should i just take it out and repot her in a solo cup
hmm, I see so I should starve my soil from water. but listen I have two other plants doing a lot better than this like I loved this plant it was growing the best and just stopped when I transplanted her in this 5-gallon pot maybe it can't get any nuts since its small and in a big bucket???

Where are you getting this info that his big pot is the problem? You can chuck a seed in a 10 gallon if you want, it’s not going to cause this issue. Go from small to big pots to help the roots fill the space yes, but not going to turn your plant into a spastic because it’s got loads of room, just won’t have the most efficient root system.

There is also the chance that you damaged the roots when transplanting. Easiest thing would be to let the pot get close to dry. Then only water as far from the plant as possible. Forces the roots to grow in search of water. Foliar spray for a few days with a cal/mag sup. Watch for pests on the soil. Hard to make calls without the plant in hand.

no don’t stop watering it, I don’t think that is what he meant. He meant the pot size is irrelevant until it comes to overwatering or outgrowing.
id pull it, maybe check the roots and stick it in a fresh medium if you’re willing to go to that effort. Don’t let your coco get too dry, and make sure to give it a good amount of run off each watering. Do you check your runoff? Maybe drop your PH to 5.8 and keep tabs on it. Do you know your feed PPM/EC?
What medium do you grow in? Yes you can toss a seed Into a 10 gallon pot of soil and make it work.
Coco on the other hand is a soil less medium and it's a different kinda beast than soil. Tossing a seed Into 10 gallons of coco is just asking for troubles.
I wouldn't dig up those plants or anything but in the future I'd start small and work my way up.

The internet and chia pet boxes are very educational. No offense. But experience beats what you read.

and nice looking plants!

Nice. 2#+ in coco soil mix 5 gal. LOL. But we are not helping dude.
Theres advantages of small pots also. If those plants were in solo cups it would be really easy to take a ppm reading and flush out any issues.
With a big pot small plant to flush it means over watering because the roots aren't established in a huge pot.
Keeping your coco pots small makes everything easier especially when you have issues. Not saying bigger pots cant be done but makes your job harder

I’m new to growing myself, this is my first grow and these are my plants, white widows, at 12 days old growing in coco. I’ve been following a free growing guide from growpotcheaply.com he grows in coco as well and he is good about explaining things

These look good. Just remember coco requires meticulous attention to detail and consistent technique.

Back to dude. Carefully un pot the plant. Rinse with spring or distilled water. Spray the roots liberally with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Repot in fresh medium. DO NOT let the roots dry at all. Dispose of the old coco. Peroxide will kill any fungus rot and gnat eggs or larvae. Water from the edges of the pot by hand for a couple of weeks. 5.8-6.0 ph and 400-450 ppm.
