Rootbound

if im flowering will buds stop/slowly grow if rootbound? :joint:

You should always transplant your plants to a bigger pot if you are growing in soil 1 to 2 weeks before flowering then flower them. This will help prevent rootbound

well im in flowering and have bin for about 2-3 weeks. but will it make buds not grow?

it will restrict output somewhat, I'd transplant, it's not too late and believe or not you can untangle those roots too without causing much stress.

What size pots are you using, and how big are your plants? Maybe they're not rootbound, and it's another problem?

FrostickZero · May 21, 2011

Depending how you grow it you can have a big plant in a small pot. I had a plant that was about 2 feet tall maybe taller in a 4 inch pot

its in a 5 gallon i can see roots at the bottem. its my first time flowering and i see alot of white hairs if u wanna see pics i have some in older post i posted

Pics always help, for sure. If they're in 5-gallon pots, it's not likely they're rootbound, unless they're huge. Roots will poke out the bottom of just about any size pot you use, unless it's a swimming pool or something.lol I'm guessing your problem is elsewhere, or maybe there isn't even a problem at all?

highly unlikely yer rootbound in a 5 gallon pot unless you vegged for over 2 months.

My plants always seem to 'stall' at around week 4-5, then take off again, not long afterwards. I'm hoping that's what's going on, in your case.

A five gallon pot? You should be fine. How big is your plant? Is it a Sativa/Sativa dominant hybrid?

shitty webcam pic

here are some better pics what do u guys think for first cfl grow

Why are you chopping your leaves? Other than that, it looks fine.

FrostickZero · May 21, 2011

A pic from the side to see how tall it is would help alot more but with CFLs a 5 gallon pot should be more then enough for more then 2 months

xrob420x · May 21, 2011

this is from a few days ago dont think it grew much since lol

jawbrodt · May 21, 2011

They look okay to me, and definitely not rootbound. How many weeks of 12/12? I'd guess about 3?

xrob420x · May 21, 2011

ya around 3-4 ish im only useing like 72w worth of cfls im looking to buy more but i cant find over 26w each all 2gether i think its like 6200 lummins

FrostickZero · May 21, 2011

Yea it doesn't look like its rootbound but when growing alot of people start in a small pot and increase the pot size over time once the roots become to big.
