problems with root washing
Grrrowerstarted grow question 5 years ago
it's been almost 6 days since I washed the roots and the pot continues to seem heavy (even touching the ground you can feel it is still wet underneath)
Do I keep waiting for it to dry completely? is there any trick to speed up this process?

Wait until it naturally dry. Roots are going to suck all the water inside flushing their nutes. You shouldn't have any problem. I have some plant which take 7 days to completely dry and some others which take just 2 or 3 days. It depends on how many roots there are and how big is the plant!

I prefer to wait..since your growing with led it’s normal that the soil needs more time to dry
As long as there is water in the pot your plants have enough to transpire
I do my veg under led and with younger plants it sometimes kan take up to 10 days in between waterings or feedings
And by the look of your plant she’s not asking for more water so let her dry out a bit further until you feel a good difference in weight of the pot
Happy growing and stay safe
