always go for deeper pots than wider roots from a pot plant like to travel down side roots are more support than nutrient uptake deeper deeper deeper lol guess it sounds gay

TheVenusflytrap I think your information is more accurate regarding trees
I'm not so sure your information is accurate when it comes to Cannabis.......

Wider containers encourage more lateral root growth which in turn encourages lateral branching on most strains....

I suggest looking at some of GrowMasters threads if you want to see what production is like with a wide shallow root system......
He uses beds and gets phenomenal results.

Point 1)
Some roots can grow as deep as the tree is high. The majority of roots on most plants are however found relatively close to the surface where nutrient availability and aeration are more favorable for growth. Rooting depth may be physically restricted by rock or compacted soil close below the surface, or by anaerobic soil conditions.

Point 2)
A fibrous root system (sometimes also called adventitious root system) is the opposite of a taproot system. It is usually formed by thin, moderately branching roots growing from the stem. A fibrous root system is universal in monocotyledonous plants and ferns.

Most trees begin life with a taproot, but after one to a few years change to a wide-spreading fibrous root system with mainly horizontal surface roots and only a few vertical, deep anchoring roots. A typical mature tree 30-50 m tall has a root system that extends horizontally in all directions as far as the tree is tall or more, but well over 95% of the roots are in the top 50 cm depth of soil.

I hope this helps. I'm about ready for bed but I'll dig up more relevant info when I find the time.
