its just funny as i go back and read everything that was posted, and read whats being posted. i didnt know there were different degrees of rootboundness. the plant at the start of my thread is rootbound, if they have degrees it would be prolly 3rd degree rootbound or some shit. all i know is that if i didnt get that plant into a different bigger pot then the growth would most def. slow down and the health of the plant will slowly but surely decrease.
i started this thread as a tutorial on how to identify and (in my opinion) the correct way to transplant those (whatever degree they may be) rootbound plants. trying to get the message out to people that it doesnt matter to what degree your plants are rootbound, wether it be a tiny bit or a whole bunch... the fact is the roots arent getting the room they need to grow to their full potential <--- not a lot of people know this, or will even deny it all together.
im here to tell not only you hubert but everyone that depending on the size of your pots, how fast your plants genetics allow the roots to grow, that yes your plants can and will become rootbound in 10days. i JUST finished this experiment if youd read the start of the thread man. no that plant might not be as completely and utterly rootbound, but the growth of the plant is being inhibited and slowed becuase the roots have gotten to the point where they have no where else to go but back up and to circle around themselves. in order to keep my plant growing as healthy as possable it was (in my opinion) a perfect time to transplant into a bigger container.
be a douchebag and argue about that if you want man, im not trying to prove anyone wrong, from the start ive only been trying to tell people the truth because (like i said before) my last grow really went horrible because i listened to someone on this forum saying that rootbound plants dont exist.
like you said man, not a lot of people have the space, that means theres going to be a whole hell of a lot of people out there growing rootbound plants, plants showing signs of being rootbound which could easily be confused for different plant defiencies. example- you have a rootbound plant that is starting to get yellow from the bottom of the plant, you think its a nitrogen def. so you give it a nice shot of some jacks classic or some shit, which could then turn into all sorts of different problems resulting in you trying to heal certian problems about your plant that you initially created. you fuck it all up thinking the plant needs something else when it just needs more room! <---exactly what happened to me last grow.
ive only been trying to help from the start, people gotta be all fuckin retarted'n shit about it trying to prove points that are offshoots from the original point. why cant people just say ah thanks for the info Zaehet maybe ill try that experiment out sometime and see how it works for me. kids... /sigh
