2weeks into flowering and went root bound...what should i do..?

[Philnob]

My plant is two weeks into flowering and now its root bound and i want to know if i should transplant it or should i leave it alone since its not vegging anymore..or shouldi allow the roots to grow as it progresses in flowering?

Leave it alone
You will just have to water and feed more often due to it being root bound
Don't transplant, the roots won't grow much in flowering anyway

 

[Philnob]

how often should i feed it now that its flowering??

 

[tom__420]

Once out of every three waterings
plain water, plain water, feed, plain water, plain water, feed etc

i tried to transplant once during flowering and ended up stressing them bad enough to get a few balls i wont do that again !

 

[tom__420]

Transplanting the plant during flower isn't what caused it to hermie
There had to be some sort of stress on the plant because transplanting doesn't cause any stress

i agree with you cuz ive transplanted during flowering more then once and they did not hermi once

 

[tom__420]

Yeah transplanting is normally a great thing to do to allow the plant to have more room for the roots
The only thing that I noticed when I transplanted in flowering is that the roots never filled up the whole pot, you could tell the roots grew a lot less in 12/12

how do you know its roots bound? how big is the plant and pot its in?

 

[Philnob]

the pot isnt that big>>not sure of the exact size but its 13-14 inches high and the bottom of the pot measures 10inches across and the top measures 20inches or more or more across.

 

[smppro]

how big is the plant?, you can grow a pretty big plant in a pot like that.

 

[nellyatcha]

plants dont root bound yo go ask fdd he has vids on it as well

 

[smppro]

yea i never understood the root bound problem

 

[tom__420]

Root bound just means you will have to water and feed the plant more often that's all
It isn't a bad thing, it just means you will have to do a little more work to keep the plant healthy
