she is showing signs of being rootbound is this creating/helping the problem? is it to late to transplant at this point?

so what does the downward curl mean ive seen all kinds of stuff about upward curl and side to side but not down

also 5 weeks in its a 10 week strain or so from what ive researched about it is there enough time to do anything

ehh, may do more harm than good. well i always get a downward curl after i water then they perk up again. may be a lil over watering
 
i am no expert but i have grown in soil alot.at five weeks into flowering your plants are blocking out most nitrogen and sucking up the phosphorus and magnesium ,that is why leaves turn yellow and die off.from what i see in the pics they look fine. as long as the buds and sweet leaf look good you should be fine.

nah, its because most flowering nuts have minimal nitrogen, and the buds are sucking the leaves yellow for energy, which nitrogen provides them with. you can have green leaves til the last week or two of flowering you so wish to have. im going to give mine nitrogen till about week 5. maybe 6.

and the buds and new growth look great nice green color sticking straight out its the older fan leaves that are dying off just seems fast to me cause the og kush didnt do this at all same room/regiment. only difference is i transplanted the og into a 10 gallon before flower not the herijuana

but the buds are fattening nicely now not really seeing slowed growth or stunting from it being rootbound

well that may be because they are different strains and they can react completely different to what you do to them and what you did to previous plants or strains
