Root bound plants

Is there a formula that will give a grower a clue as to how far down the roots are in your pots when vegging. Something like,(if it's got a foot above the pot, then there will be a foot below the the top of the soil) or something along those terms? Or should you just nudge the plant out of the pot and have a look.

The roots come out of the bottom holes..
Duhhhhh, Lolll

i do beleive a gal pot per foot of plant will suffice, two foot plant = two gal plant pot

What you need are fabric pots.
Although one of the most common responses are no less than 5 gallon, 3 gallon is acceptable, but I don't know the formula to help you out bro.

See this video on air pruning. Fabric and buckets with holes in them air prune roots .http://www.airpotgarden.com/store/index.php?app=gbu0&ns=display&ref=airpotworks

Then see my sig!

I have heard that a gallon per month of life is a good rule of thumb. So for 1 month veg and 2 flower a 3 gallon pot would be used.

Thanks PR. I actually made an air rooting bucket. I made slots down the side from top to bottom and filled the bucket with landscaping fabric.
