how old how big, pics would help. you can root prune, if they are going into there own buckets just prune enough to seperate.try not to leave root clippings in the water.

Thanks . shouilda done pics befor ei forgot.

sweet roots, its gunna be a bitch getting those into bigger net pots without trimming , but only take what you have to. i would leave them long enough to stay in the water in there new buckets so you wont need the pump. when i root prune i will usually prune on top to. not the top but thin a few lower branches that are inside and not really getting light.
