hi everyone.. new to the site but been growing for a while now.. i have alway grew in the ground but this year i had to get a new spot and there was so many roots i said the hell with it...well i went out and got 34 10-15 gallon containers and put my plants in there. they started off awesome and now its like they hit a wall.. i am using fox farms soil, fox farms trio pack, and some but guano here and there.. i have pure power plant, big bud and early girl..i think some are already root bound and some arent.. i read that males will have a bigger and a quicker root system than females.. anyways any suggestions out there....thanks,...

Where do you live. PH may need to be adjusted in the water and soil for optimum nute uptake. Its way to.early to flower and sometimes theyll pause and then explode. But im imguessing its not notgetting all the nutes. You shoukd ahve a soil.test kit for this. I had really high ph like 8 and my plants stopped growing so i baught a ph soil test kit adjusted with a flushing of ph 5 water and it balancd out to about 6.5 and a week later she was growing like crazy. But pics would help as well as some more basic info. You also should have posted in plant problems but water with a ph of around 6.5 and you should get back ontrack. Also stress will slow growth at times. Post some more info like how far north you are but it could be nothing at all sometimes theres a couple weeks where they slow. How old are they. How much sun. What nutes, when do u feed em. We need more info. Also let the soil.dry befor watering FF is very airy and oxygen is key for a speedy growth.
i live in middle tn... i do need to get a soil test kit.. i guess ebay will have them. i will try and post some pics here in a couple of days. its raining and im hoping to get a good flush in... thanks for your help.. i germinated the plants the first week in april.. so maybe im just a little impatient...
finally got some pics... they are 2 months old... are they average size or what.. hope im just paranoid...View attachment 2668034
