Roots poking through bottom of pot.

I just noticed yesterday that I’m starting to have a significant amount of roots shooting through the bottom of the pot. This far into the grow, would you recommend transplanting into a 5 gallon fabric or you think she’ll be ok?

I wouldn't transplant an auto this far into the grow, you will have a significant reduction in yield. When growing in fabric pots the roots will air prune once they break through the pot material and force the plant to send out new roots laterally, so you won't get root bound. Long story short, she'll be fine just the way she is. Happy growing.

No, I wouldn’t transplant after you are into flowering. The roots slow with growth as the plant does as flower progresses. Unless you are having to water every day or multiple times a day at this point it is totally within what you’d want. I want to be watering every day by the last 2 weeks for fast uptake of final nutrients and fast flushing. So I adjust container size for plant size I want and what is standard for the specific genetics. Happy Growing!
