Repot three weeks in??? Rootbound need help?

[Mr_Grimbo]

I fear we are getting close to being root bound in ten inch pots, but we are three and a half weeks into the 12/12 with almost dime size flowers on the tops. Can I carefully repot into bigger pots at this point or will I shock the plants?

Thanks, Mr. Grimbo!

[EDIT].. Read into the site and it seems it's split as to those who think it's ok, and those who say it shocks them. Tried replanting one, and just adding to three others who were a bit low in the pots. Flushed with rhizo 2ml/gallon to help with root shock, I will let you all know... Not sure if I want to do the rest, can't afford the time for shock..

To keep stress levels down you could always cut the bottom of containers out and place on another container filled with medium.


IMO it's best to do the final transplant before flowering though.

when you harvest those plants...look at the roots and see if it filled in the bigger pot?
Roots usually don't grow much in later flowering cycle...IMO

Yes, that's what I am thinking. We did 4 of them and left the rest. We are going to watch the nutes and ph closer and see how it goes with the rest. So far the yellowing is subsiding somewhat and not progressing either mostly so I think we are just gonna' let them finish in the pots they are in. Thanks again.
