Re-pot during flower

Hello again! I know this question's been asked before but I would like to get the opinion of someone who's actually seen my plant. I am wondering if it would be wise to re-pot my plant during flowering? It's day 17 of 12/12 now and she's stretching like crazy. I'm thinking this'll stop soon but the roots are once again coming out the pot. Is it actually worth it now and will she/we benefit from it, or will it just stress her out too much and waste time? Bare in mind I actually pretty experienced at transplanting plants - she's big now but I'll get someone to help me... Thanks

Before anyone points out the obvious and says she should have been re-potted weeks ago, I am very aware of that now, thanks. She was a rescue plant and I was totally unprepared. This is my first indoor grow.

What size pot? 5gal? if so your fine. Shell stop stretching anyday now. about the 3 week mark is when the stretch stops.

If done gently & correctly she'll love it after about 24 hours. Nutrients? She'll stop stretching so much, that's for sure, s long as your light is within 2 feet of her. What strain is it? *obviously it should have replanted about the same time it was topped, but since it's a rescue plant already I say it's your duty to further rescue it.........good luck you two!

I don't know the size of the pot sorry. Big enough to fit my head in. I guess I was kind of hoping experienced people would be able to tell from looking... Thanks, I hope she stops stretching soon. Next grow: five gallon pots.

It's bagseed. Unknown strain. Strongly suspect sativa (would love to hear others opinions). Feeding her Biobizz Grow, Bloom, and Top Max at every watering.

I don't really want her to grow any taller, and I think you're both right she'll stop stretching soon, but what I want to know is: will a bigger pot and the chance to make more root mass (at this late stage) equal bigger buds?

The "stretch" is normal durring flower, and no I wouldn't transplant her, I grow big happy girls in 3 gal pots all the time...and it looks more Indica to me with those fat leaves, a Sativa would have more spacing between the nodes...she looks happy and healthy, good luck.

dude, your plant was fucked a long time ago, respectfully, in terms of reaching its full potential. that's what is killing the experienced growers when they look at the plant. You really never know how a plant will react to a transplant, but usually things that are alive don't want to die Sounds like a lot of fertilizer, but I'm sure you're not using too much of each kind. pot size equal bigger buds? usually, but who knows here. I still say yes.

Really! What you say is very interesting. I prefer indica tbh. Thank you!

Oh no, I didn't want to kill anyone!

The plant looks fine, it needs a fan blowin' on it to strengthen the stalks to hold the weight of the buds...but you are wrong about pot size IMO, cuz I grow in 3 gal pots to have more room for more plants and here they are in all their glory..
