haha dorm room life or somethin? respect your roots. give them space and watch it flourish up top. keep it confined in that pot when flowering comes around and its going to be deficient. its all up to your grow space though, probably should have started that with a full pot of soil

Most definately, like themda said, you should have filled your pot a 1/2" from the brim...Your plant looks healthy but it won't for long if you don't get her into a bigger container...

Ope lol Haha No I just brought it into my house to take the picture. I'm currently growing outside at the moment and maybe i'll just add more soil and then when the bud starts to pop up i'll give it some bloom booster for that extra kick. So overall, keep it in that pot and let it flower in it as well?

No ... themda said best don't keep it in that pot. Bigger pot = more pot! cn

You transplant when the plant is rootbound....or at least thats the only times I've ever done it. Don't see a reason to do it otherwise

If you were to have same strain same nute same everything side by side 2.5 gallon pot next to 5 gallon the bigger pot will always kick ass . That's why a lot of people don't even bother with 5 gallon buckets . Just think of it like your plants root system should be aloud to get twice as big as the plant you want to grow . I started with 25 gallon totes and have had no over/ under watering issues and no nute burns to speak of yet . I think the bigger pots are helping with these issues . I would make them as big as you can fit in your area your working with . Just remember all things being the same except pot size , the bigger pot kicks ass every time . Seems like it's one of the cheeper parts of the puzzle i don't know what anyone who is not stealth growing would grow in such small pots . I am just a beginner so my info is just from research not experience .

Why would you want to wait until the plant is rootbound. That plant is headed for rootbound obviously. Transplant

Do you think its makes a big difference? Not being a smart ass either, serious question.

IMO waiting until the plant is rootbound will stress the plant a lot more than transplanting... I wasn't being a smart ass so im sorry if the reply came off that way....
