I'd do it quickly mate as your roots are still growing for the next week or two... Yield will go up if you do it now but won't have a bearing in couple of weeks as root development stops...

Yeah I think you can transplant no problem. However, you may not want to fill them up completely full with soil.
Doubling the pot size after the stretch seems like maybe too large a jump to expect roots to fill. Maybe 4 gallons?

Yeah I don't know if I would go double but 1.5 would be fine just like Weasel is saying. Even if the roots don't fill the added moisture holding capacity will help keep things constant during flower. But double the soil might tip that too far to the scale of being overly wet for too long.

Damn Dawgs! Where else could a gent get such sound advice. Thank you all Grizz, Weasel, Shiggity!!! Reps all around. Work off tom, be home bought time of lights on, already have my buckets ready and a fresh batch of soil, Get 'er Done!! 
Yield and water time makes sense, going to take the advise and put like 3.5 gallons 4 max.

Thanks Bro and your right just a tool shed.
On another note, temps above predicted today but came home to a perfect shed temp during sleepy time & but pretty good in the tents, with the exception of humidity which didn't seem to bother them, plenty of breathing room and air
inside shed:
Inside 5x5:
inside 4x4:
Then my always present pest control, thinking this one was into the buzz:
Then these that are tits up, building them a paper boat and will give a proper blessed Polynesian send off:

so every night when I get home the lights have just come on and I make a path and rotate each bucket 180*'s or thereabouts. This is what I love about this setup, I figured out the coated tomato cages are best for watering and strength, during rotation and don't get in the way of one another. So yeah I gotta go buy some more! I love it when I make my path and get my big ass laid down underneath the canopy and do the rotation Tonight I did bend a top heavy branch, wired it up and will check supports on all tom when water time comes. This was one of the Critical Kushs that seems to be sativa or switched @ birth, leggy and spindly. Everybody else pretty strong with a couple weeks to go @ most. Think I'm going to take the tops first and see what kinda extra bloom I can get from the bottoms. Enough ramble' off work for 3 & 1/2 days 
gonna put the boat in the water tom and see if Dixie (my Lab pup) and I can catch a us some supper. I love the understory views so I took a few yellow pics hope you don't mind? Just going off and I'm digging' it!
first I slide the buckets over to make the path, these are 14" pans, going to 12" for a bit more room
Understory views:
Get off me, these things are thick as thieves, my pest control:
Bent branch: it's be alright, or I'll light it up:
Few yellow fever close ups

Yes Ma'am sure are, I once built and planted a beautiful lil kitchen garden for my baby Sister and she bought some houses and packets of those lil' rascals. I see they sell 'em by the 500 packs, now I just need to figure out how to trap 'em, we're overrun with them here and I like it.
Actually I've seen a huge change from not seeing LadyBugs & Fireflies as I did as a kid to seeing both by the hundreds in the past 10-15 years, I think it has to do with the laws here that required the farmers to quit using DDT. Have a great Sunday, I slept in till noon

Hello captain!
I usually get an old jam jar or smaller, poke holes in the top and I flick them off the leaf into the the bottle and then close it quickly - the first three or four will keep trying to fly out so each time I open the jar to catch the next one, I shake them to the bottom of the jar. Once there are a few in the jar though they all tend to huddle together and stop trying to escape. I usually catch up to 50 and then I carry the jar to wherever I want them and release them and go back and do it again. Best time to catch them seems to be first thing now the morning, after a good downpour.
Unfortunately many people forget that when you treat your garden with pesticides one usually kills other beneficial creepy crawlies......where the ants are concerned though I am pretty vicious, when I was supervising the clearing going on in Narnia last week I could see a massive ant hill about 8 feet away from Narnia already swarming with fire ants and it's only February.....I'm afraid the ant hill is going to get massive amounts of hardcore ant powder (commercial strength)

full balls on the ants for sure! Lady bugs, heck Sugar, I got them in the room and a few on detail. They are so thick here you wonder if it's a wasp, mosquito, or lady bug on you. When I say trap them I mean commercial style, by the thousands

quick update, finally got the transplant on the 2.5 gallons into the 5 gallon homer's, the 2.5's were almost as big in diameter so most of the dirt was put in the bottom then side filled. Watered with a 1/4 dose of FF Tiger bloom 2-8-4, didn't have any type of root helper. Went well took the ole' butter knife and ran around the edges, smooth as molasses transplant. This transplant was done @ 23 days in to flower. We'll see 
shot of growth since 21 day defol 6 days ago and transplant @ 23 days into flower:
high ho high ho.....

I'm gonna just do a fast pic post just cause. And Goodness I love this one green Crack aka "Jolly Green Crack"; she's only 24-25 inches tall but she's holding (4) 1 foot colas and still getting phat! Luckily, out of the 6 surviving clones of 24 I have (1) of her 
and once more lucky to have a surviving Crital Kush that is 2nd best of that strain @ the moment:
then there's the 9 WWxBB seedlings with 8 looking strong:
Then a look at the growth since yesterday up pot and regrowth of fans since a week ago super defoll:
And by the way you heads could have told me to take my bifocals off to look through my loupe I'm constantly complaining about. Now I just need a damn tripod for the thing.

So... I'm makin groceries the other day... ran across a sale on crawfish platters. THE PERFECT runoff catching device. How did I not see that one years ago?
Looking amazing!
Side note... drop me a PM if you want a Jazzfest parking spot... I'm within stumbling distance of the front gate.

Hell Yeah! Great idea perfect & should plentiful and free down your way! I surely appreciate the parking invite Tead. Been having some left arm and chest pains when working, (which between the day job and grow seems to be all the damn time), got an appointment with an Internist on Monday and my old Doc from Texas says probably stable angina, because only happening during exertion not while @ rest, need a Heart Cath, so here we go, hopefully they don't put me on the table for a stent or two immediately, but have been feeling weak the whole last year, just trying to get some good insurance and hope for the best. Maybe next year. Truly appreciate the offer Tead.
Thank You
