i have a few plants in 3gal buckets and the roots have grown through the drain holes and into the ground. I need to move the girls to another location. how much shock would be caused if i cut the roots off then transplanted into bigger pots and moved it.

maybe enough to stunt growth for a week. it wont kill your plants.

The plant will love you for doing that

Fresh roots into fresh soil and away she goes.

Yeah like Toke said.. it may stunt them.. but that doesn't mean it will. Just cut the roots off at the pot and transplant it.

Just like smokey said..Maybe even buy yourself some Terra Rhizotonic, great for what your gonna do, helps stop the shock and more....good luck
