Hi kenosis, welcome!
Upcanning is when you go from a smaller pot, hopefully its close to or is root bound, into a bigger pot. This allows the roots to expand in more soil. Bigger root balls, bigger plants, etc..
The tiered planting is for that purpose and for space. Vertical space
. I tried this as an experiment last time with imo, really good results. From smallish pots I got decent sized plants from being tiered. This grow Im doing several things.
First thing, Im doing a journal.
I chopped the last plant that leased that pot at the soil line during harvest. I Left the root ball intact in those pots. I made believe that each pot was a pile of soil, which it is, and I top dressed with some EWC, some 1x used soil, docs kit Amendment, Roots, and watered with some Transplant/Tea. Kept it moist with water, Tea until the plants were ready to upcan.
I just have upcanned the 2 WNs and Colombian. Pics later.
Another thing Im trying at same time, is im growing from seed 11/13. I dont know how much the growth (veg) of the plant will be limited when grown this way. Normally people like to veg for awhile before flipping to flower. There was no flipping just like growing 12/12 from seed, which I never did, but many here have.
