What do I do?

Hey everyone, so as I wait for my harvest around mid January, hopefully, I have my new 7 plants in 1 and 2 gallon fabric pots in my veg room. They're healthy, look great, but bed to be up potted so bad. I'm watering every other day now, even with the 2g. I'm slowing them down by keeping them in the small pots, but what else can i do? I don't want them getting much bigger, cause I learned that mistake with my current flower. Plus I'm having an awesome go in my back flower room with a 400w and 2 white russians.

As soon as I go to bigger pots these guys are gonna explode?

Transplant...cut tops off to stunt plant...use cuttings as clones if you like....or...
Lst plant to stay low. ..lots that you can do to a plant lol

I personally like to train them with LST to make them stay low

Just set into flower

I can't yet, both my flower rooms are running right now full. That's why I'm here. These 7 are going to replace my current crop in a few weeks. It's just getting tiring watering 7 1g pots, every other day lol. I'm worried in a week it will be a daily job. All my water is carried 3 floors to my attic, up suicide stairs, it's no fun.

Thank you for the help though, I've been using the small pots to keep them from growing, because I'm afraid I'll repot, and they grow too much in the next 2/3 weeks. Then the stretch, and I'm back to running 3 and a half foot monsters for another 2 months. No thanks haha

Super cropping will tremendously slow them down, I did it to my plant in veg and it stayed pretty low with great results

That's a good idea, my plan is to up pot by the tenth, giving them hopefully just over a week before the move into flower. I took my final run of clones last night lol

Oh well if you're flowering in a week I'd just leave them they won't get much taller

More like 2 to 3 weeks. I need my first run to finish up and i don't have a set time to say, "this is when they're going in".

My dilemma..
I want to keep them small, then around the tenth, go from 1g to 3g/2g to 5g, veg another week, then they replace the old ladies. Let then sink into their new homes a bit.
