How do you feed plants that have limited root space in a very rich soil?
How do you properly feed bound roots?

Just work from the outside towards the plate. So start with the smallest knife and fork.

Rich soil? plz explain. Are you rootbound? Can you transplant into bigger pot at this stage? what nutrients?

are fabric pots rigid at all or can you bend and make them whatever shape you want? i haven't gotten my hands on any to see myself.

They still have a general shape that can only be manipulated so much. Once you fill them with your medium they will hold the designed shape.

Every grow I do become root bound I use 3 gal pots. By the time I flipp 12/12 there bound I just feed what the plant can drink

Thats kinda true but you can slightly elongate them into more of an oval than a circle if that makes any sense lol...Like if you had a room that was "deeper" than it was wide you could fit them in there better by stretching them as you fill it with medium and kind of shape it to fit the area that way...the base of the pot will remain whatever shape they made it but you can elongate the top portion to accommodate your area a little better...

Theoretically yes, but they would need some kind of support to take that shape which means more manipulation of the pots by an outside object. Just not worth the hassle IMO. If smart pots are too wide then go for air pots which are taller and still air prune.

cool. i saw a post that said multiply the height of the plant (ft) by 3/4 and that's how many gallons of pot you need.
