I have been doing this for a few harvest and every time it's been awesome and Its deffinitely helping my yield. I have been vegging my plants in 2 liter pots and waiting for them to get super root bound. To the point they even start looking like shit...... Then before I switch to flower I repot to 5 gallon buckets and let my plants recover before I switch. Well my belief is the roots start really taking off when they get all this extra room. And the plant just starts growing outrageously. I feel as if the plants is flourishing and if I switch them while they are growing so great then it looks like I get a lot more growth and flower and the plant is at it most efficient and most vigorous time while those roots are searching and digging deeper. Does this help the plant take off when it goes to flower and help it produce more. Almost every plant I do this way atleast triples in size... And yields have been better. Any input?
Please read! Is it bad to do this?
I think the part of letting the roots fill the container is good, but the part of letting them look bad is not. If you use fabric or air pots the roots will fill the container and not get root bound. Then the healthy plant will explode with growth when transplanted.

That makes a lot of sense. Deffinitely going to move to fabric pots on my next harvest. Tired of these 5 gallon buckets from Home Depot lol. Does it matter if I stress the plant that much. As long as I give it the time to recover before I switch it should always be fine right?
In general the less stress the better. We want the plant to smoothly sail on into the sunset. Yeah you can bring her back to health but why reduce health in the first place?

ya any stress going in to flowering will just slow down bud making as the plant is trying to heal it self
