root bound during flowering question

[stinkyattic]

I take my pot (usually a 1 gallon) and I literally just cut the bottom off the pot with either a sharp serrated knife or a Dremmel. I then plop the whole pot right into the dirt. The roots will grow into the new soil. .

Elevated transplanting, a la BOG.

For me, the absolute tell tale sign of rootbound is curled under tips of leaves. Unless it does that, I generally assume its a different problem.

Yup agreed. And the upside-down canoe leaves.
