Routbound...Again...

[indicloset]

Alright, this cannot be normal...I was about to start flowering my plants, but they seemed a bit droopy the past couple days so I looked at the drainage holes and the damn roots are coming out the bottom.

I just transplanted from 1 gal to 5 gal pots 11 days ago!

How is this possible? Has anyone else had this problem? I just switched to Pro-mix HP soil since they seemed to outgrow the 1 gal pots really fast as well. The strain is chemo by the way. Indica.

What should I do...I cannot have huge bins of soil taking up all my space... I dont see how people are growing the whole way through in 1 gal pots, they last me about 2 weeks tops.

roots coming out the bottom does not meen the plant is rootbound. roots naturally grow down the sides to the bottom 1st then fill in the middle over time. so roots comming out the bottom can happen only a few days after repotting. don't worry about it.

Alright, that makes sense...and it is actually the same thing my fiance suggested (damn I didn't want to admit she was right, LOL) I just thought it is a bit of a coincidence that every one of the plants started looking droppy at the same time that I saw roots at the bottom. I mean, now a couple of them are really, really droopy. And one has seemed to stop growing almost. They looked great and very perky up until this point.

Hey closet,

Rootbound during flowering is not a bad thing. You want the plant to be putting energy into growing buds, not roots. So go ahead and flower!

Don't know about the droopy leaves, sorry bro. Good luck.
