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?

Thanksi 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.
ThanksI'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?
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.Might fill the pots up to the top for support too.
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..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?
"Yeah, I know you're trying to play a game, but fuck you. And fuck this piece. And fuck these pieces. King me!"
Cats are shitheads and I love it.
Tbf, she demonstrated that is, in fact, her move. Poor cats are so misunderstood, even when they follow directions we call them dicks!i said to her “your move” and that's what she did. Wrecked the board. Lol

We should play a game sometime...
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.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'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.
