    COCO COIR Is this plant root bound? Take a look a the photo

    Hello,
    I think this plant is root bound but I would like some other opinions.
    thanks

    Yes it is,,,,
    Edit; I have not done it, but I have read one can take a razor knife and make vertical cuts to trim the roots, then re-pot

      I did that about 4 years ago- killed the plant.
      Today, I would just "finger tip" massage the roots to loosen then up a bit and stimulate.

      Agreed some plants can handle root cutting but I would just give the ball a couple gentle squeezes and repot.

    Use your hand squeeze the whole soil root system rough it up a little enough to break up the soil and roots.. then transplant. Will cause a little plant shock but should be ok.

      Looks okay to me - although it probably didn't like being pulled out of her pot - roots of the cannabis plant grow during its entire life. So in that pot, after you harvest, the roots should look like the pics you are showing but a lot more roots wound up in the bottom.
      Using fabric pots one doesn't get that problem - cuz the roots grow out of the fabric and circulating air prunes them off. I've never had root problems using fabric pots.

          Just pull the roots that are wrapping around the bottom loose, you can break some but do it sort of gently, put it in a bigger pot (I prefer fabric grow bags), and keep growing, it looks great, your roots are healthy and happy and she'll be just fine.
