Did a very interesting experiment that I've wanted to do for a while now. few months back I was saying that you should give a plant at least two weeks prior to flip so it's not trying to grow roots and whatnot instead of concentrating on flipping. So i took two similar cuts, put them in 1 gallons and vegged for a few weeks. When I flipped I put one of them into 3 gallon and put them next to each other in the 4 by 4 and I couldn't believe the results. The one in the 1 gal has considerably bigger buds that are more developed. Two weeks left and unless the 3 gal makes a late run, 1 gal ftw!!

I usually up pot at transition. Hmmm. Maybe I,should give em a week or two withthenew shoes before hitting the flower tent. I have thought this as well. Added stress?

Last run I put bare root clones straight out of the aerocloner into coco and set them to flower as an experiment. I'd like to say they didn't skip a beat, but they did have a rough first week, after that though they just took off. Worked out well for me, especially considering I have a history of over vegging and causing myself problems.

I'm all about trying different approaches to see how little tweaks change the outcome.

Same. I barely ever make it two weeks in new shoes (3gal) before the flip. I’m not worried about stress at all, just time if it stunts them. Trying to get better at managing my time...

these are interesting results and if i could run 1 gal pots, and have more strains and same or better yield, I’ll be all over it. I remember H saying the same thing in his opinion, more smaller pots is the way to go.

We’ll have to keep in mind this was only 2 plants side by side though. Good stuff!

Ty I have been wanting to do it for a while now. I even planned it out so they had as similar a life to one another as possible.
