    First grow.
    Some info:
    Biobizz Soil.
    Biobizz Nutes. (started a week ago)
    Day 22.
    I have a pH problem.
    Can't really move the plant anywhere else.

    As you can see, the roots are growing out of the box. I transplanted from a smaller pot last week, this was a big upgrade and in the week it's already reaching the bottom. I hardly have space for a bigger pot, I'd have to do some hunting to find a pot to fit the box to its maximum size. I really don't have much space. I wanted to do some LST because of the limited height, I did do some topping and wanted to do 4 way LST but the branches arent big enough to tie down yet. I don't have much vertical space. I should go into flowering today, I know it's a small plant but I was never expecting ounces and ounces from the yield, it is what it is. It's still going to triple in size during flowering.

    Do I have to transplant? A deeper pot?
    If not, should I cover the holes so the roots aren't exposed to the light?
    Does anyone know if root growth is slowed down once in flower to promote bud growth?

    And a pH problem that I will address ASAP:

  2. you really should repot it because the roots are running out of space to grow. is there any way a slighly bigger pot is posible?
     

  3. Is it the depth that is most important? The deeper the pot I get the less space I will have for flowering, as you can see it's very limited as it is.
     
  4. I wouldnt really say depth but the all around size. I had a plant a long time ago that it's roots ran out of space and it's like the plant just quit getting bigger then it took off when i repotted it. so i dont think it's just the depth but the all around size. try and get some more opinions but that's what i think haha.
     
  5. Thanks for the input, appreciated.
     
  6. Does anyone know if root growth is slowed down once in flower to promote bud growth?

    Just did some LST.

    I'm guessing I have to transplant and can't use this pot to harvest?
