Plant pot advice

Plants are 3 weeks old. Varying in size from 5 inches to around 10 inches. Have a total of 27 plants. 4 plants are in big pots but the rest are pretty small. The pots are about 6 inches in diameter and 8 inches in height. Will they be big enough? The roots are coming through the holes at the bottom and also coming out of the soil at the top? Will this cause problems. First time grower and any help would be much appreciated...

you need bigger pots then, if the roots are comming out the top and bottem.

Severely lacking in space though. Was going to start flowering them so I could eliminate the males to create more space, but not sure if they are big enough. I'll try and get some photos on. Bit worried about flowering after 3 weeks veg...

Here are a couple of pics. Are they ready to flower?

pics don't show

There we go... Are they ready to flower?

you need to transplant to bigger pots your already root bound. if you could post pics of your pots you could get better advice. the inside of the pots we would need to see the level of the soil you have in them you may not have enough soil in them for the roots to be growing out the bottom this early in there groth. gl on your grow may you be cursed with many buds

I'll get some more photos on in 2 mins...

Are they any better?

If your roots are already coming out of the pots you need to transpalnt if you want them to grow more. As far as whether they are ready to flower yet, that depends a lot on how big you want them to get. They can triple in height during flower. In my micro grow I flip to 12/12 when they are about 6 inches and they end up about 18-22 inches.

What kind of yield do you get per plant?

you got lots of room in there, just upcan to bigger pots, or you can find pots that are the same width, just taller, that would be your best bet that way if they're all females you could keep 'em all. Last thing I could recomend is root trimming, you'll have to look that yourself as I've never had to do it myself.
Is that carpet in your grow room? If it is you'll wanna get rid of that, as it get humid in your grow room, you'll run a greater chance of growing mold and fungus.
Hope this helps
