i have 5 plants in a 5 gallon pot that i am about to transplant. theyre a couple of weeks into flowering. One of their tops just fell over this morning. Is this because of the container and in which case translplant right away? Or am i missing something?

^^it does. dude, did you try to bind them up so far? just hang a string from the celling and tie the tip to it to get the head straight or use bamboo sticks to support the plants a bit...

i was just going to put them into another bigger single pot, i want to put them in individuals but i planted them too close together (d'oh) and am affraid the roots are tangled with eachother.

Any thoughts on this? The other single pot is about twice as big. Will that do?

damn man you got yourself in a mess... Im thinkin, just let the soil dry out really dry, then go for the root seperation, get some kind of transplant formula to help with the stress. Superthrive is ok to use, but there are better ones out there. But I would try and separate the roots, otherwise you may end up with the roots killing each other. Up to you tho : )

I would use a small garden (hand) shovel.

I would scoop straight down trying to make a circle around each plant splitting the diff in soil between each.

Personally I would do this with the soil soaked so that it would stay clumped.
Good luck not really it isn't that hard.

Happy growing
