hello..

i noticed that the roots of my plant in a 3g pot came out from the drain holes.. the plant is 13 inches tall? does that mean i shoul transplanet to bigger pot ? or its normal?

Thanks
 
At 13 inches a 3 gallon pot is loads of room. I wouldn't worry about it.
 
Thanks guys.. at which tall should i transplant ?
 
the same thing happened to me in the beginning of flower, but they go back in and i am finishing in the same pots.
 
Thanks lo775 & timdog4.. so i guess i dont need to transplant
 
naw i wouldnt transplant right now unless you see a slow in growth or stunting you should be fine
 
ya ur good.
Roots first grow down to bottom....then they hit bottom and start forming around the base of the pot, and work they way back up to the top...

so im sure just a few root heads popped out the holes, but you should have plenty of room.
 
Hey there red_ss,

If you have a catch pan under the container you might want to consider watering from underneath. Those roots will **** up just what the plant and the soil need, and you will find that you have better control on the watering.
Just my $0.02
