Quality of Pots

[Weezard]

My first grow; I used 4 inch terrra cota clay pots. Big mistake. The plants grew fine, but the roots stick to the sides.
This makes transplanting very hard....:wtf:

That's why the ancient gardeners always kept a long butcher's knife at hand.
Ya just slide it down the side of the pot to the bottom. then circumnavigate, mate!
When ya "thunk' it, the root tips that grab the pot's bottom yank down some stragglies for ya.
And the side cuts are a mild root pruning.
Them stragglies help the roots to dig right in to the new soil.
The old ways ain't dead yet, but they are feelin' poorly.
