Howdy folks!
I was recently gifted 64 feminized plants from a good friend of mine that decided he couldn't use them this year. I can get them all out and about within a couple of weeks.
The problem here is that they are in seed starter trays (not the small sectionals but the bit larger ones that have 18 cells per tray instead of 72) and they have been vegged under flouros for over a month now. They are all on the 5th to 6th node about a foot tall and very healthy looking plants, well taken care of but the problem here is that you can tell they are root bound.
The bottom sets of leaves are yellow and dying off, you know the usual root bound symptoms but I personally have never kept seed plants in trays this long so I have no experience with whether once placed in 10 gallon grow bags if they will explode into growth or will just be stunted plants?
I guess it would be a good idea to break the root ball up a bit in this situation. When pulling the plant out of the tray and examining the roots you can tell they are root bound but they honestly are not encircled with roots. Doesn't look to bad, i'm just taking into thought the plants age in such a small container.
I have experience in the past with severely root bound clones in 1 gallon containers (vegged 24hrs for 3 months) and set those outdoors last june and they absolutely exploded and became trees. Will these seed plants behave similarly? Thanks for reading.
