Rootbound problem or something else? pics

First...sorry if you seen this post already in grow journals... posted in the wrong section :/ thought I was here.. lol

Well im 99% sure that im root bound....The first set of leaves are yellowing and drooping down(kinda) and the second set of leaves only has a smallll amount of yellowing on one fan leaf. This hasn't changed for days now.

Im in a 5 gallon bucket and unfortunately cant move to a bigger size bucket. Will this be a problem?

Ooooooor heres another possibility. The lower levels of leaves aren't getting enough light and are simply dying off? I put toothpicks up today, to lean the branches over a little so they are not shaded by the other fan leaves

I highly doubt it is rootbound. You have a healthy looking plant.

Thank you very much! This is my first real grow (successful after seedling stage lol) and I was just worrying xD I really don't want to fail now.

I doubt it's root bound at that size. Could you maybe be feeding a bit too much? Try flushing and adjusting if you haven't already.

Look like lil burn.. Other than that it look happy. Like he said flush it..

Early nute burn, with a little over watering to be sure, you don't need to fuck with tooth picks, the plant is a living being like a cat, dog, or fish, just avoid over feeding it, even a flush will go well if in doubt, 3 times the pot with air temperate, Ph neutral water, allow to recover in dim light 1x day or over night, no nutes until you see a positive recovery

Well ive only fed once (less than half recommended dose) and it was already like that before I fed her. Im using Fox Farm Ocean Forrest soil. Ill flush as suggested. Im also using distilled water, btw.

Thanks all for the replies! I wont feed her for another week or two. Should I cut off the bottom leaves? so the plant doesn't put any extra work into them? since they're pretty much dead?

Plant is feeding off of them thats why they are yellow time for you to redo some study ....lol ..lol

Definitely NOT rootbound. I grow in 3 gallon buckets from start to finish and they do fine. Looks like you've been over watering a bit

You are correct, vostok. Back to the books lol Thanks all for the replies. Appreciate the input! It may be overwatering too. I use a water bottle a day...the plant sucks up soooo much water. I do the finger test. I stink my whole index finger in, and its usually dry lol
