Did you check the root ball after harvest and did it expand a good bit? What size fabric pots were you using?Yep had to use straight pruner to cut down one seam. Then popped into larger pot. Trick is to do it before rootbound. Otherwise you won’t get much of a bigger rootball
Why would you consider doing this? I am confused about what the advantage might be.Thinking out loud and all opinions or facts are welcome.
Facts: Roots will grow out of the fabric pots.
Has anyone tried transplanting the whole fabric pot to a larger fabric pot and if so, how did it work out?
Fabric pots outdoors and the roots are growing out of the pots and into the soil like the pot aren’t even there. Why bother destroying all those roots, I know a lot of them will still be hanging when I pick them up. I think when I bury the pot inside a larger one they’ll start growing out of the sides also.Why would you consider doing this? I am confused about what the advantage might be.
That’s how I transplanted when I went from 5gal to 10gal during my last grow. Cut down both seams, rolled the pot down to bottom of root mass and lifted them straight out Worked like a charm.Agree. I cut the bag down the seam. Massage if necessary. Will tear roots when removing if left to grow too long.
Great white for the win.If it’s totally root bound.... most likely. You can maybe cut it open without damage but getting it to root much more in a timely fashion wouldn’t be easy. If you could open up the rootball to spread out the root ends may be but the stress you’d cause to the plants wouldn’t be beneficial and could even cause it to germ. If you do try it I’d recommend a mycorrhizal booster of some sort right on the roots before transplant
4 weeks seedling. 8 weeks veg and 2 weeks after transplanting to 10galHow long did you veg before and after?
From cow pots, to 1 gal. To 3 gal. To now 7-10 on some. Over the course of 7.5 weeks from seed drop on my latest run.How long did you veg before and after?
Agreed. Did 2-20gal outdoor last year and the whole grow was perfect. Only had to top dress once and the top dressing was the remaining supersoil mix. Was great until the bud rot a month before harvest. Lost a lot but made it. Indoor in the 10gals they didn’t nearly fill those pots up. Partly because of p&k deficiencies but I eventually got those corrected, even without the problems I don’t think they would’ve filled them up so I’m thinking long and hard about going from the 3gal I’m in now to 5’s then 7’s or just staying at 5’s.I’ve done 2,5,10 Gal and unless you transplant early you won’t use all that soil unless growing outdoors or extended veg
I was new then lol. Definitely taking a different route this yearOutdoor that’s mint. IndoorI personally wouldn’t
I was wondering if you ever tried this out and if so, how it went? I'm planning to do an all cloth container grow around early December, and while I was thinking I'd just rip the bag off when repotting in the next one, I'm intrigued by the idea of just dropping the entire container into a larger one, and wondering if anyone has had any indoor/tent success with it.Thinking out loud and all opinions or facts are welcome.
