Thanks bro! I got a bunch of shots today. Here's my oldest. The roots are thick with this one to say the least. I had to pull really hard to get it out of the solo cup. It was fun to see how long she could last but now I must make way for new ladies.

Absolutely. Those plants were just an experiment to see how long I could keep them in solos and if I could maintain the root health as well. It also allowed me to see that I could keep a plant in one for almost 15 weeks. Essentially I wanted to push the limits of rootbound and to see the results. I observed slower growth but overall with the high availability of hydroponic nutrients they stayed relatively healthy for the most part. I'm glad I did it.

I never had any plans for those plants so it was all fun and games:D

This is a pic of them I took recently. Still healthy. The ones on the right.

Using pot scheduling to balance up plant sizes is very interesting.
I am using the strategy now, and it runs counter to normal veg strategy.
Rather than up potting when the plant needs it, I up pot the smallest plants first allowing them to catch up with the root bound sisters.
It sure looks to be working this round.

Interesting concept. I like the sound of that.

Such beasts! I love it.:love2:

The roots hunger for more. The roads they create are endless.

Just grinding it down, not to dust, and adding back to soil. No real big deal. I don't want to throw anything out.

Right on! It mostly comes down to watering practices for the medium you are working with. I personally like 100% coco. Here is a link below to the short tutorial I wrote up about getting nice roots with coco. I hope it can provide you with some good advice:smoking:
