So this power plant had been starting to take a dive and I've been doing things to try and fix the problem but I am starting to come to the conclusion that the plant is rootbound. (see photo)

At first I thought the issue was too much nitrogen so I dropped my CalMag level from 400ppm to 200ppm about one week ago. Since then the problem has gotten worse so nitrogen OD is out. Right now my numbers are standing at about 1200ppm and dropping back the numbers to about 1000 did not improve the issue either. My ph is between 5.5-6.2 religously so that's not the problem either.

This morning Mr Hound and I pulled up the bucket and guess what? About six times the amount of roots normally in my buckets.....what the hell is that about? I'm thinking I've found the problem but want everyone's elses thoughts ......PLEASE.....because I don't really know what to do with this plant. I vegged this plant for five weeks before turning.....was that too long? Thoughts people?

My (simple) plan so far is to cut the nutes in half and water this thing by hand in a seperate bucket with 1/2 strength nutes and try to limp it through but I'd LOVE any other ideas. I'd hate to lose this plant but it seems to have gotten worse in a hurry and I'm just not sure what to do. (Keep in mind this plant has SEVERAL WEEKS to go until finish.)

As you can see the Dutch Dragon is unaffected (last photo) .....and actually the pruning I did on it for clone cuttings seem to have made it alot happier as well. I shall have to reconsider my rule of not pruning plants in the future (depending on situation of course)
