I have seen it over and over again and Im tired of the Myth/rumor being spread on these kinds of forums, namely this one so much.
Cannabis plants raised right indoors will NOT get "root bound" when its roots fill the pot.
Issues that come from growing in small pots are ALWAYS due to plants not getting enough nutrients to grow with.
What happens is this, You start a plant in a small container, it grows just happily. Eventually the roots suck out all of the nutrients in the soil where they have grown to and it becomes deficient in nutrients enough that it stops growing as it once was.
When people transplant a plant such as this, It gives the plant more access to nutrients in that new soil and it continues growing correctly again as it once was.
But this is Not NEEDED and an absolution as most people growing marijuana seem to think.
Leaving the plant in that same small container and increasing the amount of nutrients that you feed it @ that time should be perfectly fine for that plant to be ok and start growing again once you knock out the plants deficiency.
Roots do not need to keep growing the whole time a plant is alive in order for it to live happily and grow. The only thing that is needed for a plant to live happily is all its conditions being met.
To avoid all argument in this thread I will ask this question alone...
"If you believe in a plant being rootbound because its roots have no place to grow into, What makes that plants roots become unefficient enough to stop absorbing nutrients, when they were healthy enough to do that before the nutes in the soil were depleated and all used up?"
