If you are going with those lights you should really scrog ...keep that canopy even n lights very close...it is no harder than what ya doing now..even easier with a screen to tie to.

yeah planed on it wanting to try some dehumidifying around the last few weeks of flowering.....some just told me to leave it in the 5gallon and let it go a foot more then flower saying that it will only rootbound to a point.....iam sticking with the orig plan and moving up size and flowering

leave the roots alone...

your not going to get root bound in a 5 gallon bucket with that plant... Flower it within the next week or two and your good... seseing some roots come out the bottom is normal... although most people will start out in a smaller pot and move it to bigger ones to keep roots from shooting straight down to quick...

I'd be more worried that the pot won't dry out decent with that big of a pot and small plant... I usually recommend fixing environment variables to make the pot be somewhat dry in 3-4 days... lots of ways to adjust that, bigger pot, smaller pot, big pot with more perlite, etc.... but you'll only know that once you start flowering...

I did read the thread.. and viewed the pictures...

I have some MATH, I use for calculating pot size...

1 gallon per foot + 1/2 gallon per week of veg... so far I haven't seen anything root bound using that formula...

"for the op"... I'd make sure to clean up the bottom/inside of that plant as well, that way it's nice... it will help prevent bugs, powdery mildew and such...


Here's a pic of some Og Kush I'm working on ... just finishing week 6... nice and yummy...
