started grow question 5y 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

Root loss shock?
Can I do anything?! I had her in with another seedling for the 1st 14 days and when I went to transplant them into their own pots their roots were completely entwined around each other. I tried to separate them but a good chunk of roots came away. They have both wilted badly!

Root Knot Nematode? Larvae? I think it killed this seedling.
I found some type of critter crawling around what was left of the root of a dead seedling. I'd love to know what it is, and what to do with the other 2 plants in the tent. I pulled this one and removed the bucket from the tent. Video in diary. Extremely hard to see in still photo

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?

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?

Leaves point down/slow growth/ maybe rootbound or root rot? Did I fuck up transplanting too soon?
I'm on the 3 week of the grow. The leaves started pointing down and they are growing very slowly. Since I have seen the roots on the bottom of the vase early on I thought the problem was rootbound so I transplanted them. But they are very small. Did I do wrong? Signs of root rot?

Roots crawled up in rapid rooters plug.
Could it be better if I cut a hole at the bottom of the plug so the roots could've found a space to grow into?

Liquid oxygen
Would you all use this in your water when trying to give oxygen to the roots? I’m noticing some really dense, not drying up that quickly soil so it’s making me think that they can’t breath. I don’t know, just making sure every part of the plant is happy & healthy.

hydrogen peroxide to do or not to do that is the question?
anyone have any positive results from using hydrogen peroxide in their resevior tank. im sure if your using organic nutes its probably not a great idea because HP breaks down organic matter into o2 but im not using organic nutes and my thought was to use it to control alge?
