Plant Re potting when Fruiting?

[Brian2112]

Hey guys, I was just wondering if it would be safe to pot-up a hab plant in a bigger pot that is starting making pods??
Will it stun the pod production or would it be fine....?
Thanks, here is some pics :-)

Why do you want to repot your plant when it looks perfectly fine where it is? Has its roots coming out from the bottom? If you can pull out with everything intact, then it should be ok by placing it in a larger pot.

How big is the pot that it's in?

 

[Brian2112]

Like a 10 or 12 inch I think, i think it's too small..

You shouldn't have a problem re-potting, just be gentle. I pot-up continuously until the end of summer and never have issues

For a final pot up I wouldn't go any smaller than a 5-gal pot size, many go bigger and bigger is almost always better!!

Good luck!!

Thanks Potawie and Super Hot!
I will repot them soon, thanks for the advice!

repot. =D

in my limited experience, repotting a plant with pods will either cause the plant to abandon the fruit or prematurely forcing the pods to ripen. and then it will refocus its enegery to adjusting itself into its new container.

you might even find a patch of dirt
and let it really GROW

if you got any dirt i would put it in that

I will get some 5 gallons, I cant put them in the ground because I live in apartments and I dont own the grounds...., however, I did plant some chilli plants in my dad's garden back home, so we will see how those go
