How long can I veg in small container until root bound?

Update!

I was finally able to make space in the flowering cab. I repotted my 5 week old plants to their 11l / 3 gallon pots.

And I took a picture of 2 plants while transplanting. What are your opinions on these, did they get root bound?

i feel like u can keep them in small containers.. just pick up the container and squish it a little to losen up the roots a little here and there.. i kept a mother in a 5 gallon grow bag for 7 months.. then after taking over 100 clones.. the plant lived for like 2 weeks longer then died on its own .

Thats almost a sad story...

Hi Greenops,

I'm sure you don't care anymore because this thread is over a year old, but those plants look perfect to me for transplant. I think you did it at just the right time!

This has been really helpful for me because my plants are in 1 gallon containers and I was searching about when to transplant them. Thanks for the info and update, I'll try to get them at the same stage you did.
