Hello, Shovelhandle and Lowryderulez. If this thread has a motto, it's, "Pot's so hardy even HE can't kill it!"

Speaking of which, I've decided that the Cannabis plant is a masochist. This judgment is based both on its
response to trauma and on its failure to evolve legs and flee my stewardship.

Let's contrast the Jamstigator lifting method:

[Let it dry thoroughly, then flip it upside down and tap the bottom of the pot until it comes out."

- with mine -

1. Grab the stem and pretend you're starting a lawn mower.
2. Quickly let go when roots begin to tear, then pause for brief, ineffective thought.
3. Grasp the pot midway down on opposite sides, pick it up and squeeze while grunting like a gorilla.
4. Fill the resulting voids on either side of the flattened root ball with fresh dirt.
5. Reflect on what you've done, write your alma mater and ask them to rescind your degrees.*

Amazingly, both squeezed plants are exploding. Maybe they interpreted it as a hug?
