alright, I've been doing to searching and reading on here to try and address why the plant is browning and to better figure out exactly the cause.

I dont think the knats have much to do with it as they were around for a while. I also dont think the watering or nutes are the problem as I've only had my fiance water it twice since I've been gone and it still is browning some.

I'm thinking its root bound into that pot I've got it in. When I get home this weekend and check the plant by pulling it out of the pot, how dense will the roots be on the outside of the dirt to know if it's rootbound or not?? I was reading other threads where people thought their plants were rootbound and when they took pictures of the root system, guys said they werent rootbound even with roots on the outside of the dirt.

Also, once I pull it to transplant (which I'll do one way or the other at that point) how do you properly wash the roots?? do I just sorta shake the loose dirt that I can from the roots and then toss it in a new pot and fill around with new dirt?? or should I wash the roots clean with water and start with pretty much fresh dirt??

I'm thinking the latter will shock the hell out of the plant.
