Happy with size of plant. Time to flower?

  1. I was planning to replant my ladies(hopefully) from their 2.5 qt pots into something a little bigger but i was reading that when you switch from veg to flower the growth of roots stop and the plant focuses on producing flowers(buds) which made me forget about my plants becoming rootbound during flowering.

    Im looking for opinions. Do you think its ready to make the switch from 18/6 to 12/12? or should I replant and veg for X amount of days?

    Also, do you think its necessary to replant to bigger pot for flowering? Or will I be safe with these if i'm happy with their size?

    Pics can be found on diff thread i started. I wasnt sure how to repost the same pictures. Any info on that would be great.

  2. you will still grow roots (quite a bit actually) after 12/12. and the plants will grow to 2x-2.5x in height without tying them down, so make sure when you move it to flower, you have enough room for it to double in heighth. I didnt believe it would grow this much, but it did, and to grow so much it needs a lot of roots, so they will definitely multiply, so make sure you have enough room for them to grow, or you'll go rootbound. I think restricting root space might keep them from growing further, but cant verify from my experience.
     
  3. thanks DangerousD. Yea im planning to repot but im gonna switch to 12/12 first to find out the sex. Right now im waiting for them to perk back up. I had to flush them cause of nute burn. I now know from first hand experience to say no to Miracle Grow lol.
