    To transplant or not to transplant? & More roots= more uptake= more yeild?

    Got some ladies in 3 gals. First time using fabric pots and the roots made a huge jump I wasn’t expecting. I’m seeing thin 1- 2” long roots out the bottom and I was planning to flip them into flower now. Would it make a noticeable difference in yield if I transplant them into 5 gals? Or would...

    Hi All, So I let my babies go in the solo cup for a little longer than they wanted, and of course they were showing signs of rootbound so I decided to transplant. When I was transplanting however, I did not loosen up the root all and just threw the plant in the soil. To make matters worse...

    Flowering time help

    so I've gone from a 1>3>5 gal . Was going to go to 7 then 10 but I don't have the money for both so I was just going to buy a 10. I'm new at this so how long should I veg in there before I switch to flowering to avoid root bound?

    Rootbound during flowering?

    I haven't started flowering yet. I'm still vegging. I've gone from solo > 1 gal>3gal>now I'm at 5 gal . I plan on going to 7 then 10. My question is, how do you prevent your plants from getting root bound during flowering stage? Do I start flowering immediately once I get to my final pot?

    Transplanting Tribulations

    Hey guys I transplanted a rootbound plant without breaking up the root ball. Then I read that it's important to do that. So dug out the plant again, broke away almost all the soil until the just the roots remained, and replanted again. I know this is going to be a major shock but really hoping...

    Post harvest root/soil question

    Just finished my first harvest and was wondering what others opinions are with regards to the roots. Do these pics show rootbound? Does there appear to be anything wrong with the roots at all? Was also wondering if the soil is ok to reuse as is. Most of the roots stayed together and there is...
