Ph problem

cant fit a bigger pot in my closet, im pushing it with the one i have now, if i grow again ill use compost, or grow hydro, soil is jsut to complicated

plant is almost 3 feet high, pot is 8-12"inches around and 12 inches high

Uh oh so wait, how big across is your pot, and how tall is your plant?

if my calculations are correct i have a 4.13gal pot

is this the compost your refering to stinky
compost

Dat's da shit.
So what's your plant size? How tall, and how many noteworthy stems?

Here's a pic of the shit- thanks acidboy, now I can post it. F'real, I should make that my new avatar, lol!

i counted 11 branches and 17+ budding spots with hairs already
and she is a few inches shy of 3 feet as of today

Yup, she's potbound.
Shit. Time to get creative! She's gonna at least double in size by harvest time, and will want to finish in -sorry to be the bearer of shitty news- in a 5 gallon pail.
Do you have ANY other options for a flower space?

and her i though the strech was the first 3 weeks of flowering, if i keep her in this pot what damage will it do, i dont thing the 5 ga l would work not drainage right? this is the only area i have as this grow that thrown upon me had no time to prepair, so this is my learning exp, if i deside to gro again, i seriously need to find a shorter strain

what strain is it

just reading along and curious? im having the same problem with fox farm ph levels. white widow rolling upwards slightly but no other signs of defficiency. early in veg though

rolling upwards=acute heat stress.
acidboy, damage you will see as the plant suffers being rootbound is leaves curling under like canoe leaves, difficulty maintaining a balance between def and burn, SEVERE impact on yield, and general malaise. Plus after reading this whole thread over again, I think that inadequate soil is DEFINITELY hurting your ability to maintain pH. It will also mean you will have a bitch of a time keeping the plant properly watered.
5 gallon pails do not come pre-drilled, but that's what a 1/2" paddle bit is for.
