Mimed’s Perpetual Thread

[MIMedGrower]

Hi, have you ever had plants too big for their pots and not transplant? I recently inherited 2 - 5ft trees in 20L buckets. The roots are growing 6-8-10" out of the bottoms of these buckets. I had no room to veg them so into the flower room with them. I would normally just give them a larger pot but I've not done that to plants after they go into the flower room. I'm not sure what to do...

.I don't think I could cut the bottoms off the buckets without damaging the roots coming through the drain holes. I could put the bucket and all into more soil in a larger pot but is there any point doing that? The roots don't look all that healthy but there is quite a bit of them. Trim them off? Or do Nothing? those seem to be my options.

Any advice on this conundrum?

i dont think it would hurt them to just trim the roots back and flower. Mother plants kept long term get root trimming and then back in to the same pot to keep them at size.

My experiments were smaller plants flowered in 1 gallon pots. They just needed water and nutes every day or two instead of 3 and yielded lower obviously.

Might fill the pots up to the top for support too.

Thanks I'm not sure I could pull them out without breaking them on my own and my wife is too clumsy to help ( sorry dear ) Awkward to manhandle ( if that work is still ok ) I can trim them back, my thought was more dirt underneath, Any point on doing something like that?

of you can fill the dirt beneath them that's as good as a transplant almost i think. I like that plan. She can pour the dirt in at least right?

Yes ! definitely. there are roots all over the tops exposed. I can put almost 6" on top and they both took a bit of a hit in transport. I would liked to have room to let them veg for a week to recover but no room.

ah....well....she burns water......breaks tools......ah no not a good idea. Great woman but I just can't.......it's not worth the fight..

I'd go with MIM, chop the roots off level with the bottom of the pot, and then fill the space in round the plant, level off an inch below the surface of your pot, feed as normal.

i said to her “your move” and that's what she did. Wrecked the board. Lol

 

[Kanzeon]

She wanted you to know that ALL moves are hers. She's just letting you think otherwise because you're too big to be prey.

Tbf, she demonstrated that is, in fact, her move. Poor cats are so misunderstood, even when they follow directions we call them dicks!

Im not an avid player. I have a good friend who still plays online. I have attention problems for board games and have always played guitar in the background.

Mrs mmg was bored and set up a game. She beat me.

I can't play the fast games very well, I usually play 20 min games where each player gets that much time. With some games that is still a rush and I fk up under pressure to move quicker. Nothing worse for me ( in chess ) than timing out on a game I was winning.

I've played thousand of games since I was 7 or 8 but know very little about it other than how to play. Not much on strategy or tricks, I just play the best move for me or so I think until I get whooped doing something stupid. I used to care if I lose it would bother me & make me sleepless trying to figure it out. Now I just lose and play another fk it its only chess.

It may have been 25 years since i played before today. But i still liked playing. Just hard to pay attention to that sort of thing for me.
