What to do if you run out of soil room?

Doesn't make sense. Plants normally, as in dictated by millions of years of evolution, grow reproductive organs in bloom. You must be growing some of that new fangled Gmo weed that hermies due to being genetically fucked up, and smells like botanical tree terpenes instead of Cannabis acids due to being genetically fucked up. Because roots are the first thing to stop growing in bloom, regarding normal weed that people have grown for thousands of years.

No definitely not growing fangled weed, and unless you are talking about the strain there is no genetically modified organism that’s cannabis. Root’s definitely grow in bloom, maybe they are growing too fast in search of nutrients or my lights are too powerful, probably both. However I have not seen any deficiencies in my last grows that say that.

The plastic bag pots I was looking at were 20-22” tall. Although woven bags have some downsides to them, the 15 gallon I have is 12” tall. These plants are already very tall. I have 12” of head room left, and they’re going to stretch.

im considering cutting the tops off to get another foot. Hopefully the clones root. I have a 12 gal SIP that’s ready to rock. Also I don’t have any experience growing in the Root’s O Lush soil. I’ve been growing in Coot’s mix for the past few years and have zero complaints. I can already tell the roots will move quickly through this soil. It probably won’t need all 15 gallons, but you never know, at least I won’t run out of room and that’s what matters. On the nutrient front i’ll


The Terp Tea bloom booster is .6-5-18. It’s probably high in langbeinite, which I heard can be counter productive especially if you have Sulphur in your soil, which I do. Brandon Rust’s K humate is looking like the winner

What does sulfur lock out if there's too much of it? I've been wondering about that one.
 
Woven, fabric pots still suck. Even the thicker material still pulls the moisture out. I feel silly for even giving it another chance. Transplanted into the 15 gal fabric pot (yes I know they still suck, but I bought plastic wrap, to keep in the moisture). I went back and forth whether I should trash it or not, but I’m going to try with this one. it just feels wrong to work with this plant for 3+ months and trash it. I have the clones going but again, let’s hope they root. Some of the leaves in the clone dome are turning yellow, I think that’s because of the heat the other day. It’s been 5 days since propagated.

I think I can flower this plant out. I’ve used the plastic wrap trick on fabric pots before and succeeded. I gave it some Dr Earth 4-6-3, and I’ll have other stuff to ensure it’s growth and flower.

I read this a lot, but have you left a fabric pot sitting around after you harvested the plant? It takes forever to dry out. I think the plant drinking heavily is being confused for evaporation. I grew in 3 gallon fabric pots for about 5 years straight and only watered once a day.

I feel like I’m talking to walls. I can’t speak against your method. However, when I transplanted today, the plant in the 7 gal woven pot had a fraction of the roots than the 5 gal plastic pot. I also watered the woven pot more than the 5 gal, because I knew that was the plant I was going to grow/clone. They have been in the same environment, although siblings in genetics, these were the same height. 5 days ago I moved out the plants outside after taking clones of the keeper (7gal woven pot). Even watering the woven potted plant last night, the 5 gal had more water and roots than the 7gal, that had gotten way more water.

15 gal got Saran wrapped

bro you grow hydro, just checked your profile, you’re a keyboard warrior. You are also leaving out a ton of information on your 3 gal fabric pots.

Bro, you're a retard. In what context am I a keyboard warrior? What more info would you like? 3 Gallons fabric pots (tons of different makers) canna coco (bricks), watered once a day for around 5 years. I also grew in 5 gallons, 2 gallons, 1/2 gallons and coco cubes. And Rockwool.

Solid argument though. Chop a plant and see how long it takes for the fabric pot to dry out. Leave it in the grow room as to not change any variables.
 
All of that brown under the bush is coco. It's kind of hard to make out, but that's a big pile of coco on the left. There was a wide 2ft hole where my dog is sitting that was a little minnow pond, and I filled it in with a few big rocks and coco.

Just take the pot, and transplant it directly into a $1 fabric walmart bag with a little more soil. Maybe cut a few gashes in the original pot first.

Then, quit buying expensive fabric pots, because you really can't beat a reusable grocery bag for 1 dollar. I've grown side by side against smart pots, and every kind of fabric pot. The walmart bags always had the best root systems, lol.
 
I need to apologize to @lusidghost I was being a d*ck and the dude was just trying to help. I’m sorry lusid

@lusidghost i just don’t want to water everyday if I can help it. I got spoiled on sips with watering 3-4 days. I think the 15 gal fabric will work ok, plants are praying this morning.
