I would just put the fabric pot right into the larger pot and fill with soil, the roots will grow right through. I'm currently using plastic pots so obviously I'm not doing that now.Beautiful plants and peppers. Stoney on your Sherbert did you just take your smaller fabric pots and upot into a bigger pot twice? Did you leave the fabric intact and just put soil around the outside? I'm vegging a bcp right now. I'm going to take and seat over here and pass this around.
Thanks Neiko I have thought about doing that before but haven't so glad to know. I have some in veg that I want to up pot so I'm going to use this method as I use fabric after the 1 qts plastic. My Bcp is in 5 gal now but think I will definitely up pot it like that.I would just put the fabric pot right into the larger pot and fill with soil, the roots will grow right through.

Thank you Stoney that ruler is a great tip. I just came from hydro and going to up pot tomorrow into 15 gal.Neiko's right--and that's absolutely what I would do if I wasn't so concerned with getting more uses out of my fabric pots. My method damages the roots a bit, but I just coat them Roots! powder and they don't seem too much worse for it afterwards.
On this plant, I went from 1 gal hard plastic (2 mo) , into 7 gal hard plastic (1mo), into 20 gal fabric. Lost a few branches outside in the wind, otherwise she might have taken up a full 50%+ of this tent!
For uppotting fabrics, I'll take a ruler, and wait for the soil to be really good and dry. When I say 'good and dry', I mean the soil is pulling itself away from the fabric liner. If you've never dried it out that much, try it--the plant won't wilt before it gets to the point I'm talking about, at least with our Kit soil. The soil will be tight and together, and the fabric loosely attached to whatever roots around the outside.
So when it's good n dry, I'll run that ruler gently around the inside of the fabric between the soil and the pot and seprate whatever roots maybe left connecting the two. Thanks to wet/dry routines, the roots tend to stay nice and fine, so breaking them is an easy task when it's dry. Then gently carefully peel the bottom of the bag away using your fingertips, and with some doing, you should be able to pull it out the bag keeping the rootball entirely intact. I then dust it heavily with Roots!, drop her into the bigger pot, and apply Transplant Drench.
Fabric pots help me maintain my environment much better, stabilizing temps and humidity better for me, but the hassle of up-potting in this way can be a major deterrent. Always on the lookout for a better method--if you don't mind sacraficing the pot, putting it straight in is a surefire way to have a seamless up-potting.

You can also just flip the plant upside down and have a helper hold the trunk of the plant and grab the bottom of the pot and give a quick jerk straight up and it will come right off. When I would just transplant the smaller fabric pot into the bigger one I didn't lose it forever. At harvest just break up the rootball and recover your smaller pot.
No worries on the Devils Carnival, Stoney - they're all females.
It's a Carnival fem, pollinated by a reversed DDA fem. Then a non-auto F1 selfed (partially reversed) to get these F2s. So far, they come out 1/4 auto and 1/4 purple. Yours is clearly not an auto.
They're all fast. I've harvested 6 of them and all the photos, even a heavy Carnival leaner, came in at 8 weeks past flip. None of them stretched much more than double, so take your time with training.
