hey joe..what size lights do you have over your plants and how many plants under each light??
It's not that big of a deal having a root bound herbacious plant. As long as it is maintained it will adapt. It can actually be ok to get a little root bound. I like a slightly root bound plant that has gone just beyond an intact rootball. An intact rootball is when a plant's roots has reached the pot and you can see numerous root tips but no circling.

rootbound is a SYMPTOM of IMPROPER WATERING. FDD2BLK proved that multiple times. now can we just drop this????
i love the smart pot idea!! im going to have to get 3-5 for my indoor
i never thought of that.Seriously man. If you read back on what I said you'll see that I stated root bound plants can be ok if maintained with liquid fertilizers, etc. As far as the horticulturally correct definition his statement is incorrect. So we are splitting hairs here.seriously man. this is the second time this has come up and the second time im posting this link. read the fucking thing.

When a rootbound plant is transplanted a lot of the roots are mechanically impaired and all of them cannot get out of their own way to grow efficiently. I do feel that most people wait too long to pot up in soil and would benefit from re-potting when the plant has an intact root ball instead of being root bound.
Just because a plant can be artificially maintained doesn't mean it isn't root bound.
