Well it basically says it all, (I'm a beginner so I know this question is kinda stupid) I put this plant in flowering about 5 days ago, already showing calyx but no pistils. And Im not very good at transplanting so I don't want to mess up the roots and make it a hermie from stress(incase) it actually doesn't need transplanted. But I just want your opinion if you think this plant looks like it needs transplanted and any tips you could give me on transplanting it. Cfl Planted from SEED may 5th If I pull it out to check I really think the roots will break if it's not actually rootbound because the dirt will fall apart http://db.tt/d0iJPp7y http://db.tt/vTM8jznm http://db.tt/qlytSv7X
In my opinion for you,you don't need to transplant it (you don't want to miss it up for your first time).If your really scared for it,don't do it (it's really not that necessary).Your pot is nearly ok to use. But if you want a bigger plant,and want to transplant.Take a sharp knife,and cut the pot down way all in half so some dirt fall's making you pull the plant and it's root's easily and more carefully into your new pot. Another advise is to wait a few more day's,maybe a week until it get's bigger to transplant. The plant look's in good shape.Also head's up.the first few day's after transplanting it in a new pot.It may look not alrite,that's just because it need's a little time to get used to the newer pot (it will then look better the next few day's).
I didn't think about the cutting at all, I'll keep an eye on it to see if its growth rate slows down. Thanks you
