My Grow

[4barrel]

So my plants have been transplanted in these 44.5ltr
(12 U.S. gallons)containers now for at least a week maybe more.
I thought this would have been my final transplant prior to flowering but now I'm all ready seeing root tips starting ta stick out the drain holes.
I have been tieing them back, training for scrog but I'd like them to double in size before flowering them.
(they have been showing new growth on a daily bassis)

Are 44 frickin ltrs containers not big enough to finish the total grow.
or would I have ta transplant them 1 more time in something bigger ta get some plant size or are these containers plenty big even if roots get a bit congested.
I worry about root bound/root rote/and damaged plants etc.....
all opinions welcome

Hey look absolutely perfect. 44 lt. is way more than enough. Seeing root tips is a great sign. The roots are exploring until they reach boundaries. Then they create ramifications along thosee. You will have no problems. Everything looks fantastic. Be careful cause they gonna stretch like never before the first 3 weeks of flowering

What 9fingers said. I'm in fabric pots and my roots come out the sides. I was told that is a sign of happy plants as well.

and what about the tips that are sticking out....
I'm sure they'll turn brown and shitty.

is this little bit of browning be of concern?

ok thanks.
I appriciate your comments and intrest

Nah because they gotta stop at some point. Google diferent root pruning techniques. The whole point of stoping the main tip is to encourage to develop smaller and smaller ramifications so the plant can take up more nutrients and water
