Root bound?

kmo8762 · Dec 5, 2008

I've got two PPPs growing in 3gal pots. I'm in the 5th week of flower and i've noticed that all vertical growth has stopped. I know that they're many variations in the strain but just wasn't sure if it was related to being root bound? :mrgreen:

As far as I have read plant experience serious growth in the 2-4th weeks of flowering (in general, varies by strain), then in the last few weeks they stop growing and concentrate on Bud production. I would say you're ok. I'm using pots around the same size and have noticed slow growth but it's ok since I don't have much more space. Repotting now may stress the plants, but if you're really worried try one (i wouldn't). Just be patient.... I'm dying as I'm just in the 2nd week of flower!!

Thanks dude, I was thinking along the same lines but wasn't sure. I definitely would'nt want to repot at this stage of the game :peace:

See if anyone else chimes in, but I'd just finish out the grow. If yields are low, buy bigger pots next time... haha. I'm personally gonna attempt the DWC thing... seems too easy though.

I personally like long 5gal pots they pot-tastic!

Root bound?
