Transplant in flower

Okay so I have some mother plants that we're retired and discarded. I didn't like hearing that they we're discarded so I brought them home and put them outside April 1st or so. It was still super cold at night. Within a week of seeing natural sun they all started to flower. I transplanted two into the ground figuring they would reveg eventually. One of the was developing buds so quickly I decided to transplant it(they we're all rootbound in little pots) and grow it indoors under 12/12. Well it was only a week ago and it is flipping going CRAZY!!!! My question is this: The plants I put in the ground have undoubtedly spread their roots by now. Can I uproot them and repot? I want them to come inside and finish up too!! Unknown strain but looks and smells like White widow or Strawberry Cough.

Well, I'd say if it were still vegging it would be OK. But, I would think transplanting during flower like that carries the risk of negtatively impacting your yield. Plus, one might end up bringing bugs inside from a plant that's been living outside. I don't mean to be discouraging, though. If you want to try it, I hope it works out for you.

I sprayed them with Doctor Zymes and brought them inside. They are KILLIN' IT!!!....i even disturbed the rootball because of overhead clearance issues and put them in a wider pot....these girls didn't even skip a beat. So when someone says you can't transplant during late flower you can tell them not true. I did it. I fucking did it!! Woo Hoo!!!

You are a month or more away from "late flower"

Edit: it isn't that it can't be done but it can cause stress to the plant causing Hermies

Based on that last picture it was barely in flower. It also looks like it was already in need of help, I'm sure transplanting it didn't help. Just because it's in a closet doesn't mean you couldn't have brought bugs in with it.

I've transplanted a couple times during mid or late flowering,even snapped a budding branch off by accident,stuck it in good dirt and threw it in with my clones and its still growing.It can work but not something i would advise.

I run my smaller clones on a 18/6 in one tent,teener clones on a 20/4 in veg part and of course 12/12 in flower tent. The budding branch i broke off was just an accident i was just fooling around with. I move shit around when i think its time. Yes i have transplanted during flowering. Does that answer your fucking question?
Edit:where that dudes post go?

So let me get this straight. You transplanted a plant in mid to late flower. You moved the transplanted plant that was in mid to late flower in with clones. On 18/6 or 20/4. Right...

At first with clones (lights on) with softer light then later on moved to flower tent (lights off) for the broken branch (only). But i did have a lemon sour diesel that was in too small of pot in mid flower so i transplanted and she blew up which is with the rest in 12/12. Maybe im not explaining this properly.

There we're 8 of them and they we're discarded by the side of the road. Probably mothers that whoever was done with is my best guess. I think they flowered out of emergency, This was the beginning of April and it was cold outside. Doesn't matter if I brought anything in with them, they are by themselves. They would most definitely have died being root bound in those little pots. Anything else you want to point out? Keep in mind that zero investment and nothing to lose by saving these plants and letting them flower is why I made the choice regardless of what was said on here. It was MY experiment

Completely an experiment with no investment whatsoever, so I figured what the heck I got nothing to lose and if it works I've got free bud!!

Depending on container size and your ability to lift etc

How to Transplant Tutorial!

Hello everyone, I get asked quite often "How do you transplant your plants?" So i thought i would write this little tutorial to help people out. First things first. I always have plenty of POTS and i recommend you always keep some of yours as spares to make it easy at Transplanting time...
www.rollitup.org

This is a stress free tutorial I did a while back about how to transplant with almost zero stress.

You are right except the pictures you posted of course :hug:
Which are not in late flower especially since APRIL?

Listen, these plants we're mothers and discarded. I brought them home because well, frankly I can't cull plants and I figure these girls deserve to finish right? It was beginning of April when I brought them home. The guy I got them from had them in his grow room on 12/12 with his plants and decided he didn't have room so he put em' in a dark cold garage for 2 days before I rescued them. Many weeks went by and they continued to flower outside. After transplanting and bringing inside my closet they are flourishing. Trichomes are already clouding up. These pics are from just now. Smells like gassy bubblegum and I have no history, strain data, nothing
