Is there a good reason to move the plant? If there is not a good reason, don't move it. Based on your photos that plant is very happy where it is.

remember when u transplant it, to push the dirt together thats in the gutter ( like a clump) so the the roots will be protected.
i would have but my fucking dad took it out and when he did he just pulled it out. i did my best to put it in some MG moisture control in a bucket. ill begiving it some bloom nutes tomorrow. what do you guys think?

One good reason to move it would be that the roots have nothing to hold onto. when the plant gets taller it will want to fall over without soil to hold it up, well over it goes..also a huge bush growing it the gutter will mostlikly be seen and even if its no you should get it out of the gutter it will do damage to the house b4 long. Oh and dude whats up with having enough crap in the gutters to support live anyhow lol get a ladder out and clean that mess:)

3-4 days, if u water it and u see that it looks a little droopy then you should widen the days, also make shure u cut holes in the bottom of whatever its in to let the water run through so it doesn't sit there.....also if u press "go advanced" then press the papeer clip u can upload he pics from there then press the paperclip again and press insert (i hink thats wat it says) dunno if u already knew that

Obviously the plants do have something to hold onto if that plant is as robust as those photos demonstrate.

Security is a good reason to move the plant.

First of all, like I said earlier, you probably should have just let it be. The plant was doing quite fine with no ones help. Why fix something that isnt broken?

Plants have been growing for a long time, im pretty sure they know how to survive on their own.

Hope it gets better, but either way, that much stress during flowering... not so good mate <3

Lifes a lesson, make sure you learn from it. Hope to see you growing again my friend.

Im sure you feel bad about this, and I dont want to make it worse, just want to let you in on some things, so you dont do it again.

Firstly, try and fill the soil up to the top, or use a smaller pot if you dont have adaquate soil. The bottom of the plant was shaded by the huge pot, so even if things would have went well, it would not have gotten good sunlight through out the grow.

Secondly, you should have went with the MG organic soil, that moisture control is not made for cannabis, and is loaded with time released nutrients. Even if you would have got a harvest, it would have been loaded with chemicals. I believe that moisture control feeds for up to 6 months if im right? So you would have harvested while the nutrients were still being dispersed into your bud.

Also when transplanting, you want to pick up some sort of Transplant solution that is high in phosphorus to promote quick recovery. I have done alot of transplanting without this solution and it causes the plants alot of stress, perhaps due to my own lack of skills in the task, but when I used transplant solution the plants showed almost no signs of stress. You can even use superthrive for transplanting.

I think thats about it, and once again I am not trying to bash you, Im just trying to make sure if you do grow again, you get a quality harvest.

Best of luck to the plant, and dont give up on it yet, but I have to say, now thats its in that moisture control, even if it did get a harvest... kinda scetchy. Your call however mate. But either way try and get some more soil under the plant, so the whole plant is sticking out of the container, so that the whole plant gets sunlight, and is not in a shadow.
