Heya Smokey!

Next time, if you make several shallow (1/4-1/2”) vertical cuts through the sides of the root ball, you will see explosive root growth into the new media.

The root ball should never be cut. You will see explosive growth with just the transplant.

Love the root porn Smokey!
 
Transplanting and the reason for doing this, is to build up your root ball and mass inside your pot. As you keep up-potting you keep building that mass more and more. By the time you are ready to flower you have your whole container full of ready to feed roots that will uptake water/nutrients. Otherwise everyone would just plant in a large container from seed... Your root mass would be very small if you did this and your plant would suffer in the long run. Thats why fabric pots have become very popular. =)

It’s standard horticultural practice - why not try it?

Only One Example

The method you are speaking of FelipeBlu, is a standard Horticulture practice with root bound plants and trees that sit in pots for months and months, not cannabis. Ex: shrubs, rose bushes, and trees. You will not find any scientific article, any commercial grower, or any cultivator that cuts roots on cannabis. The only time cannabis roots need to be cut would be for LONG term mothers if something got rot bound and started to root rot or causing problems. Your recommendations are coming from shrub growers and other plant practices that don't really apply to cannabis.

Yes it would be a great experiment smokey!
 
You are prob right, Nitro. And I use perlite hempy for cannabis, so I have no direct experience with doing root pruning cannabis specifically.

There’s something else I have used for many years on other potted plants, and it might be of some possible benefit to the soil/ProMix/coco grower, and that is to tease out the roots (without any cutting necessary if you don’t let them get too potbound), so that they spread out more evenly into the new soil.

But I‘m a gonna go over here and listen for a while.. :rollit:
 
I agree with you FelipeBlu and that's what I'm planning on doing. Initially when repotting I like to saturate the whole pot to encourage root growth into the new soil. Now it's probably going to take them a week to to suck up all that water. So I plan on litely water with a couple cups are so around the outer edge of the pot to try and encourage the roots to grow outwards instead of just down.
