I bet it is light deficiency, you grew it big to get more out of it, but if you leave it how it is under those lights it can be a limiting factor. If it was getting more light it would flower ok in that pot but it will have problems when it grows out of the zone where the lights are effective.

I'm growing it in my closet and it pretty big it's a walk in closet. Soil I'm using is foxfarm ocean forest and soil is as old as the plant 4 months and a week. I just switched 12/12 light cycle last Friday 12th.

No I had her in a 3G pot then. Moved her to a bigger pot. Plant been in the 5g pot for like 2 months now. I just wasn't sure if I had to go bigger or just finish up the flower stage in this 5g pot

What you will need to do is definately get new soil she needs that and id get a 10gallon for her because shes goingto double in size. Also is you had her in that same pot for 120 days she may have some root rot. You truly dont want that. But she

yea shes not not in bad shape but you definately have to transplant her in a bigger pot because her roots is definately bound. She needs new soil. You can transplant with in two weeks of flower but you dont want to exceed pass that time. You dont want to get good into flower than stress her out. She needs to coast smoothly so she can yeild good. What color spectrum are you using 2700k?

Youre going to need a scrubber(inline carbon filter ) try also to keep moist towel against the bottom of the door to help minumize odor.

Also get the Apple cinnamon spray good stuff nice and strong,potent. And get a citrus mix of orange and lemon and flower scents until you are able to get you a (inline carbon filter).

Biggest pot I could find at Home Depot was a 44.7l pot which I think is 11g. Soil I used was foxfarm I had left over for when I started 4 months ago. new soil never used just been sitting. Quick question when I get my new led light would I need to get the plant used to the stronger light by reducing the light cycle so I won't stress it out to much Or could I just go straight into the 12/12 cycle?

Good move 11g pot. Hopefully you had enough to last 2 more months... With light cycle did you leave them in total darkness for 24 hrs before you switched? And good question on switching lights ill do some some quick research. But i dont believe it will cause any stress unless you got overkill wattage. You should be ok and you may need more lighting than the led. I believe you can use them together. But to me thats inconsistant.

So I just got my led yesterday and put it up but idk if I watered it to much but the leave look like the shriveled up and some of the bottom leaves fall off. Also some leaves are getting orange dots like 6 out of the whole plant besides that plant looks good any one have any clue why in the 3rd pics the leaves are like that? Should I remove leaves that have the orange dots or let plant be and keep growing?

I haven't switched lights yet but why do u have to leave plant in total darkness for 24 hour before switching?
Not a rule of mine but it made alot of sense that its good to leave it in 24 hours of total darkeness to discourage the 18/6 schedule and so the plant embraces the 12/12 schedule. But i dont think its vitally necessary though. Just makes alot of sense if it will relieve any light time changing stresses. Darkness giving it time to figure out what to do as the plant not knowing what season it is. Just made sense and i was passing it on...
