my plant is in the 7th week of flowering i really don't want to do anything to hurt it. It hasn't grown any , so i think it may be root bound. But like i said i don't want to do anything to hurt it. the tri-chomes are still clear. tell me if i should take a chance and repot it. also i haven't given it any nutes for the past 7 weeks just water. picture not great but that's it.
thank-you

How long does this particular strain flower for, if you know? If it were me, I wouldn't re-pot it at this point in time. Most of my plants get chopped at 8 or 9 weeks, and going by that, you have a week, or 2 left. The benefit you would get from re-potting now, in my opinion, would not be enough to outweigh the problems that you could run into with re-potting, not to mention I dont think it would be enough for the plant to do anything else this late in the game. However, if you are running a heavy sativa, which it doesn't look like you are, and had 4 or 5 weeks left to go, then yes, a transplanting would be a very good idea.

what size is the pot you are using? Looks a little too late to repot. Are the leaves yellowing? This is actually what you want...

Forwhat is right a little too late for any good. I don't foresee any problems letting her go all the way.
They will typically stop growing up and just start getting fat at a certain point in flowering, so don't be worried, just as long as them buds keep getting fat.

Transplanting now would probably do more harm than good, as the roots probably won't be stretching out much further than they already are... even if they were in a larger pot. I've also found it to be a bit easier (read: cleaner) to flush slightly rootbound plants. But, I guess you won't be worrying about that, will ya?
Nice looking plant, by the way! :jointsmile:
