Is this a problem or normal?

[ddxsinxcosxdx]

Plants are almost 5 weeks into flowering. Leaves are dying at the bottom of the plant (which I expected) but the top of a couple of plants are starting to wilt a little. I am still getting water drainage and my PH levels haven't changed so I don't think it is the water. Not using any nutrients other than what was in the potting soil. The plants have developed trichromes and they are still very clear and have not started to sit up on the "tee" I have read about.

My main worry is that the plants are starting to get root bound. Been about 6 weeks since my last transplant and with the plants being quite large at this stage of the game I really don't want to transplant again unless I have to.

Is it normal for the tops of the plants to start looking wilted?

I plan to flower for about another month, should I transplant?

Reading the form there, I guess the plant is getting hungry. You didn't use any fertilizers on the soil and it's not really too rich, MJ use up a lot of nutriments. Even people using soil with more fert in it add some to any some point in the grow or bloom cycle. The Ph of the water seems a little high (but the runoff seems fine...), do you correct it before feeding the plants ?

No, dont do anything, just pour it in a bottle then pour the bottle into the plant. I use old 2-liter pop bottles as my watering jugs.

I should also probably mention it is only the sugar leaves that are doing this at the top of the plant.

What is the size of the container and of the plant. Maybe it just to the full potential it has in this pot, some pictures may help us figure out something or just wait for someone with more experiences.

They are in 5 Gallon Buckets.

[LuciferN]

Normally you can get 1ft per gallon so the plant should be able to get to 5 ft without any problems... It might really be a problem of fert or something else hard to say witout any pictures. Wait for some more experiences grower to check out you're post, thay may be able to figure out something.

They need some ferts...5 weeks flowering with no ferts im surprised it took this long to shows signs of hunger...if you dont have any just find things around the house...molasses would be good...1-2 tablespoon/gal
Good Luck

Yep......transplant and start feeding!
