plant wilting for unkown reason.......

i have a pure sativa thats been in a 3 gallon pot for probably like 3 months now. I put it into flowering about 10 weeks ago and all my other plants finished and this one is just getting around to flowering. Anyway, its wilted and im not sure why. All my other plants were fine, i know im not over watering and the ph is good. I also know its not a fert buildup because i flushed it a a few times a few weeks ago and i've only fertilized it once with a light dose of fertz since then. I checked it over and its not fusarium wilt, and the roots look fine. Idk exactly what is in my well water but i do know that it is kinda hard water. Could my plant be suffering from a build up of minerals from my water? I recently transplanted it into a 5 gallon bucket and i've watered it twice with distilled water.

root bound...you should have transplanted right at the begining of your 12/12 into something alittle bigger.....if you pop your ball you'll see what I mean

oh shit never mind.....im high

pics would be really helpful, thats very strange, all i can think for the lack of flowering was if she was exposed at all to lighg during flowering in the dark period and has gotten confused and re-verted back to veg,

I put her into 12/12 at the same time i put all my other girls in 12/12 and i dont think she was completely ready to start flowering, so she was still trying to grow but was only getting 12 hours of light.
Right now she looks like shes been in flowering for maybe 2 weeks lol.This plant has had no issues at all throughout the grow untill recently. Its been wilted for about a week. i'll try to get some pics and post them up.

here are a few pics. Its been a few days since i've checked on my plant. I forgot to mention it has some slight yellowing leaves all over the plant which now seem to have dried up and one part of the plant got burnt from the light but im only worried about the wilting.

pic 5 is just leaves that got burnt from the light. pic 4 shows the wilt the best

anyone have any ideas?

Looks to me like it has some nutrient deficiencies going on. You need to feed your plants pretty regularly during flowering, so based on what you have said I would guess they need some feeding. You really need to give it a mixture that provides it with a healthy dose of N though, so most flowering nutes aren't going to get the job done without some help. Keep in mind that sativas don't really stop growing during flowering the way Indicas do, and plan to keep feeding them a veg nute all the way through their lifecycle. I personally like a mixture of 3/4 strength Dyna grow general purpose (7-9-6) with 1/2 strength jacks classis bloom booster (10-30-20) during early flowering with both dosages increasing to almost full strength by the last few weeks of flowering. The two nutes together will set you back less then $20 if you buy the smaller size bottle of dyna grow, and i can say from personal experience that it works better then the Fox Farm nutes when it comes to flowering.

I also agree that it might be rootbound. General rule of thumb is that you want 1 gallon of pot per foot of growth you expect, and keeping a Sativa under 6 feet isn't easy. I would personally use an 8-10 gallon pot for a plant I expected to hit 6+ foot, because if the roots don't have enough room to spread out keeping the plant healthy becomes nearly impossible.

I do not believe the " root bound " condition really exists. A plant will get as big as it's container allows. I have grown hundreds of plants in everything from 16 oz. starter cups to 5 gal pots and have never sen a case of " root bound ". It is a grower's myth imo.
