What should I do when my roots are coming out the bottom of my 1 gallon pots

look like it's about time to transplant to bigger pots ...

 

[ajpapenfuss]

I was wanting to leave them all in one gallon pot

My first attempt at cloning

i'd say you have room for bigger pots in that tent with that amount of plants.

but you can keep them in smaller pots if you wish, it just make it harder micro-managing feeding and watering.

also smaller rootball sustain less bud growth overall

that's up to you

Thanks I'm very new to this I've got maybe three successful grows but I read about a 1 gallon challenge and micro grows I thought I'd experiment with some clones and only grown so tall and top them and and flip them while they're still small

I've also got these two Autos in that same tent that are about 3 weeks out from being done

These are the mothers in my 4x4 that I've already flipped

Well done! They look great!

Hey the one gallon challenge discussion topic thread is open to everybody! Come on over and ask your question or whatever! Super cool folks over there! They are all more than happy to answer and help : )

I think I would space it up in a saucer. Then let it drink from the saucer also. Let it work like a sip.

I have them in trays now and water from the bottom

I'm using four single 5 gallon dwc system

Great advice! I've also noticed that plants tend to thrive better in larger pots. Smaller pots definitely require more attention with watering and feeding. What pot size do you usually go for optimal growth?

i m growing in sog 8 plants in a 2x3 in 6L (1,6) gal pots.
