We are growing 2 plants and are wondering when to transplant them into bigger pots? Can we do it now? And is there any part of day that is better to do it, as they are both outdoor plants?

I would transplant them soon, before your roots get bound up. How many times are you planning to repot them? If only once you probably want to put them in a 5 gallon with some holes drilling through the bottom for drainage.
 
i have a feeling they are root bound you should transplant when the plant is as big as its pot how old are they. and you should tranplant to its final destination. you should also transplant right before night so it has time to recover over night
 
they are roughly a month and a week or so old. and yes when we transplant it would be for the last time as well
 
yea bro transplant asap right before sun down i had plants in double that pot size and where 15'' and they where root bound
 
transplant late in the light cycle, the dark time helps roots. I found if you have a 1 gal. pot at 13" it needs transplanted.
 
ok thanks alot guys. this is mine and my husbands first time growing so all the info has helped us out alot. Thanks again
 
i love the way fresh seedlings look before they take off and start looking like pot plants for real. Its been a while since i grew from seed.
 
We just transplanted them this evening and we started to notice that they are wilting abit. We are wondering if they will bounce back or if they are going to die. If anyone can let us know what they think will happen that would be awesome.

Thanks again.

What if you are grow inside under 24 hour lights...When you transplant do you want to knock all the dirt away from the roots or leave all the dirt with the roots and plant it all together in the new pot?

first off i think 24 hr light is way too much and I believe you leave the dirt on the roots as to not damage the roots.
