the roots are now growing out of the top of the soil its a 2 gallon pot and the plant is 5 feet tall also the soil is nearly dry 2-3 inches down after 1 day of giving it a quarter gallon of distilled water

You've got some real bound roots man. I would advise you to transplant it into at least a 5 gallon container. You can bury it as high on the stem as there are no leaves. Don't pack it. Just water it in. You'll need some plain potting soil with NO ADDED NUTES. Hehe, that's important.

Put about 4 inches of course gravel in the bottom of the container. It'll help with drainage. Make sure there are plenty of holes in the bottom of the container also.

Good luck man. Let me know how you do, ok?
 
wow that was intense i just transplanted it in to a 5 gal bucket though i was gonna kill my plant trying 2 get it out i managed to do it without killing it i also added varcumlite at the bottem for better drainage how tall do you think it will get? its allmost week 3 sence the first sign of white hairs it went from a foot and a half to 4 feet in just about a month how much taller do you think it will get now that i added it to a huge bucket with mroe soil

thanks for the advice

It sounds like you have about another month or perhaps a little longer to go before harvest.

Can you post some pics?
 
5 gallons???? A little excessive imo, but hey to each their own. a 3 gallon container is really all that is needed to flower in , in most cases. Anyways the plant shouldn't get much taller, but giving it the extra foot room will def help in the yeild department. Good luck

With having seen no pictures of the plant, I think it's best to err on the side of caution.

No idea how much longer the plant will be in this container, so I think giving it plenty of room is a good idea.
