When should I plant in bigger pot

hello fellow growers!! I need a little guidance, I finally got a plant to start growing for me. I don’t want to mess anything up since it took me so long to get it right! When should I put my plant into the 5gallon pot? And if you have any tips for me it would be greatly appreciated. Picture of my plant is posted

You’ve got a while. Are you planning on going from that to a 5? I usually do seed starters to 1 gal to 3 then 7 gal.

Yea that was the plan, so it would be best to go to a 1 gallon from here?

let it go another 12 days b4 transplant, if you know it's female throw it straight in a 5 gallon final pot. No need for the extra transplants.

And yea let it get like 5 or 6 inches tall before u transplant.. wen u do slit the cup w sharp scissors and unwrap it. U can go straight to five gal... but depending wat kind of lights and nutes ur using..ig how fast will it grow, i wld prolly go 3 gal then step it up to5 gal. Better for watering and feeding, imo..

I’m using 300w led light I got on amazon, which is a upgrade from the 60w light I was using. I’m using Miracle-Gro. I heard bad things but I also watched a video where a guy used just Miracle-Gro with one plant and some other soil for the other and they both were pretty huge! So we will see

Ok so..... from experience i will tell u all of us hate miracle gro for a reason...u have no control of when nutes are released or how much. U may have to find out for yourself like the rest of us...but u will find out. What u need, bear minimum is perlite and a decent soil, like espoma organic or even kellogs patio. U shld b able to find both at home depot. 40/60 perlite/soil. And as far as ur light... if u got it on amazon, its probably not 300w or close. Prolly 100w, it will still wrk but not for as large of an area, if u can post the exact brand of light and someone on here may b able to tell u or at least have experience using one and advice.

Also the perlite is extremely important for drainage. Without proper drainage, ur roots will suffer, much greater chance of bug problems, mold, etc. Ill b happy to explain how to grow w th bear minimum, if u have a question holla at me.

I have heard so much about Miracle-Gro but I had to try I plan on getting different soil for my other seeds to compare the two! But here is a Picture of the light info I got from Amazon

Cant get the pic to load right now, but either way like i said, im not ur guy for led. As far as the miracle gro, try it, i did at one point and so did most of us, honestly ive never had anything negatively affect a plant as bad as when i thought i cld get away w miracle gro. If u got the balls u cld try it full term as an experiment, but dont say i didnt warn u.....u want to b able to control wat goes into ur plant and when. W miracle gro its like strapping an i.v. to a newborn that releases medicine and food randomly. And if u try to flush it out, itll release more, assuming it has thos moisture slow release beads. As for the lights, i wld talk to Heisengrow, Tim1987, or hotrodharley, just cause i believe these guys kno alot about this and anything they dont kno, they wont bs you. And theyre nice people as long as ur not rude, and u dont seem to b. Peace, lemme kno if u need anything...

Also Projectinfo seems really knowledgeable w leds. And he gave me this link. Seem like really good lights decently priced

And let me not forget Roger A Shrubber... this guys gotta b 700 yrs old, cause he seems to kno alot of everything...not dissin, hes pretty impressive!!
Hope this helps!!
