  • I got a Northern lights X skunk in a 10L pot that has outgrown the pot a little while ago,
    i was going to lift up the pot and accidential ripped some roots that have grown thru the holes
    in the bottom. it is looking all good now so it didnt take damage from it.. it is probaly 2 weeks ago
    so im afraid it can damage the plant to much if their is to much roots thru the hole`?​




 
Dont quote me on this but you should be fine...Worst case scenario is you may stress them and they may turn hermie but I doubt that will do it.
 
Prepare a larger pot, 3-5 gallon pot filled 2/3 full of potting mix. Gently as possible take a pair of wire cutters and remove the bottom of the old pot. Carefully remove the cut-off piece and let the roots dangle naturally. When everything has quit swinging and all the roots are hanging straight down -- lower the old pot (minus bottom) into the prepared larger pot. Don't try to force anything, just set the old pot slowly down while making sure the roots are buried. Try not to move them if possible until she has set down roots to fill the new larger pot. Maybe 2 weeks. Good luck. BigSteve.
