Transplanting at Low Stress Training Plant?

How could I do this?

Here are the two, and these pictures are about four days old now. They are huge. How do I transplant them? Wouldn't I just do it he same way as always?

Do I need to take any special measures?

Looks like you've only got one tie on each. I would say you just unhook from the pot and transplant as normal. We LST with paperclips and don't transplant. Once they come out of the cloner w/ roots, they go right into a 1.5 gal pot and stay there till harvest. I can't imagine trying to transplant once we've got 50+ paperclips holding her down.

1.5 gal pot do they get root bound?

I would just transplant like normal. Unhook your tie down for your LST and just transplant. As long as you don't thrash your pre-existing soil and stress out the roots you should be fine.
I have a question for you as well. Why do you do LST so early? I do LST but not till the plant is about a foot tall.
Happy growing !!!!!!

Not that I've noticed. They seem healthy the whole way through. I used to start out in .5 gal grow bags before I started w/ LST and I absolutely needed to transplant. 1.5 gal seems to be enough. This is with AK47 & BigBlue from HGS.

ok well everyone told me use at least 3 gal even if 12 12 from seed

Ya, I heard that as well. I just don't have the space for that. I think a lot of people who are short on space use much smaller pots. There are people that do grows in like 2ft cabinets. 3gal may be ideal.
