Hey quick question... Should I transfer this girl to a bigger pot? I'm just wondering or if I keep it in their I will need to fertilize for it's roots to get all the energy it needs or what... Thanks. ^_^

haha dorm room life or somethin? respect your roots. give them space and watch it flourish up top. keep it confined in that pot when flowering comes around and its going to be deficient. its all up to your grow space though, probably should have started that with a full pot of soil

Most definately, like themda said, you should have filled your pot a 1/2" from the brim...Your plant looks healthy but it won't for long if you don't get her into a bigger container...

Ope lol Haha No I just brought it into my house to take the picture. I'm currently growing outside at the moment and maybe i'll just add more soil and then when the bud starts to pop up i'll give it some bloom booster for that extra kick. So overall, keep it in that pot and let it flower in it as well?

You transplant when the plant is rootbound....or at least thats the only times I've ever done it. Don't see a reason to do it otherwise

how are roots going to grow up into the top layer of soil? i dont think it works like that with just adding on top

If you were to have same strain same nute same everything side by side 2.5 gallon pot next to 5 gallon the bigger pot will always kick ass . That's why a lot of people don't even bother with 5 gallon buckets . Just think of it like your plants root system should be aloud to get twice as big as the plant you want to grow . I started with 25 gallon totes and have had no over/ under watering issues and no nute burns to speak of yet . I think the bigger pots are helping with these issues . I would make them as big as you can fit in your area your working with . Just remember all things being the same except pot size , the bigger pot kicks ass every time . Seems like it's one of the cheeper parts of the puzzle i don't know what anyone who is not stealth growing would grow in such small pots . I am just a beginner so my info is just from research not experience .
