This is the root ball of my Blue Widow I harvested today. She was 3 months old (1 month veg and two in flower), under a 600w HPS, less than three feet tall, and in a 5 gallon bucket. I re-potted her 3 times since seed and her roots STILL completely filled the 5 gallon container. Never underestimate the hidden growth going on underneath the soil. As far as pots go - the bigger the better.

Very true. I have repotted 5 of mine into the 5 gallon aero/smart pots and they appear to be doing better than the ones I have in smaller pots. (2-3 gallon) I will be growing all of them in 5 gallon smart pots next time with less plants in my tent to focus on more growth per plant. Mine are about 2 months 2 weeks old and are day 25 of flowering. Is it too late to repot? I haven't been able to up to this point due to space and I will be having some space free up in my tent now that I have re-done it.
