7 week flower root bound

Dcheald · Sep 26, 2014

I have a silver haze a few days before the 7th week of flower, bottom leaves are turning yellow dying off I didn't have a nitrogen problem which was sorted

Seems as tho she has got root bound as roots are coming out the bottom off the pot

Should I repot or leave her??

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't transplant this late into flower. As long as her leaves aren't all wilted, it isn't root bound

What do you think is the problem, nitrogen or maybe lock out?

Well what are you feeding? Looks a little over fertilized to me, nitrogen def would yellow from bottom up and too much n will cause that clawing you see. I would back off the feeding a little, how close are you to harvest and how healthy do the buds look?

That's a picture of a bud, feeding 2L water with a mix of 2Ml DutchPro A/B, 2Ml bio bizz and 4ML of AN Overdrive twice a week and flush once a week and its 3 days from the 7th week of flower

you can transplant if you want it wont really hurt anything but I wouldn't expect it to help much either.

do you know what the PPM of the nutrients solution is that your feeding? looks hungry but hard to say without some more details.

No don't know the ppm I missed my last feed but fed the day after and within a day she was dry that's why I was thinking towards root bound/hungry

generally that late in flower root development has slowed quite a bit..i mean roots still grow but its not like in veg where if the plant gets root bound it will stop growing.

can you link the nutrients your using?

Dcheald · Sep 26, 2014

How do you mean link... As in post links to what they are?

I looked it up, I really don't like giving advice on these sorts but you either have a deficiency (which is m thoughts) or a lockout due to PH reason...if you can check your soil PH somehow that would be a good start.

for under 50 bucks you can get a PH pen and a PPM pen, another 20 bucks will buy you the calibrating solutions.

even for soil growers it is nice to have them so you can test you water before you feed.

Don't think its a lockout as I've got a PH pen and always between 6.5 to 7.0 and after flush run off is always at 7 I did have a similar problem at the beginning so added N and it went away... However after missing than feed she.went down hill.... Also how long would you say she has left?

yeah from looking at charts seems your dosing with the min dosage....7 weeks into flower they are using them nutrients up..if you can test that PH of the soil I would do it, if it comes back in the proper range I would increase nutrients. by 50% for now.

RetiredMatthebrute · Sep 26, 2014

hard to tell from the pic but still looks like she has a ways to go...a lot of white hairs

Thank you so much still quite a newbie, I was going my the recommended dose on the bottles so your saying it's safe to got 4ml per 2Litre and 8ml overdrive per 2L

I would try 3 ml A 3 ml B (which is the max dosage), not sure what the bio bizz is doing for you since its organic and if your not running benificials in the soil it may not be breaking down well so I wouldn't increase that..and then stay with the 4 ml of over drive.

baby steps...in all honesty I would cut the bio biz right out of the equation and stop using it for now.

Thanks I will try that and would you flush before the next feed?

a god flush never hurts anything. just increase nutes slow in case its not the issue you don't want to over do it, after you increase dosage you should see a difference in a couple days.
