Smallest root ball ever?? In a 15gal pot at that

[Wobblyeastcoaster]

So I pulled my 8 ball and dug up my root ball to see why it was the worst plant I have grown to date. So I had this plant as a clone I did in a solo cup. I put it in to a 15gal pot of organic soil from the solo cup which was all roots. As I transplanted I broke the root ball up a but it didn't seem to grow to the 15gal at all. Any ideas why or what to do better. I dot really have the option of moving it to a gal pot or something like that but I'll take any advice you guys have.

A picture helps. What did you transplant into as far as medium?

It was the same soil mix as the clones. But a super soil. The root mass might have doubled, so 2 solo cup size, but still it was a 15gal pot and they didn't explore the whole pot. Weird to me

Is that soil well aerated? Perlite or aggregate or something? Suggest adding Mykos during transplant. And adding it to the soil when you're mixing it.

Theres rice hulls and perlite. It feels loose but can add more. Ya Im sure I did add some to those plants and I do it to all. I have the clonex brand of mycrorrhizae. It was tthst and mites thdt hurt my yield.
