Feels root bound ?

[Bio boy]

Feel like these gettin root bound in their final 55l pot
there all effected now but the heavy one has biggest root all was a mother

this happened in 15 days , new soil made lush growth then bam. This started happening
the one effected I can’t even dig soil it’s so rooted everything

also drinks to dry fast , plants in a giant bed arnt effected like fast meaning I put 3litres in and she dry next day

makes me feel it wants more soil volume
I can see ca zink Potassium and iron lock
there is more than enough especially ca lol just had a ton added in the mix gypsum and lime noway they need more of that so must be drying out ??

what your views

Looks to me like there is more going on than being rootbound. The younger parts seem to be most affected so I would imagine it's a micronutrient lockout. Twisted growth, makes me think it could be a pH issue. And/or overwatering. Did you check the pH?

Twisted growth was me overwatering bro she’s grew up and corrected , I fed her 2 litres when feeding back one back from dry and put some on base she was not happy as such

I have since found she is root bound as when digging to get a ph sample from middle I can’t get my fingers in surface I had to rip roots , ph was 6.8 so for a dry medium not overly bad an hour passed and 6.7 same sample so high but not out

roots all white and a lot of fresh worm cast n this soil it’s only 2 week old they are just aggressive as fook rooted


will dropping her in the swick bed with water increase her stretch foot room ? They root out into them fast ?

also I can’t repot for room and weight on ceiling but I could get away topping the pots up to the top with 15 litres or so ? Would that class as more room also ? Or is this not going to be the same as a repot ?

option 3 cut base of fabric pot off and drop them ontop of a 15l flexi Bucket but that seems a bit of a faf
