Its 3weeks old, and if i dont put to bigger pot? Something happens? Cuz i dont have any bigger pots :/its fine for the size of plant in there id wait about to weeks then plant her in something bigger
Ohh, okey thanks, i found 15liters bucket is so big, its fine?ya they get root bound and die u have time to get something bigger
But 5l pot enough? Yea there drain holes in potYou could let it grow and develop a solid root ball for a couple of weeks. Then pull it out of here and fill the bottom with fresh soil and put the plant right back on top and water it in.
Many growers just cut the bottom out of the pot and put it right on top of a new pot full of soil and let the roots grow right through.
I hope there are drain holes in that pot!

No not for its whole life. I like to transplant up in sizes to promote nice tight root balls that fill the soil as completely as possible.
So my suggestion is to root that the way I said then move up to about double the size pot (or a bit bigger. Depends on your situation. ) and let it grow and root in that one for a few weeks and then.....
Otherwise in my experience the roots will usually circle the pot rather than penetrate and explore the soil. Over watering also inhibits the roots from branching out.
Many may disagree with me. And my personal experience is indoor. But I have been around outdoor growers all my life and they mostly grew hidden crops so right in the final container. Usually a big trash can. But they transplanted up their container vegetables and such at home.
It all really depends. Every Grow is different. These tips are for ideal conditions and hopefully results.
how u tell from full roots and root bound?
15l pot
I buyed only 5kg tomatoes soil and i thinked enough soil, and when i transplanted i dont saw any roots on bottom.Why don't you fill the pots up all they way? Only 15 liters if you fill it.

The roots need the space below to grow. They grow down.
