Man we have had solo cup grows here, full term. It is nowhere NEAR being root bound.

It is when the roots are bunched up in a small area. I don't know what slow growing strain you are growing but in that size container mine would all be rootbound not much more tgan 3 weeks. The roots grow fast if you growing good weed!

That plant is healthy, but deformed. I see no evidence of it being root bound whatsoever.

The evidence is in its size and how low the soil is in that little cup. Are you just a troll trying to argue? This is common sense. Rule of thumb, when the leaves pass cups perimeter, its time to transplant. Those are way past that point

No, no I'm not. I know lots of people who grow through flower in solo cups for fun. Do a search here on this site. There ought to be a dozen or so of such threads.

Also, I don't really often go by anecdotal information on when to transplant. The plants tell me. They could be transplanted, but they are not root bound.
 
A properly fed plant given decent growing conditions can thrive in a small pot.

I've posted this plant before but will do it again to illustrate how with proper care a plant can grow big and healthy in a small pot.

The plant size, please stop trying to fool him in the wrong direction for sake of arguing with me, it will only do those plants good to transplant them now!
 
That is indeed a small pot, and must have took a long time to veg and train. A plant that has roots able to spread freely thrives better than that and produces more, sooner

A plant that has a stronger, more elaborate and full root system prior to transplanting will take the transplanting much better, and will root out quicker allowing the plant to re-focus on vertical growth sooner.

You're replying to, and arguing with yourself in this post. You literally quoted yourself, then told yourself to stop fooling him.

Actually i didnt. Encouraging small pots does not make hogh yielding plants nearly as quick. What you have on that plant, mine produces in 3 months start to finish no messing around

Not true because in nature this is overall not the case. Roots that are free to roam as far as they please is a plant that needs to work less on overcoming these boundaries not so much found in nature like a fully encased plant medium
