I have a plant going right now and it has its first set of 3 leaflets and i want to keep it small. Im not an idiot, i know it will get rootbound in a small pot but im wondering if it will still flower and mature if its rootbound. I need it small for security issues for now. im talking 1-2 feet tall at the most. any help?

well i know if it gets root bound it will stop growing...i'm pretty sure you should be able to flower it though...i mean, look at lowrider plants..i was checking out a grow one time and i don't think they transplanted those at all...they were pretty small and still produced buds..so shit, why not try?

alright thanks dinkydigger +rep

Yes, Essentially a Bonsai works on the same principle. As a matter of fact, last summer I grew some corn and started them out in liners. Well all the trays were planted except one. I unintentionally left it on the irrigation table, and promptly forgot about it. Well, lo and behold two months later I walk by the liner and there is a bunch of corn with TINY little ears of corn.
Bonsai!!!
They were delicious too.
And so the great but silent personal question I have thought about every time I eat Chinese House rice had been finally answered quite by accident. I'm going to plant 500 this year just for kicks!


out.
