Should I transplant or let them go?

[Todd gunter]

I am growing in a 2 gallon pot thinking I’d be good which so far I am, but a few of my ladies went nuts and I’m worried about getting root bound. They are 1 week into flower and are kicking ass but I know that the third week into flower always shows you where you are actually at. Right now they are about 30 to 33 in tall and are doing great but wondering if I should go ahead and throw them in 3 gallon pots.

Yeah I’d probably transplant. Nearly 3’ high in a 2 gallon pot and still stretching is pushing it. Depending on the medium I try to arrange it so I can go at least 4 or 5 days without watering. I worry less about them getting rootbound than having to water them every two days. If they do get rootbound it will show as foliage yellows and loses health.

 

[Todd gunter]

Yeah, I thought so. I’m using coco loco mixed 50/50 with perlite. They are drinking a half gallon every 24 hours. The strain is cherry pie.

 

[Weaselcracker]

Ok - coco/perlite is a little different as it’s so well aerated. It’s also meant to be watered frequently.

In this case I’d say there’s no real need to transplant then. If your plants seem happy then don’t worry about it. There are many good things about small containers - if you don’t mind watering often.
But if you do decide to later it certainly won’t hurt anything.

Edit- I’m not actually sure of the ingredients in coco loco but assume it’s mainly coco...

 

[Todd gunter]

Yeah, they look better than anything I’ve done in the past so i guess I will let them roll.

 

[Weaselcracker]

Yeah they look great. Good work.
