3-5 gallon size would be better if you can . nobody said anything and it was not part of your post but what are you feeding it . ? It looks a little light color maybe time for some food ? make sure you read up on how what nutes your girl uses will change when you flower and do your homework on how to tell what under and over feeding looks like .

well ... you can flower it whenever you want really. the best is to wait 8 weeks I believe. then you get the most bud. I waited 5 weeks before I flowered mine. also the other thing to remember or take into consideration is your plant is going to double if not triple in size when it flowers. so it depends on the size area you have to grow.

I've done that 1 week ago. Now she has a 9.5 inches high on 9.5 inches wide pot. Isn't it enough?

I transplanted mine and put into flower the same day. she is doing quite well. this is my first grow though so I dont have a whole lot of experience. also everyone tells me I need a biugger pot. mine is in maybe a 2 gal

we shouldn't be proud of it, it's a crappy one. Mine was only 35 cents from honk knong and at the local stores you can find it with 10 euros. It is accurate for ph testing and humidity but is not the best one. I have a liquid pH tester as well

3-5 gallon pot? that's about 9 to 15 liters...that's a huge bucket . As per nutrients I've started to give her (only the last watering 2 cups of M.G.)

So...how tall should the pot be? 9-15 liters should be at about 50 cm tall, is it?
And yea, I had some problems with it, some Ca/mag deficit and the leaves from the bottom were a bit affected, but now after some treatment for ostheoporosis( I am not joking , I gave it 1 tab of calcichew - 500 mg calcium and vitamin d), the plant looks better

i'm sure waiting to establish roots isn't necessary as much as a safe guard for a healthy flower. it can ensure the roots are established to provide the best buds possible and allows time for stress recovery.

i've never seen anyone use that fertilizer, however you will be able to tell if your girls are getting too much, or not enough food. as far as the pots go, there seems to be a debate as to how necessary it really is. it could be that your plant growth is stunted and a decrease in yield due to being root bound in a pot that cannot support full root development. the argument is that is more of a myth and that you don't need nearly as much as it's made out to be. rule of thumb that i've heard and can't really hurt you is one gallon per foot of growth.

Thanks and rep+ for all your kindness and help. I'll try to replant it later on today in a bigger pot and hopefully I'll make the journal and keep you informed there.
