Hey guys,

I'm about to flip to flowering since I have a time constraint (need to have done by aug 1) and right now they're in solo cups and about 3-4" tall. I am wondering if I should transplant into 1 gal and then into 3 gal 2 weeks into flowering or if I should go straight into 3 gal and then flip in 2 days.

Thoughts?

I would definitely not flip two days after transplanting from 18oz to three gal.

You could get away with the solo to three gal but I would give them at least a couple weeks before the flip..

That's cuttin it way too close. Even if they are done by then, you still need more time for them to dry. What kind of time constraints? Moving?

Yea I'm moving. They're a 55-60 day strain.

I'm moving Aug 20 though. Calculated in some drying time.

I don't know what to say except cross your fingers and hope they are done by then. You need more veg time. And I'm sure you know a 55-60 day strain won't always necessarily be done in that time frame. Good luck.

I think I'm going to flip them this Wednesday. At 70 days flowering, they'll be done by August 3rd. Gives me a few weeks to harvest, dry, and enjoy.

Even the smallest one has roots out the bottom and slight swirling. They're going into the 3 gals tonight.

What medium you using?

I would say flower them in 1 gals if they're really only 4" tall and you need to flower in 2 days..

Promix HP.

Going to flower in 4-5 days. Transplated 4 into 3 gals and 1 smaller one into a 1 gal.

We will see if I notice any differences.

Should be done then

all of june and july is 61 days.

If flowered now at 12/12..nothing won't happened until you see the pistils.You're cutting it close but it can be done.I prefer the 2 gallon pots.1 gallon can be too small/faster and 3 gallon can be too big/too long.

Tagged. Too see the difference between 1 and 3 gallons.

Thought of an idea during later stages....If really want to finish earlier then switch the lights to 14/off -10/on.
