Plant is looking limp for past 2 weeks

[Shawn Dotson]

I just watered yesterday 10th. Before that the last time I watered was 6th. I let plant dry out pretty much before watering. I honestly don't believe its being over/under watered. Plant is about 2 1/2 months in veg and has been topped 2x. I have roots showing up at bottom of pot and I am wondering is this problem being caused from being root bound. Any help on why my plant looks weak and limp would help.
I use foxfarm soil and the 3 jars of crystal nutes. (on jar 1) When I feed I use about 1/3 of the tiny scoop end in a gallon of water.

Should I transplant into a bigger pot maybe even though im a little over 1 week into flower?
Currently in a 5 gal pot.

Sorry lights are on...

I would agree, potbound maybe. I would put her into bigger pot and go from there. One of mine was looking like that so I transplanted her into bigger pot. She took about 5-7 days to get back on track again...

I just bought a 10 gallon as the 15 gallon one I bought a few days ago just looks insanely too big. I also just watered yesterday so I will now have to wait several days before attempting to transplant into a bigger pot. Thanks for input though. Im also guessing this is what happened to my last plant. because roots starting showing up at bottom of pot at 4 weeks flower and slowly died out by 7 weeks. then stupid me puts next plant into 5 gallon pot again. Anyway will try and put into 10 gallon pot when she dries out some. Any other suggestions or opinions are welcome.

Maybe I am over watering?

Watered this month. 1st 4th (very hot dry days) 6th then the 10th
I did shove finger down in dirt before watering each time and plant was very dry each time down about 2 inches. Felt little to no moisture at all and pot was light.

When they are in flower they consume less water... Try going longer between waterings, don't panic. Obviously if they start to wilt then they need watering but try to let the pot get drier and when it feels light then give her a good drench and/or feed...

i must have an unusual room cos mine use at least 50% more water in flower.
sounds more like an environment prob than the plant being pot bound, never seen any of my plants droop because their root bound, as long as the media is damp, even when i've had trouble getting the plant out of the pot.
also when you repot check for critters in/on the root ball

I suppose it is strain dependant but mine don't seem to like as much water when in flower as my last run, but then again, I am on an indica dom this time around rather than a Sativa dom which was the last run....

What do you mean you're using"three jars crystal nutes"

What do you mean you're using"three jars crystal nutes"

You know... Cha Ching, Beastie Blooms, Open Sesame

I also every now and then toss in some kangaroots and microbe brew and a few other things but mainly just use the crystals instead of the liquids.

5th grow and so far the only one the produced worthy smoke was use of just the crystal trio with a little of the lighter helper liquids. Everything else ended in weed I gave away because it was just to shit for me to smoke.

Those are additives to be used with the liquids a couple times each during flower. I don't know if they have any micro nutes in them or not, but the npk ratio will cause a lock out. Once that happens salts build's up in your medium not allowing the roots to absorb water. That could be why your leaves are drooping.

That is exactly what it was. I guess roots coming out of the bottom of the pot should have been a good clue. Went from 5gal to 10gal and its doing much better.. perking right back up and getting greener. I thought 5 gallon pot would be big enough to last out 3 months... guess not.

My plants go nuts during flower. They drink water like no other time.

Ive seen plants sag like that when they are new to 12/12 from 18/6 or 24/0. When was pic taken? Start of light cycle?

The pot looks too small. looks like it is ready for a 25 gallon pot. You may be under watering. You can get a soil moisture tester thing for about $7.

If the leaves are sagging badly and bend, a fellow I know who worked at a grow said get that high concentration Hydrogen Peroxide. HO20 (23%) or something for root rot. Maybe try a little cheap hydrogen peroxide from the drug store.

You might also have root lock. That Recharge stuff is good and a little goes a long way.

Bro i have flowered plants in 1,2 and 3g pots, anything over 5g is a complete waste if your only doing a 3 month cycle.
Where the branches purple or dark reddish?
