Transplanting auto's,

I think I've come up with a plan to transplant autos with out stunting.I am growing six autos outside,thier in two gal.smart pots from what I here there too small!!!! For the root system anyway I'm going to put my two gal. Pots inside four gal. Pots not disturbing plants at all!!!! What do ya think, if roots are comming thru looking for more room to grow y not give it to them? Any thoughts or opinions on this or if anybody else has tried please let me know.As always all replies are met with gradatude thanks.
 
I have been planning a similar transplant with my new grow but I will be basically unwrapping the old pot while it's in the new one. Same same....

As I said the roots are comming thru I don't think I have to find a way the plant did that for me.lol
 
Great thing about smart pots, the roots will grow out and get aerated. This happens occasionally using my 2 and 3 gallon pots, usually right before harvest they start popping through, if you already have roots coming through DO NOT take it out of the smart pot and transplant it, you will shock it hard by damaging the roots which are stuck to the pot. you could possibly put the smart pot in a bigger pot surrounded by soil (a pot in a pot). In my experience the roots growing outside of pot isnt a bad thing, i figure its a good thing lol
 
the concept of the smart pots are that the roots will self prune when they hit the air yes they will grow though but I think the roots that do die off or turn back I'm not positive about this but I did read it somewhere I think your idea of one pot in the other will work but personally I think I would make slits in the first pot but Im not there to see it so
 
Tho I agree with u about the the roots dieing off when hitting the air and promoting more root growth.The fact still remains bigger pot = bigger bud don't u agree?lol
 
yea usually bigger pots means bigger yields but if it isnt filling the pot then youre wasting in a way. Also when my roots grow out of pots they dont die? they actually stay alive and keep coming out of my pots untill harvest? I cant find any pictures of it but ill try take some in a month or so when they are there :P
 
well since ive only had the chance on growing autos in fabric pots i dont know if theyll stick around forever? they always stick around till harvest for me though. but then again the veg stage isnt too long and i keep them in their pots whole life, which isnt long :D
 
Thanks for the pic.Herby it helps,but with a 2 gal. Sp I foresee watering on a daily basses as plant grows larger and am trying to avoid that very thing since I live in a state that doesent abide the less trips the to the site the better u know lol
