no its not ludacris at all its quite simple actually. a plants root system grows to be twice the size of your plant(the part sticking out of the dirt)... it will get stunted if left in too small of a pot since the roots will outgrow the pot and not be able to grow any further.... simple equations my friend

So your saying that my 15gal pots would be sufficient to grow a 15foot plant? I know it can support a massive 8foot plant but can it really do a 15foot plant?

lol not sure about a 15 foot plant but it could be possible depending on what kind of strain you are growing, although im not very positive of thiskiss-ass:joint:

a 15 gallon pot is sufficient for a 25 foot plant.
Root growth is mostly built up during vegging time and when you switch to flowering the plant the main growth starts to focus on forming flowers instead of producing more roots than when in vegg.

25 foot? Really? I dont doubt it but these plants in the pics below are almost 8 foot tall and they have an enormous amount of roots and im not sure there would be much more room for new roots. I was starting to wonder whether these plants have a root problem and they have had their growth stunted coz they were getting too big for the room.

if you are concerned with the roots outgrowing those pots then transplanting is obviously going to be a problem so use the double potting method.

man this site gives the worst advice !!!

I use two gallon pots, grow all my plants at least 4 feet, usually like to stretch em out to 6 + feet, in a two gallon pot, and I have NEVER< EVER came anywhere near rootbound, or had any sort of issue at all.
I have 3 footers in a 4x6 inch pots, not even close to being rootbound.

Where do you get this retarded info ?????

i have right now at this moment plants in 2 gallon containers. the sativas are probably 3 feet now and the indicas are about 2 . some are over three feet though and this is only 5 weeks iinto the grow. so i just started flowering the plants i have. im sure the indicas will top 3 feet and i am pretty sure the sativas will be 4 feet at least when they are done. considering they were flowered at 2 1/2 feet and 3 feet. they say they double in hight. mine seem to grow a foot more but they dont really +double they get thicker.
i used to grow in 5 gallon buckets but because i have a lot of plants i had to go to 2 gallon bags. but i am not even worried in the least about losing that 3 gallons. but if i had the room i would go with 5 gallon buckets, just because

EXPERIENCE
THIS IS ONE OF MY MALE PLANTS ROOTBALL I CHOPPED IT YESTERDAY.
IT WAS 13" TALL IN 1 GALLON OF SOIL.
I AM TRANSPLANTING THE FEMS TOMMOROW BUT WANTED TO SEE THE ROOTS THAT WERE LEFT IN THE POT BY MY 13" PLANT AND ALSO TO PRACTICE TRANSPLANTING MY NOW 15" TALL PLANTS THAT ARE STILL IN 1 GALLON POTS(PICS TAKEN TODAY).
THE COMPLETE ROOTBALL AND ALL THE SOIL CAME OUT AS ONE.
I WOULD NOT SAY IT WAS ROOTBOUND BUT IT CLEARLY SHOWS THAT A 13" PLANT IN 1 GALLON OF SOIL IS NOT REALLY ADEQUATE.
SO ANYONE WHO DISPUTES THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ROOTBOUND PLANTS OR ROOTBIND IS DEFINATELLY WRONG AS I JUST PROVED IT TO MYSELF.
(the information is only retarded if its being read by a retard).
FACT.
