OK guys, this is my first time ever trying to grow anything, I started some headband from seed, I started them using cfls then I bought a sun system 150w hps, they seem to be growing good, the first transplant I buried five inches of the stem, the leaves of the plants are huge, lots of foliage, not even two weeks after transplant the roots were already bound in the 2 gallon pot, so yesterday I transplanted them into five gallon pots, they seem a lil droopy ( that's how I noticed that they were getting root bound, it's been two days since transplant and they still seem a lil droopy, is that because of the huge leaves being heavy?

They might be a bit over-watered....burying the stem is fine. They seem
to be doing OK. I think that you just need to let them be, to dry out a bit,
and then see how they look.

Good luck,

You'll be alright. Less is more, easy to think you see something wrong when you are always peeking in the garden lol.

Good luck

It was probably transplant shock.
What makes you think they were root bound when you potted up to 5gal pots?

look pretty good and healthy, probably just a result of the transplant as corey stated and should rebound from the transplant in a few days time. Next watering you could water around the outer edge of the container and make the roots expand in their search for water.
