@MzPurp Yes unfortunately I think youā€™re too late to transplant. Transplanting during flowering may shock her into hermie- and would hate to see that happen. But the pot does look quiet small- how many weeks into flowering is she?? ---

Itā€™s been about 3 weeks now. The buds have doubled in size since last week. Iā€™m so mad at myself for slacking off like I did when I put so much into getting her going. I started her from a seed I had found in a friendsā€™ bag lol. Waited almost a year before I planted her. This was back in late june. I do so regret not properly documenting her growth šŸ˜‘ ---

@Ray4x so what about after I harvest? I want to try and keep my baby going so she can bud again. You think I could transplant her to a more permanent home then? ---

@Wishingilivedina420state omg YES I wasnā€™t ready for the height. But I was scared to top her. LOL ---

I love topping my plants, gets better yield . But you have to do it in your own time. Donā€™t try and rush anything with these plants it only causes problems. I gotta say I agree with @Ray4x I wouldnā€™t transplant now , may cause big problems. ---

Thanks @Wishingilivedina420state and @Ray4x Iā€™m gonna leave her in her current pot and just worry about feeding for now. So far sheā€™s been happy with the raspberry and goji berry tea I give her. She smells sooo yummy! ---

Hey! She looks great! Iā€™ve seen people have nice results with small pots. Itā€™s not ideal, but you can make up for it with more frequent water/feed. ---

> [@MzPurp](#): > > o what about after I harvest? I want to try and keep my baby going so she can bud again. You think I could transplant her to a more permanent home then? Assuming you have a growlight, etc, and can flip back to vegging after harvest, I think you could pot it up once itā€™s growing vigorously again. You really have nothing to lose giving it a shot, right? ---

@MzPurp It is possible to get your plant to reveg again. But Iā€™ve seen a few people on here try without any success. And from what I read the yield is significantly less and seems to not be worth the time. You will need to leave about a quarter to half of the buds and leaves on the plant when you harvest and then switch your light back to 18/6 or whatever you were using for veg. In my opinion you are better off dropping a new seed and starting a new grow. ---

Iā€™m too a novice but is it too late to clone? Thatā€™d be better than starting from seed again at least. I think you have to clone before it flowers, right? ---

@Tylan You can take clones up until 2-3 weeks after light switching. That is a process called monster cropping. Supposedly if you clone a plant that is just starting flowering and then reveg that clone- you get a bigger yield. ---

Iā€™ve taken clones from plants 7 weekā€™s after light flip with no issues other then taking a lil bit longer to root sometimesā€¦ šŸ˜‰ āœŒ šŸ•¶
