Repotting autos in flower

Hey! Fellow growers. I had a question that I have been wondering if it’s possible to do or a good idea.

I have a autoflower growing in fox farm ocean. And it’s in the early stage of flower(no buds yet) just the little white hairs are visible so far. However the plant has a lot of deficiencies”more than 1“ and I don’t want to feed it a ton of nutrients...I was wondering if I could simply repot it to a 5gal? It’s currently in a 3 gal..

my runoff is super clear and it comes out to 125-140ppm...I just added a new layer of soil on top to see if it could feed it a bit more..should I just repot it and let it feed in the soil? I don’t really feed much with nutrients since fox farm is so loaded...what do you guys suggest here?

this is her here..she’s a big girl and I don’t want to lose her like this..

You could. Some would argue it could stunt it's growth which would lower your final yield. Although, looking at the plant's leaves, it's probably already stunted. It definitely looks like either the pH is off or it needs food. You mention 125-140ppm which is extremely low so I'm going to assume that's what's doing it.

@SilverFox Around 7 days to start flowering after flipping to 12/12 - generally speaking. As much at it may hurt, cutting off those 2 tallest branches (all the way down to where the top of the others are) may actually do more good than harm at this point. You will be back at an even canopy and you've solved your height problem. Also, it's early flowering and the plants will still be stretching for a few more weeks anyways.

@Mr. Grow It hey! Chris i hope all is well...so I did flip her since last we spoke and she is a photo 😅..you were right about making the canopy even but I just couldn’t bare cutting more off of her so I tried to work around it and this is where I am....I do notice a lot of leaves keep turning yellow on me...I don’t think it’s a toxicity because I don’t really have any nutrients to feed...I just ordered the foxfarm line up of the 3 bottles tigerbloom,growbig and bigbloom...I k ow you are very knowledgeable on fox farm so I wanted to ask if you think I should feed with the 3? Or just 2 of these products. With calmag? My last PPM runoff was 700ish and it should be lower by now...I know ppl fear tigerbloom but I think I could use it all right now...please let me know what you think...my PH runoff is 6.5 always...and I only feed with calmag and flower fuel.
