Should I transplant or being greedy?

Hello All, newbie here, a while back I was able to save my plants by revegging them. What had happened was that I didn’t realize they needed at least 18 hours of light ( growing outdoors) sp they started flowering week 2 or 3. Amyway, they revegged and now they are growing to beautiful ladies. A few weeks back I transplanted them to 20 gallon fabric pots.
They are looking super healthy and about 3-4 feet tall. I have some 30 gallon fabric pots that I had ordered, should I transplant or at this point I might shock them? I just don’t want ro ruin a good thing. Maybe do one or two and see how it goes.?

You can put those on top of the 30 gallons, a few inches deep into the soil/medium. The roots should grow through to the larger bag.

What i would do if your going to transplant put the whole plant in your new bigger pot in its hole and very carefully rip the bag open idk just a suggestion lol

I wouldn’t transplant I grow in 5 gallon containers and they do just fine. I believe the bigger the better but they will be awesome in 20 gal pots. As a matter of fact they look awesome now. Congratulations on your grow

I would also roll with them. 20 gallon will make a big plant.

20 gallon pots can grow absolute monster plants if you can keep them fed and watered properly. I personally would leave them in the 20 gallon bags. For me, fabric bags are tough to transplant from if the roots have already started getting into the material. Beautiful looking girls though!!!

The suggestion to simply set it in a larger bag works perfectly. Roots will grow right through and the plant will thrive.
Here is a pic to prove it works…

Awesome!! Thank you!

I think the 20 gallon bags he is using won’t allow the roots to grow through the sides. They look like these I have and the bottoms are also lined there is only a 1-2” section around the base to allow water to seep out if watered too much.
So transplanting the entire bag into a larger one wouldn’t work out well at least from what I see from the pic above.


They will do great in 20 gallon pots.
If you do decide to transplant you’ll want to make sure the 20 gallon is well watered to help keep the soil together especially since they haven’t been in them that long so roots won’t have entirely filled the soil.
You’ll need to remove the stitching at the side seem so if you ever want to use that bag again you could stitch it back up.

I could be wrong but pretty sure those bags are root maker bags or ones with similar features.

Hope this helps

You may be right. I have not used bags that size.
