Abnormaly rootbound?

How often should I be transplanting? I'v been told, Whenever its rootbound. Alright so my plant is now 4 weeks old and within the last 2 weeks it has become root bound in a 2 gallon pot.
Below are 2 images of my plant. I am going to transplant into a 5 gallon pot. I am wondering if this is fucked. People have said as a rule of thumb, 1 gallon/ foot of growth, though my plant is about half a foot and alredy needs a 5 gallon pot. I am wondering if this is normal for plants? Maby it is a side effect of the superthrive I use at every watering? Please tell me what the deal is.

How did you determine it was root bound?

I thought the same thing.

Also, with a user name of hisroyalfreshness why would you put a pic up of your long dirty hair haha. That is far from fresh lol

I flipped it upside down, took it out of the pot, and saw the rootbound.

And that picture has alot of value to me.
It is an image of my first time ever being baked.
BTW my hair is actualy very clean, I just look like a greassy asshole because of how high I was..... And still am.

how big is that container?if its as big as i think it can go the whole gro in that container .,.,.,it takes alot 4 them to get rootbound.,.,.,ive went whole grows in the smallest of pots .,.,.,wat makes u think so?

Give me a minite, I will show you how root bound that bitch is.

I can't imagine roots filling a 2 G pot so early on. IMO, that's not the norm.
I doubt the SThrive is responsible, assuming you're within recommended dosing.
It might be helpful if you could post a pic of the roots?
IDK why it's drooping. Thirsty?
If that little plants roots have filled that planter, you're in for one hell of a ride, as in it's gonna be a big grower.
Wish I could help. It's easier to TP dry . . . wet soil tends to fall apart.
Good luck, HRF

Check that shit out.

there is no such thing as rootbound if you are properly watering/nuting/flushing/phing. There are tons of people on this forum that harvest healthy, mature/heavy yielding weed out of pots the same size as yours

Well I'll be damned . . . they are ready for a bigger container. Thing is, unless you have the hands of a large giant, that's not anywhere near 2 gallons, not even one.
Looks the size of a 39 oz. coffee can
You'll want to loosen those roots a bit, or maybe score them, when you re-pot them.
Great Scott!

That's what threw us off . . . the 2 gallons in 2 weeks bit. (or whatever it was) . . . THAT'S vigorous root growth, IMO.

He mentioned in the post he was 8' 9"... did you miss that? Lol j/k

Still too short for those hands if that's two G's!

This mystery has been solved. So it turns out the real problem here was only my poor book learnin's. (I must have meant 2 litres)

Looks like it very well could be there, Your Highness.
