Should I switch to larger pots for flower?

Should I switch these girls to bigger pots for flower? They are in 5 gallons. I have 30’s I could put them in or will it be a waste because they aren’t so big yet? I’m assuming we start flower in about 10 days (not scientific lol just best guess)😎

Putting them in 30s this late in the season and considering the current size, would be a waste in my opinion. Leaving them as they are now is probably all you will need, considering how little summer is left and the small size of your plants and the fact flowering would be commencing soon, so there won't be any real need for 30 gallons of soil due to the limited amount of growing they will be doing before flowering starts. If it were May, I would say definitely, but being nearly August, I can't see a need for 30 gallon pots. If you are really keen, 10 gallon pots would be the most suitable for this time of the year and for your situation, in my opinion. I doubt I would bother with the weirdo though, could turn out to be a waste of soil in my experience. Hope this helps, Organoman.

It never hurts to give the plant more room to grow. Bigger roots = bigger fruits. They are a little small but if your going to transplant do it asap.

I like bigger pots because it allows more time between waterings on hot summer days. Plus, I'm just a big pot person. I want as large a root mass as possible.

If you’re gonna switch definitely do it before flower but 30 is huge. You could get away with the 5 if you’re entering flower soon as they aren’t huge yet. I had a plant almost 6 foot diameter in a 10 that vegged for 3 months outdoors. Downside was it got top heavy and wanted to tip so I attached it to bricks haha. And I also struggled with high temps outdoor last year, get some sun shade cloth for the 100+ days. Good luck 👍
