bury the pot in a bigger pot, maybe.
Hey bro did u read my answer. i said I cut the bottom of the container off and put it in a bigger pot. Hey people, there is no deficiency. The leaves are perky. they are not wilting and there are no spots. Ther is no stunting, it's growing like a weed. I realize when leaves turn yellow it indicates it needs nitro, that usually and mostly pertains to the veg cycle. I will post some pictures next week so u can see the diff.
 
1 gallon is plenty big, DONT REPOT HER!!!! She will go hermi on you. Happens a lot. Just be patient with her and leave her in the 1 gallon.

LoL to fuuny, you can repot her just fine its not a big deal, might slow growth for a few days thats all NO HERMI and NO it does not happen alot. IF you Uppot her just try to make it the last time sicne she is already 4 weeks in, you dont want to have to do it again.

Plants are not china dolls, and they do not go hermi becuse you snezzed. Either way goog luck and let us know how it goes.

your leaves are very lime green. that means they need nitrogen. those leaves are the plants main and most effecient energy producers. what makes more sense, let all those leaves yellow and slowly die robbing the plants energy producing potential or giving some nitrogen heavy nutrients in flower once or twice when the leaves start to yellow and die off and those leaves staying healthy and making as much energy possible for the plants o put into new growth? that whole leaves dying in flowering being normal is a bit of a myth, sure a few will normally, that happens occasionally in veg too though as when a plant considers a leaf too damaged or old to keep around anymore it will drop it.

No. It is flowering, it needs phosphorous. Read the book. It is using every ounce of energy to produce my colas. I just read the Bible and Jorge Cervantes book and what is going on is totally normal

It needs both. right now its got plenty of p and needs some n. grow books are right when they say they need higher p levels in flower but the leaves dying any more than a week or 2 from the end is not. im not saying to give them nitrogen from here on out or anything. im saying 1 time to keep those leaves around for a few more weeks till the natural die off does start.:peace:bongsmilie

Repotting wont be a problem as long the main tap roots as are left in tact, did some transplanting on a 2weeks flowering auto which is more prone to hermieng and stress, but was alright if done right, And as you mentioned cutting the bottom and planting is also not a problem...
Regarding the lime green leaves, many growers who use FFOF experience this but the plants turn out healthy.
:peace:

Man, I would NOT transplant/re-pot what-so-ever! There's probably a 90% or better chance you'll either put her in such a state of shock she'll probably turn Hermi on you, OR she'll simply die. Usually when those main roots get through the bottom holes you'll find that there's a tremendous (like 100:1) amount of smaller, supplemental roots that feed these main ones. I sometimes will do a "thinning" of massive, explosive roots because they do take over and utilize all that space for themselves which takes away that valuable access of getting the Oxygen to those roots. Almost every strain I have ever grown has flowered just like what you describe. In a strain that's, lets say, 8 weeks to flower 1-2 weeks the lady shoots and stretches to gain height and thus the best access to those bud sites for the pollen. She'll gain a large height increase (near 50% more), show a tendency towards more firmness in the buds as she packs more and more buds on. Then you'll notice her slow down about 1/2 way through and literally stop production. Then POW, she'll burst forth again packing more weight and Trichomes. Then the last few days she leaps one last time to try to gain one last attempt, a burst of growth for "more exposure". All this is normal as if the plant knows she isn't getting laid but tries harder just the same. Good luck to you; you'll do just fine. Don't mess with the roots unless you know exactly what to do. Life blood of the plant and you can really mess up...
i highly doubt it would die.
