I think I've stumbled across a great method for repotting and wondered if this is a known method that I've just discovered?
I'm calling it rootstacking for the moment. By growing plants in shallow medium (e.g. coco) and getting them rootbound, you can then transplant into THE SAME SIZE POT and allow the lower part to then get rootbound, essentially doubling the rootmass....and as everyone knows...more roots = more buds = happy.
Here's a picture of what I mean. I think if you rootstack every repot, you get to double the rootmass (or more) whilst only repotting 3 times but getting the benefit of repotting 6 times (and only using 3 pots).
I hope this makes some kind of sense. I've started doing it on my Chronic and Sonic Boom and we'll see how they go. If anyone else is doing this already, or I'm missing something and this is a waste of time, please let me know!!
