rootbound dilemma

Hi guys


I am in my third week of 12/12 and the leaves are starting turn yellow. Reading the posts on the site my plants are rootbound. Increasing the pot size will increase the height but I have limited space. Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks

You really need to transplant into larger pots.if the pots are too small. What size pots and what size plants?

Ok, i decided to transplant them to a bigger pot last night. I have a couple more inches until they reach the top of the grow space. 3rd week of 12/12, so another 5/6 weeks to go. How much bigger are they likely to grow?

Depending on the shape of the plant's i might advice "super-cropping" to lower the height of your plant's,but i would need to see a good side view pic. before suggesting it.

Top of your space or to your lights? depends on lights you have but that sounds like your really pushing for space now:(

I have four white widow, first time with strain. They seemed to need a lot of space. Of the four, 2 are below the light and 2 are above inches away from the 'ceiling'. Also I am using envirolites.

Your root growth will slow down when your plants start to flower. Unless it's an emergency of some sort, I wouldn't transplant this late into flowering. You don't want to do anything that will shock the plant at this stage.

Your plant will also stop stretching soon. But I have had some sativa strains that will grow out of control. I've had to bend the plant and tie it down to keep it under height. LST is your friend at this stage of the game.

Well I have already transplanted them. How much of an effect will this have on my plant's health/harvest?
