Sup folks,
I have been using smart pots. Today I plan on transplanting but I have this one little stubby lady, I was thinking of just filling the 2nd pot and placing her smart pot and all on top of it to bring her up to canopy level. I use supersoil in a 4x4 tent with a 1k hps for flower in vegs its a 2" 8 bulb t5
I was wondering what you all think of this idea been at this a while now and have never tried this

thanks in advance and Have a Dank day!

I've thought of doing this but never have. To me it makes sense that if the roots have more room to stretch they will but I've never actually seen what happens

itll work the roots will just grow right through the smart pot and continue into the new pot. itll all come out of the sides though as the bottom is a thicker different material i think. i did it with one of my plants it was in a 3 gal smartpot and was getting to big for the pot. they make 1 gal smart pots that are used as transplant pots by some people, they will plant the whole plant including the 1gal smartpot into the bigger pot.
