Rootbound?

William1976 · Apr 9, 2017

Hello, I have a question about rootbound plants. I started my plants in peat pellets and transplanted into quart-half gallon sized square pots. The plants look healthy as can be but are getting rootbound I think. I want to put out but my spot is flooded right now (river dirt) and Im gonna have to wait another week or 2. Can I continue to veg with no ill effects or will it stunt growth to keep in pot that long? Should I give light nuts to tide them over? Thanks! By the way, I would transplant into bigger pots but I got 30 plants and that would be a lot of soil and work. Thanks again!

if they are rotbound they'll be alright for a lil while longer, just gotta make sure you water them thoroughly
Also important to know how long they've been in their container and such

Well I planted a few in different location and the bottom of pot was full of roots but the sides still dirt. Been in quart size pot for 2-3 weeks now.

Feed them some veg hydro nutes until they go out. Dont re pot as you want it still root bound when you transplant.

Plotted them all. Now the problem it keeping the coons from digging them up! Thanks for the info growers!

when you transplant you should shred the edges of the roots up, then they can grow without binding.
