anyone with good experience with root bound plants

[giz2k14]

I checked my plants root today to see if there was room for the.12/12 3 week stretch and the roots are lovely and healthy but they have started running around the base of the bot the bottom of the plant is pure white with roots and im not sure what is root bound and whats not the plant is now 8days in 12/12 so can i transplant or can i leaveher in her pot cut the base and pop her in more soil i can take a pic of the roots if that would help ?

transplanting will help her more than hinder her imo, hard to say without seeing it in person but if you aren't sure you should just leave her be.

hello,

looks like some good healthy roots!

flower that girl, when she flowers most all her energy goes to producing buds... she doesn't spend much energy on root production at this point in her life.

Severely root bound will make it so the plant will
not perk back up when drooping no matter how much water you give it.
For now your plants roots look good and not that root bound but
I would transplant anyhow so the roots could stretch out and build up again.

Question, and i swear I am not trying to be a smartass here, but if you pulled the plant out of its container for the pics already why not just take the extra step to transplant? surely you pulling the roots in and out of the container was just as stressful as a transplant wouldve been so why not just plop her in a new container and call it a day? Just my 2¢ on the matter...

defiantly worth the transplant, it will help her get a better footing to hold up the weight of the buds she will produce also like milovan said will help if she starts drooping to help her perk back up

yeah, that's fine, i do that all of the time. the roots will grow out of the bottom of the top container and into the bottom one..
i just try and plant the top container a few inches or so into the bottom one pretty much..
