And my point is that a plant doesn't get root bound in three weeks, I'm not arguing that it simply doesn't exist. To make it clear I will eventually do some root trimming when need be, but if plants got root bound as easily as is said in this thread I'd have to trim the roots every three weeks...which I don't and will never do because THEY DON'T GET ROOT BOUND IN THREE WEEKS. It takes months for a plant to get to the point that it's health will suffer due to it's roots being bound, for that point when you can safely say okay it's the roots and nothing else.
I'm also not saying it wouldn't be nice to have bigger pots either, what I'm saying is that not everyone can use 7 gallon pots...so they need to keep their plants in smaller pots simple as that. Bigger is nice sure, but not everyone has that much space.
Heres my casey jones after 3 weeks in cup under 1000 mh..... the main fan leaves are just now starting to turn yellow... notice the top leaves are droppy
if I transplant right now the plant will green up and take off again.....If I leave it in the cup it will continue to degrade
that should say , this it what happens when you stop watering your plants as needed
I can transplant those shitty looking plants and within a week to 10 days they will be healthy and green.
