myrceneCB1
started grow question 6y ago
Just noticed this strange root growth late in flowering. It's firm and spongy in consistency. Is this normal?

Hey the roots that you are referring to looks like some new small roots coming in. The colour will be off for them as they are pretty fresh. Your plant is looking great. Great job Happy growing

Soil heater
Got a soil heater today, wrapped it around the bottom of my fabric pots. Is that the way I’m supposed to do it? There weren’t any instructions on the package & I’m not big on YouTube tutorials. Ive also been playing music for them during day light. Do any of you do this?

ID this pest - bulb mite?
Trouble in paradise. Issues with new growth on a few plants in my 2nd tent. Rather suddenly. Past experience lead me to suspect a pest eating my roots (no, not a deficiency). Checked soil. Bingo. Bulb mite? Best way to attack issue? I have 3 weeks before these go outdoors. Neem?

Roots growing out of cloth pot
My Purple punch auto roots are growing out the bottom of a 2 gallon cloth pot at 31 days in. Is this a bad thing or a good thing and does it mean I need to transplant?

Snapped Plant, should it stay or should it go?
Two questions. 1. Is my auto that I snapped salvagable? It's the one on the right side of this week's photo. 2. Should I bother with LST starting out? I'm scared now that I ruined one plant, but I also go through an oz a week due to medical reasons and want to increase yields.

White mold?
My smart pot is turning white at the bottom. There also appears to be roots trying to pop through. I put rocks between the pot and plate for air. I have one blade of grass and a tiny weed popping up, so conditions at the top of the pot are okay. Should be worried?

Hey guys! started week 5! She’s looking great, nice and healthy. I’m concerned with the amount of roots growing out the bottom of the pot, should I be worried about this? Or would this be where the roots self prune and this encourages more root growth within the pot? Thanks!

From clones.. A few weeks in, plant on bottom right doesn't appear to be rooting and is wilting.
At a glance, does anyone have any advice for this grow? I am using miracle grow performance organics for soil, two full spectrum 30w LEDs, grow tent is 3x3x10-12. The plant on the bottom right does not seem to be rooting. The rest to my eyes look okay, but wanted advice.

Honey for root growth.
Wondering if anyone has ever used honey to promote rooting when planting germinated (cracked) seeds. Read that honey helps as a natural root enhancer. Only tried once so far as a test but seems not to hurt the seed, if dont do anything else. Wondering if anyone else does this?

NLXBB Is she Rootbound? Drinking 2 L a day in 2 Gal Airpot
My NL x BB is drinking about 2 liters a day. The top leaves aren't up as often these days. They are almost always in a constant state of going up and down. Can she possibly be rootbound in an airpot? Or it's just the fluctuations of wet > dry going sooo fast every day?
