Some people will argue that they get better yields when their roots are established and no longer growing in their pots.

I haven't been growing long enough to tell for myself. But this is coming from very seasoned commercial growers.

If the roots can keep growing so do the yields. I don't care who said it.

I agree.

I've noticed a DIRECT correlation with the size of my yields and the size of my containers....

For example, with my current grow, I didn't want to transplant until sex had been established, so some of them are still in 16oz cups.

The plants are the right height for their age, yet the foliage has almost been "miniaturized"...  The leaves are all small, about 3" long, but as soon as I transplanted up to 1 gallon when sex was determined, the leaves and stems almost instantly (2 days) became much larger, although the plant didn't grow much taller, the vegetation just became larger and more mature looking, thus making the plant look more full and large.

That's just an example but I notice the same thing every single time I choose to use small containers.  I just picture the plant as having as many roots below the surface as the amount of leaves/branches above the surface... ya know what i'm saying?

Here's a picture to help visualize what I mean...

I know duh but I just mean, a circle with the same diameter as a square holds how much more?  like 20-30% more or something? 

Someone figure it out...

Yes sir.  A pot in the shape of a cube with a side length of 2 feet holds 8 cubic feet.  A cylindrical pot with base diameter of 2 feet and a height of 2 feet holds 6.283.  So it holds 27% more.

Nice!  That's really good information actually!

My growbags were all black. Those you found kick ass on the ones I was using.

  Glad I could be of some use!  I liked them because of the white exterior, would maybe help reflect some light back into the room?

When your roots fill your pot and don't have more medium to grow in or space in the pot ... your plants will grow more rapidly than if the medium/pot allows for more root growth.

I don't know if this is true but it makes sense to me. Esp in a sog.
