These are most likely just until the plant roots into the soil….after that, you’ll have to cut the roots away to lift the top pot. There’s lotsa ways to grow weed…. Not everyone uses automation, etc.

Bottom of what pot? They will grow right out of the bottom of small pot and into the larger pot! All he did was make life easy vs digging a hole and removing the plant from the small pot cuz its gonna grow the same as if u did there is just no lag time cuz no shock they are having to get over!

So you guys think this is an OK method and he's not holding the plant back from living up to its fullest potential?
It's a small pot and very easily able to take the plant out without disturbing the roots much at all. I have transplanted the same size pot and it had a bottom to it. It would be much easier with the pot that he's showing.

If I'm transplanting from that size of pot to a much larger one, I'm not fully filling up larger pot. I'm just gonna fill the larger pot so that the transplant will sit at my desired final level. Then it's real easy just to fill in the sides until it's at the proper level. Not any extra work or anything that makes it more difficult really.

The whole theme of the video and his Methodology is a living soil in a large pot that will be ran in that pot for many runs without dumping the media between runs, re-amending the media and then repotting.

The environment in the little pot is not gonna be the same as the big pot. It's gonna dry out WELL before the rest of the 30 gal pot.......and that was the smallest pot. If he still top dressed the small pot, the PROPER environment on the top dressed media, can not be maintained without more frequent waterings than the 30-65 gal round pots would need.

I'm not saying this can't be done with the Ruth Stout style top layering! I'm saying that it complicates the grow needlessly, makes more work and just leaves More of an ave for things to go wrong.

So for the less than a minute of work to remove the bag before transplanting, you're going to continue to separately water a section of your plant (over it's full life cycle and longer if it is a Mom) and set up a support system that may or may not be needed else wise. if transplanted conveniently?


Like I said, I don't have any problems with complicating procedures.......DUH! I'm gonna run an automated watering system, have controllers for just about everything and phone control for most of the rest..... but there absolutely has to be advantages to doing so! I see absolutely no advantages whatsoever using this method!


Just like I asked him, What is the advantage in using this method?

Yes

Perhaps you’re just entirely too closed minded to consider anything that your opinion doesn’t agree with…..

Not too mention….and I don’t know if the grower in question does this, for this purpose…. But, that’s literally the definition of a no till soil…. Sever the roots after harvest, feed the soil/microbes…. Plug another plant in, when ready. You could have worms doing their thing, all that. It’s a rather good idea if you ask me….

No I'm just a lazy FUGGER! I don't like additional work without the benefits.
Have you seen anyone do it that way?

Close minded is not a term that applies to me!
If my dad was still alive, he would definitely tell you that I'm pretty much the opposite! When my dad would tell me something or show me something I would always have to ask more questions to know exactly how something functions or why it was performing such a manner. And that was when I was a little kid , which only got worse when I started school !

That's why when I found the Scientific Method, my little mind found where I could logically explain something, consistently.
The old county extension agent I used to have when I owned the farm, was a closed minded fugger for sure! If a method works, it works!

If something works, it works! If one method needs more work to accomplish the same end, then why do it?
You say I'm the one that's close minded, yet you have not proposed any advantages to this guy's method. I have not said it would not work, but I did say that it would take more work over the entire grow.

I posted this video so I might find someone that can come up with an advantage in doing it with this method that causes more work. I was thinking maybe I could learn something! I really don't think close minded people want to learn new things.

So far, the only thing I've learned is someone thinks I'm close minded!
