I was wondering if i should let the roots fill the pot and get a good root mass before flower? I was thinking thats my problem and thinking i should down size my pots from a 10 gallon to a 5 gallon. Ive been watering with no run off with advance sunahine soiless mix #4 with coco..

The larger the established root system, the large the yield (in a controlled experiment) A healthy plant will expand fully into a 5 gal in a month. My belief is the last bit of root expansion should occur in the first weeks of flower or last weeks of veg around the P fert boost when its promoting buds and roots.

its just a ten fills w roots pretty easy unless its too wet or too dry...... I grow organic water daily and rarely see any runoff .....

6 wet maybe....... couple chunky buds there tho....

I always transplant a few days before the flip so the roots have plenty....... organic tho so its different five should be more than enough growing soil less.....
