Any ideas as to when I should transplant these plants? Will be going into 4g final pots. Also, when do you think would be safe to start making the transition to outside? Currently under 3ft T5 single bulb fixture. Thanks in and Vance!

Hey growmie 😎. First of all, your plant looks very beautiful 😍👍. You can repot when the whole bale is properly rooted. You can easily test it when it is ready by letting it dry a little, then stretching the pot a little, and then slowly pulling it upwards on the thick stem below without any force. If it doesn't come loose immediately and comes out of the pot, wait a bit :-) Keep it up, the grow will be mega 👍😎🙏🏻

I agree with the other answer. Next time you run autos just plant in the final pot. Autos have a fixed lifespan so any stress will stunt their growth and lower yields transplanting is one of the more stressful things you can do to a plant. Since you are in week 4 the plant is either already starting to flower or will really really soon. With that in mind i eould transplant now so you arent stressing the plant in flower potentially causing it to hermie. As far as transitioning to outside goes, start the transition like 5 or 6 days after you transplant. Since you are using really weak lighting dont just throw the plant outside. Youll wind up overwhelming it. What you should do is set it outside for a couple hours the first few days and then 3-4 hours the next few days, increasing the time spent outside every few days. You might be able to increase the hours outside faster if the plant responds well. Another thing to note. If you are growing in the northern us right now theres still not all that much direct sunlight until the start of June when you start having 14+ hours of sun. So even with putting it outside right now, youll likely want to suplement some extra hours of light to increase growth. Autos love long light hours. If you need any more assistance feel free to dm me. Good luck!

As an auto, you need to be careful when transplanting. Any shock will stunt their growth. Be as careful as possible. Normally I’d go from germination to final pot. As far as outside, make sure your temps are high enough/ both at night and during the day. I’d say not lower the 60 degrees (16 c ). Again it’s about not stunting her growth. If wind is an issue, feel free to stake her. I find doing it sooner rather then later, as there’s less chance of damaging the root system. Happy growing 🌱

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Ideally u want to plant a auto strain into its final pot srraight away so not to cause any stress to her.. U have few choice.. Either, try very VERY carefully to repot her now (cutting pot open carefully is best if not root bound) - nightmare job!! 2) just remove bottom of pot and place onto new grow medium .. Or let her get root bound then repot her as soon as possible.. This mite shock her into flowering tho.. Best of luck n stay safe.. 👍🍀
