Do my plants roots have enough room?

[Hedonisticpsycho]

Good afternoon everyone. I have a question I’m hoping someone can help me out with.

I have grown my plants from seeds in “amended soil”. They started in sole cups in late April indoors. They were transplanted to 1 gallon pots, then 2 gallon pots and finally into 5 gallon cloth pots.

I have topped them twice. I’m in southern Ontario so they will finish flowering in early October.

I’m concerned that they don’t have enough room anymore in the 5 gallon pots. Since I’ve topped a few times, my main stems are thicker than any plant I’ve grown before.

I fertilize once a week and I water once every three days, depending on weight.

The soil pulls away from the sides of the pots when it is dry.

Thoughts. Thank you.

I have done lots of experiments on pot size if your vegging in 16 to 18 hours of light need big pots if plants. are vegging on 12 12 can use lot smaller pots an still get good yields

I personally think our door plants need much bigger pots. Outdoor I like 20 gallon pots or bigger..I also don't really like fabric pots outside, they dry out way to fast where I live, plus every time you move them you disturb the roots. I am in Colorado though. Much different weather than you

Put em in the ground/bed or use air pots, figure the plant should never be 2x+ the size of the container, with air pots you can have 10 footers in 1 gal but more medium is always better
