shocking a plant by trimming...

Pot size, root size or anything else does not limit the plants growth.

that's not true. limiting root-mass will limit plant growth, period! just like increasing the amount of medium will enable you to grow larger plants. that's like saying you're going to be able to yield the same from a gallon container as you would from a 5 gallon container. simply not true.

I didnt want to say anythign, silky, cause I hate getting yelled at about stupid crap in forums, but, yeah, I seem to remember reading something similar to what you are describing. I wouldnt be using 5 gallon pots if that were the case (if it didnt matter what size they were). I just dont see my last harvest happening with 1 gallon containers...

It may Slow the growth RATES of the plant but it will not keep the plant from growing is my point. I keep all my plants indoors in 1/2 gallon pots. They never stop growing and never will.
Do they grow a bit slower because of the small pots? Sure. Does it hurt my grow, Hell no.

I iz interested in the answer too...

ya ive also heard and believe that the amount of area your roots have has a big part in the plant size,yeild,etc.. i did a outdoor grow last year and had plants in two different sized containers and the ones in smaller containers were about 1 1/2 to 2 feet smaller and they were all started around the same time
