You should always transplant your plants to a bigger pot if you are growing in soil 1 to 2 weeks before flowering then flower them. This will help prevent rootbound

it will restrict output somewhat, I'd transplant, it's not too late and believe or not you can untangle those roots too without causing much stress.

What size pots are you using, and how big are your plants? Maybe they're not rootbound, and it's another problem?

Depending how you grow it you can have a big plant in a small pot. I had a plant that was about 2 feet tall maybe taller in a 4 inch pot

Pics always help, for sure. If they're in 5-gallon pots, it's not likely they're rootbound, unless they're huge. Roots will poke out the bottom of just about any size pot you use, unless it's a swimming pool or something.lol I'm guessing your problem is elsewhere, or maybe there isn't even a problem at all? :)

My plants always seem to 'stall' at around week 4-5, then take off again, not long afterwards. I'm hoping that's what's going on, in your case.

A five gallon pot? You should be fine. How big is your plant? Is it a Sativa/Sativa dominant hybrid?

A pic from the side to see how tall it is would help alot more but with CFLs a 5 gallon pot should be more then enough for more then 2 months

Yea it doesn't look like its rootbound but when growing alot of people start in a small pot and increase the pot size over time once the roots become to big.
