Wat up RIU? Heard this is the site cause you MFer's are really dopes:lol: This plant in question is 3.25 weeks into flowering, 3.8 gallon pot they call a 5 gallons ffof. The leaves are perk but the tips point downward some more than others but their all perk? I adjusted the color using windows pic edit so it don't loook like it's under a hps but it is":lol:" I'm thinking a slight root bound issue but is it worth transplanting with 4 or 5 weeks left in flowering? This is the question~ Pic 5 shows it the best you can see the leaves are not drooping just the tips?

I'm a new grower myself, but my first guess would be a pH problem... If they were rootbound I think the entire leaf would be decending downward(drooping)

if its not a PH problem, it might be a nute problem. 5gal pots should be fine for any plants.

Thanks for the response but I'm still going to check the roots when I water in a day or 2 maybe 3. It was root bound 6 weeks ago in the 1.5 gallon pot so it's been in the 5 gallon pot for 6 weeks and 2 days. I'm so sure it's root bound I going to buy a bag of ffof in advance. So it's here in the morning when I water, you don't want to do till it's time to water or other wise you'll get an over watering issue. I can't see transplanting being a problem unless I F it up by breaking a stem or the main root or whatever. If I'm right I'll update you if I'm not right oh well. I'm doing it no matter what!:lol:

your plants look normal to me its ok for just the tips to hang,mine always do that,as long as the rest of the leaf it pointed up and not deformed looking it means theyre "happy"
p.s nice grow,and you can see in my profile pic the leaf tip hangin down like yours at the top left im almost 3 weeks into flower

your fine man, they wont ever outgrow the 5gal pot lol. water only when the topsoil is dry and nute every 2 watering. if you only transplanted a few days ago, i would highly advise against checking your roots. the more you mess with your plants the more problem it has. especially something as fragile as roots
