So back to my original post. My babes were turning slightly yellow, because they were lacking nutes, and not b/c they were root bound. All this bickering had some good points in it. So I thank you all :)

all root bound means is you have to water more frequently......as long as the water, nutrients and oxygen are there to feed the root system it can knot up all it wants to...transplanting for me is more of a convenience thing......

It might sound out of the ordernary but leaveing your plants when they are rootbound holts there growth has long has they are not left to long it is a great way if the other plants that are a little behind.leave them till the others catch up once rootbound this seems to holt growing.make sure once the others have caught up you water the hell out of the rootbound plant and then gently pull the roots to losen them has they will have grown realy compact.

A root bound plant can have the following problems.

1. Stunted Growth.

2. Stretching.

3. Smaller and slower bud production.

4. Needs watering too often.

5. Easy to burn with low % nutrient solution mixtures.

6. Wilting.
