Ok thanks for the input Fishy - I dont know if I have the confidence to cut the roots but we'll see .

As for the transplant....I'm going to need to buy more soil and a new planter.

WHAT would be the optimum planter? 7 gallon? anything in particular?

I'll buy whatever ya guys suggest : )

since your out of soil just cut the 3gallon pot open on the bottom and drop the soil and palnt into a pre dug hole that way its roots can grow as far as they want and you dont have to worry about transpalnting

good idea reef....

only problem with that is..in the future I may want to move my plant and that makes that kinda...impossible

I'll probably end up transplanting into a very large planter (at least 7 gall).

Any suggestions or tips regarding this process?

(Transplanting / what planter to get / precautions?)

yeah, if you are growing outdoors then get at least a 5 gallon container. you should go for a 7 gallon. After some shock (which it will probably go through cuz its hard as fuck to transplant a 3 gallon into a 7 gallon) that thing is gonna grow like crazy and make you a very happy man!

I checked again today, and there seems to be a few MORE roots poking out of the bottom.

Am I in dire need of a transplant or can I hold off for a bit?

They aren't growing out of the planter, just "poking" i guess.

Is cutting the bottom of the planter, digging a hole, and setting the planter in the hole a good idea?

It will use the earth's nutes/ water and allow the roots to grow while still having a lot of its roots in the soil im using.

Could this hurt my plant or run me into problems?

should I just transplant into a 7 gall and leave it?


thoughts / suggestions?

I have a lot of transplant to do in 2 weeks. I'll just cut the bottom and put it over a new bucket. easier, no stress.
