Growing under 3 80w CFLs In soil and the plant is 5 weeks into flowering and doesn't stink at all, you can only smell it when you're so close and I see no trichomes at all.

I don't know the strain (bag seed)

1st pic (bud pic) is recent pic
Other 2 pics are from 3 days ago
It could be the genetics of the seeds you got. Genetics are one of the most important factors when getting good results. What kind of nutes are you using, and what is the feeding schedule? Are you PHing the your nutrient feedings and alternating with PHd plain water?

These how to videos may be of help as well: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTiIG5_iRBk0-qFOi4Qbqdw

Let it get to the point you normally water. Squeeze the sides of the pot to loosen the root ball. You will tilt it sideways slightly and let any loose dirt fall out. Put the stem between middle and ring finger. Lay the pot and plant sideways and easily work the plant and root ball out. You can gently pull on the stalk.

Just don't flip it completely upside down. You can work it a little without hurting it.
ok i transplanted it successfully, it went very smoothly, the plant just popped out of the pot in shape, the roots definitely needed more space, when i got it out of the pot it was almost all roots i could barely see some soil, the roots looked white and healthy... hopefully it will turn ok

Bingo. There you go. It seemed harder to do than actually do it. How much bigger did you go?

It should straighten out now. Watch on feeding it after a transplant. Maybe water only once or twice or at least mix it weaker a feeding or two.

No problem. Keep us updated.
Hey can you pls help me,can u see trichomes? Try to zoom in, I'm not sure if those are trichomes or just hairs but it's definitely new.
And btw there is no more yellowing but it still droops sometimes and in the pic it's a bit too droopy because i haven't watered in 4 days so it's a bit thirsty I'm planning to water today

Drooping after the lights have been on for a while is normal. Look up "mid day depression" When I veg I use 18 hours light but instead of 18/6 I use a 6/2 light schedule. I get faster growth.

Water that plant. I suspect dry spots in the soil. Set the pot in a container or tote. Put a drop of soap in your water to break water tension. Water until 20% run off several times. Dump the water under the pot. The last watering let the pot stand in water for a few minutes and wick water up.

Then go back to a good watering routine.

From now on water in stages. Pre wet each pot then water a second time 10 minutes later until run off. This will prevent salt build up and dry pockets. Don't let the pot stand in water every time you water. Just now to ensure no dry pockets.

Other than that the plant looks good. You still have a long ways to go. Long ways to go.

Keep it simple, don't panic and it will be fine.
