hey everybody so I'm sexing three of my plants. Started as four but I had to remove 1 male so far. Now I have this stretched out plant that's shooting pistils as of today. This plant had been very robust until late yesterday evening when I noticed this droopy, unhappy look. I think she's potbound, but not exactly sure.

Stats here: temp 73-77 day/ 70-73 night, humidity 40-60%, lots of air moving in and out(4 fans), medium is coco/perlite ONLY and am using foxfarm nute trio plus calmag.

The first pistil I noticed was this AM but there are around 4 of these total and they look drooping as well, almost like a dead pistil, but they are white- not brown or anything. Also in addition to the droopiness I've noticed growth slowing. The male I removed was potbound like crazy and was a little smaller than this one honestly. But the roots looked so white and healthy. Should I transplant immediately? Ive TPd during flower before and everything was oK.

I originally intended to just SEX this one and put it back into veg for cloning but I don't know what to do now considering it looks like maybe genetics could be an issue with this one(drooping pistils?) and it came from brickweed. Anyway, what do you guys think?

yea i would transplant. i can see you topped it, just give it a while to recover after you transplant before you do further topping. other than that looks good and green:weed:

yep I transplanted into a 3 gal smart pot just now. My lord how rootbound that lady was. I didn't use mycrorhizae or anything and that rootball was a brick! problem hopefully solved. we'll update in 3 days. Definitely female btw, and its funny I've lucked out with 1 female on my last two grows. Both times I've grown five plants and ended up with 1 fem(so far). that 50/50 male/fem ratio sure does sound good, wish I could see it in action, but now that ive got a few grows under my belt(almost gotta take this one to harvest) I ordered some 'pure kush' from sensible seed co. Anyone have any experience with them? I get them already, just haven't planted.

3 gallon isn't enough
ive never used a 5 gallon before, but I could really tell I could've used more space on my last grow even though my plant was only 2.5 ft tall. Ive been really limited on space. I can fit 4 3 gallon smarties in there. fortunately thatll change soon ill have enough for a much larger tent in November. I wish I could grow outdoors, and just kill it with 30 gallon raised beds but I live in too urban of an area. its crazy the amount of trouble the search for the right light is when the best light available on earth is free outside.
