Transplanting Question

[pushit]

I was transplanting the other night and I was wondering how many people break up the rootball or how many people just transplant as is? I've done it both ways with no noticeable difference. Attached is a pic( sorry about hps) that is coming out of a 1 gal and going into 3 gal. I'm curious to which route you choose?

I've done it both ways (to house plants not MJ) and never noticed a significant difference between either way but when I do break up the root ball I do it gently.

I also tend to let it be. But occasionally the roots can become bound(wrap in a circle) in the bottom of the pot. I do pull that mass off. I do usually prune, bottom branches of plant.

Let it be, let it be, let it be yea let it be

I never touch the root ball. That is how I was taught.

I don't let them get root bond because the roots growing around the sides are wasted I transplant as soon as the roots reach the sides. The more roots the more flowers.......let em be.

I use to take a sharp steak knife and slice into the root ball from four sides & cut away some lower roots and soil.

Then I got lazy. It kinda depends on how much longer you are gonna veg... IMO
Roots don't grow much more during flowering, usually.

I'm no expert but I agree with growmamma.

I just transplant it without messing with the rootball. I would think this would cause less shock on the plant.
