So I was wondering if it would be a good or bad idea to transplant to bigger pots they are 1 week into flower? Dont wanna stress them so any help? ---

You can, but if you’re this far, why do you think you need to transplant? ---

What size pots are they in now? How big are the plants? Are you growing autos? ---

I would only transplant if it truly needs it. Because at this stage you could lose it all if the plant can’t recover. This is why I will be growing only in 15 gallon fabric pots. I don’t do transplanting now. Lost a couple due to doing it. 😔 ---

My plants are always happier after a transplant, never have any problem with it (in the last 20 years anyway). I used to transplant a week or 2 into flowering with regular seeds after they showed their sex with no issues but yeah if your root ball falls apart during transplant, you’re plant will not be happy. ---

They are little over 2ft in 3 gallon fabric bags and I feel like they are only gonna stretch more. They look very health but I feel like how big they are they need more room for roots but this is first grow so I’m not sure ---

Yeah, I’d just leave them, ever try to transplant a plant out of a fabric pot? Not fun, that’s why I only use them for the final pot. ---
