Root system not looking good, correct?
kevzzzstarted grow question 5y ago
This is /not/ how a root system should look at 15 days, correct? It looks like the roots were suffocated. Would perlite help going forward in the future? Had abt 20% plite. Is the organic potting soil I got just low quality and too dense? I definitely chronically overwatered too

Oh no there should be so much more! They just drowned and stopped growing.. I'd toss and start again. Improve the drainage or go buy a fabric pot. I'm in love with them fixes that issue instantly!! Happy growing!

Thanks friends –– I think I'm going to use a plastic clear solo cup with much more perlite and a bit of coco coir for the first bit so I can see what's going on with the soil and maybe roots, and fabric pots for the transplant. Thanks as always for the help

Soil is supposed to be the easiest way to grow yet so many have so many problems. I grow in straight nutrimix HP . It's a peat and perlite mix. It makes a great medium and plants grow as fast as in rdwc. Water feed water feed. Dont have to wonder if your soil is or has lost nutes. Much easier but I get it, people think organic ferts is different than hydro ferts so their doing something better for their health.

Kratky isn’t working wellKratky system isn’t working well for my girl.
She keeps growing slowly thanks to some hydratation with the spray but the roots never reached the water.
I never used rockwool for her, only perlite. What can I do?
It’s almost 1 month old!

Help my plants to recover and thrive :)Coco grow: seedlings started to droop. Maybe caused by over watering? During transplant I found out the roots were completely underdeveloped. The transplant shocked the plants. Growth is stunted. What can I do to get them to recover and thrive? Consult my diary for more details.

Cheap Bennies?Looking for a cheap alternative to Orca/Recharge/Mic. Mass/Tarantula or something to make crazy root growth in DWC and keep root rot at bay. Would toilet compost microbes work? Pond sludge remover has helped me but I'm hoping others have ideas - I want roots like in the pic!
