You don't dig the plant out to re-pot. Place hand over top of pot, with plant stem between fingers. Turn whole thing upside down and give a sharp 'tap' on the bottom, thus loosening the soil ball from the pot and catching the soil ball in your hand. Place in larger/prepared pot, and add soil, then water.

just my opinion

Not too messy, but for you, and most of the rest of us soil growers, yes...it's necessary.
If you are worried about messy, perhaps soap making or cleaning windshields off Wall St. and Broadway is a hobby better suited for you, lol.
Automation...? We aren't growin' commercial hydroponic lettuce, here, lol.

i am sorry it was threads, not threats lol.

guys i am not talking about automatize hydroponic letucce rofl, but i am pretty sure you all smoke a lot so why not let the plants grow easy, thats what i was talking about, balancing the effort with the result, the less effort with the better results..

putting a pot inside a pot that is smaller sound good idea, then you only have to cut the bottom, and even smarter is cut it from the begginning and put some of that thing plastic, just like the aluminium foil but plastic, or even smarter of this... sounds to me construct a collapsable pot, or hydro, well... just an idea

With the brown cardboard looking Jiffy pots I was tellin ya about, it is even less effort :D

You do not have to cut the bottom of the pot off. Just simply place the entire Jiffy pot into the soil of the bigger pot and the roots will grow through the Jiffy pot into the soil when they are ready. Zero transplant shock :thumbsup:

peace

There are in fact growers who will cut the bottom off a plastic pot and just stick the whole mess on the surface of the new pot, letting the roots grow down in search of new soil.
This might be helpful to growers who have plenty of headroom but not a lot of floor space and want to maximize plant count in a small space; or, maximize volume to footprint ratios. I think the BOG started that fad.
It's also a good way to deal with a plant that's 'stuck' in a terra cotta pot- just break the bottom of the pot off with a hammer and put it On a new pot.
