Should I repot if I'm rootbound in 5th week of flower? I'm growing in 6x6 botanicaire coco coir bags. My plants are about 3 1/2 feet tall and the colas are forming up but I think they have slowed down and small leaves want to wilt or droop. I flood and drain with about 3 inches getting submersed 4 times a day. If I repot now will I just be wasting effort or can I expect my plants to respond? My ph has started to run alkaline and I have to re ph every morning and I think I'm starting to get nitrogen excess showing in about half my plants.

Rootbound in flower?

Hi Johnny. Yeah, I should have. Just didn't know. I thought the planter size only mattered if you were top feeding (newbie mistake). I had read that root growth should be mostly stopped by now which is why I am not sure if it will help. Wondering if anyone has experience if it would help.
This is my feed chart via Canna http://www.cannagardening.com/growguide
I also add Cal/Mag 400ml for 35 gallons and just 3 days ago i added 70ml of Plantacillin. I try to keep my PH at 5.8-6.0 Two days ago I added 100ml of PK 13/14 I kept that conservative from what they say because I was still in week 4 but have read that using it for atleast 3 weeks instead of 1 week would be better. So as of today my EC is 2.6 x 500=1300ppm

They look under developed to me also. My trichromes are a lot further along at week 5.
I use bio canna nutes (with my guano molasses teas sometimes). thats it.
with four plants under a 600w hps i average qp a plant with triple deez and fire alien strawberry. if people try and tell you canna sucks don't listen. other than using a living soil this is all i would use. for ur growing application it will be different.
i use the bio canna soil too

ur plant looks like it needs something to help promote flower growth. in week 5 this is when my sativa dominant stops getting 1/4 strength veg and i feed 15/ml per gallon of the flores.
In veg i only use 8 ml per gallon of the vega. because the flores has reduced n i can pump up the amount of feed.
Good luck man and ICMAGers are here to help.

I've got 15 plants in my room flooding on 4X4 table. I'm sure that if I had started in 3 gal smart pots they would be better but I thought the 1 gal plastic bags were all that was needed (live and learn). I would repot now but don't want to needlessly shock them if it won't help.
