Remeber the plant (casey jones) I showed you guys that was rootbound in a 6 inch cup on 3-28 -11 (page 9) droopy leaves yellowing
The day I showed you all that photo I transplanted it into a 8 inch potter.... look how much better the plant is doing...5 days later
No fert added... just transplanted and watered...I never add fert to the first time watering a transplanted plant.....I use a soilless growing medium (sun#4)
The leaves are now stretching towards the light (not drooping) the green color has returned along with explosive new growth
A plant in a 6 inch cup under 400s will take almost twice as long to get rootbound compaired to the same strain in a cup growing under 1000s
A freshly watered transplanted plant takes days for the water to get used up.... as the roots expand and the plant gets rootbound... you will find yourself watering alot more if not daily
In soil grows... during veg as long as roots can expand... the growth of a plant can be almost unrestricted.... as roots get bound up the growth slows
