Strain: RQS White Widow Auto
Light: 100W Blurple LED in veg then outdoor
Medium: coco
Potsize: 7 litre plastic pot (just under 2 US gallon)
Nutes: Canna A+B, etc
Week: 8 from sprout

Hi all, first grow. So I originally planned to do the whole of this grow under the 100W(actual) blurple, where only 7 litres would have probably been find under meek light. She ended up being moved outside and has clearly enjoyed the sun. She is now in week 8 (taking her time with little sun atm) and still has maybe 3 weeks left of flowering. She is easily three times as wide as her pot in one direction and at least twice as wide in the other, she is also starting to tip over easily in the wind because of the disparity in plant/base size. (sorry I dont have a photo of the pot/plant in shot - the one below of the cola is from 3 days ago)

She doesnt seem to be showing any big stress/deficiency but if she's not rootbound now she must be close? I have a 15 litre (4 US Gallon) fabric pot I could move her up to?

I have done a couple of transplants now on smaller plants now and feel comfortable with the process but I appreciate they are more delicate during flowering

Any thoughts appreciated - you guys have got me this far!

Peeps on here grow good sized plants in solo cups with your sort of medium and nutes. I doubt you need to worry about root binding with your plant, and I would not transplant. She looks healthy, so I would just support it and/or the pot as needed to keep it pointed up, and keep feeding her.

Good luck with it. :pighug:
