.
