as you should with 7 weeks veg. i do about a 8 week veg and have simmilar results about 8-10 oz per plant but thats not what we are talking about the general fact is that this guy has a nitrogen deficiancy wether it be from being so called root bound or not its a nitrogen deficiancy and he will set back his plant more by transplanting or he can keep it growing aand not stall by just giving it what it needs......nitrogen

it does look like a young plant but it was intentionally starved to show what a nitrogen deficiancy looks like

That plant would have done alot better in fresh dirt...i can look at that plant a see the potential it didnt reach.
Were do you get the idea that transplanting will set a MJ plant back???
For that photo I just took... I pulled my plant and rootball out of my potter didnt shock my plant...I didnt hurt the rootball or the plant.....
the key is you have to know what your doing or have alot of practice at it

There is such a thing as root bound, and it affects ALL plants in the same manner.
If you can see roots at the outer edges of your root ball, you're about to be root bound.
THE ONLY SITUATION IN WHICH ROOT BOUND DOES NOT MATTER IS HYDRO/AERO/BUBBLEPONICS, for obvious reasons - you give the roots a chance to breathe after giving them nutes, whereas in soil things will get stagnant and eventually compacted with time and repeated waterings.
When you grow in soil, root-binding becomes a massive problem. I just had to transplant a Sweet Basil plant because of it being root-bound and requiring constant watering.
Also - this is definitely root bound bud. The uniform yellowing across the entire plant and not just older leaves is the giveaway - those plant roots need some aeration and space, ASAP.

Dude giving it some Nitro wont help... pop your ball out

If your plant looks like this after cutting your lights for 2 weeks....do think after 3-4 weeks more it will be better??? NO

Again, that is definitely root bound.

ya ask for help... we give it to ya .....a horticulture teacher comfirms the answer.....
Mabey you dont like the answer given......even though you have never popped your root ball out of the potter to comfirm this problem
I guess the old saying is true...ya can lead a horse to water ...but ya cant make him drink
I was just trying to help you make your plant healthy like this one...its at the same point yours is

yea the root may be rotting, or its a nutrients deficency, could mean that u used to much Nutrients, or it could be that the plant is not getting enough nitrogen.iv found that to give the plant more nitrogen pee a little in ur water and water the plant it may sound crazy but i have had results. the more i thnk about it thou im goin to say its the roots they may be rotting only water wen real dry!! if that helps good luck

Your other plant is likely bigger because it had smaller and more spread out roots which took up loads more surface area, and the other short one has some thicker roots that dig deeper. This happens often, and it's unpredictable in occurence.
A thorough examination of the root balls of each after harvest will tell your story. Or, alternatively, you can just stick your finger all the way into the soil. You may find roots at the top or you may find roots much further down. Or after harvest just wash the rootballs off, you'll easily see where from when you transplanted.
I just finished a harvest on a plant that was 22 inches tall, yet it only had a four inch deep root system with just one large kind of taproot with other smaller ones coming from that. I had another that was just widespread and thin roots that penetrated all over the place, yet it never grew any taller than three inches.
Take it as you get it - just transplant and quick!

This isn't a Nitrogen problem. Nitrogen starts from the bottom leaves, tips first, and works in, then up. That is the natural transport direction of nitrogen in a plant, from old growth to new.
No real sign of a deficiency here, because the yellowing is uniform across the plant entirely, there are no weak-looking areas, no burn spots, no ram-horning, no deformed new growth. Yet there is drooping, and heavy at that, like an overwater. In those 2-liter bottles, were that hydro system that large of a plant could live in there no problem, but soil, not good. It's gotten root-bound and it needs to be transplanted. Roots are likely at the bottom, and once that happens it's time to move the plant to another container, because soon enough they'll be at the sides and then it's crowding time.
