Things have been going well this last week. Decided it was time to do some topping to start my manifold. topped down to the 2nd node and started to LST the branches down to form the manifold. Been able to water every 3 days with the pure coco which is nice and helps save me some nutes. This plant is #2 as far as size and growing vigor. It recovered from the topping pretty much immediately as over the few days following I had to readjust the plant ties a couple times.
airpots would not prevent any rootbound whatsoever.. honestly its just bad and expensive.. getting the pot dry way too fast and letting trouble (bugs) an easy route to the rootzone..
Plants look like they need a little N boost, overall looking sweet good luck!:)
What makes you say that? Have you used airpots? I used cloth pots before and airpots essentially do the same thing but require less maintenance for reuse. I just grew 2 autos in 1 gal cloth pots and didnt have either go rootbound. Just wound up with the pot being filled with a giant evely distributed root ball. Im not worried about bugs because my grow room is clean. I dont ever let my pots get dry anyways i water every 2-3 days right now and the coco doesnt dry out in that time. The airflow through the pot is also very helpful to make sure the roots have oxygen readily available.What kind of pots do you use?
