I don't like to transplant before flipping. The plant needs time to develop the root system and will work on that at first. It always seems to help to wait a week and watch the plant start to grow again before you flower it.

Quote: ShameMaker said: Is it possible or even practical to transplant from a 6 gallon pot to a 10 gallon pot when moving plants from veg to flower?
It's certainly possible, and not impractical in any sense. But, do you feel like your plant in is outgrowing its 6 gallon pot?
If your root ball is clamoring for space, not only is it practical to transplant to a bigger pot, but just about necessary.
If I were to go about this, I would transplant before my lights switch on (unless you run 24/0 on veg) in the morning. Straight into a soil that's innoculated with:
-Mycorrhizal -EM1 -Gro Kashi
Feed that soil with a worm casing tea mixed in with aloe and coconut powder, or fresh coconut water and aloe cuttings if available.
If you're interested in this method, let me know so I can further go into ratios to "build" soil specifically designed to grow bud.
I transplant before flip all the time, it has plenty of time to work on roots. It hasn't slowed my girls down at all I get pistils in less than a week. Everyone has a method to madness not saying anyone here is wrong just sharing my experience. If u have ur nutes and environment right they will grow fat especially in the last 2 weeks. I believe the root system continues to grow regardless of bud production thus meaning transplanting is a must.
