Roots poking through bottom of pot.
Luv2Growstarted grow question 4 years ago
I just noticed yesterday that I’m starting to have a significant amount of roots shooting through the bottom of the pot. This far into the grow, would you recommend transplanting into a 5 gallon fabric or you think she’ll be ok?

I wouldn't transplant an auto this far into the grow, you will have a significant reduction in yield. When growing in fabric pots the roots will air prune once they break through the pot material and force the plant to send out new roots laterally, so you won't get root bound. Long story short, she'll be fine just the way she is. Happy growing.

No, I wouldn’t transplant after you are into flowering. The roots slow with growth as the plant does as flower progresses. Unless you are having to water every day or multiple times a day at this point it is totally within what you’d want. I want to be watering every day by the last 2 weeks for fast uptake of final nutrients and fast flushing. So I adjust container size for plant size I want and what is standard for the specific genetics. Happy Growing!

Mykorrhiza ohne umtopfen?ich benutze BioTabs Mycotrex und habe deswegen meine Autoflower zu erst im kleinen Topf gesetzt, um sie dann beim Umtopfen in den finalen Behälter mit diesen Pilzen zu impfen. Hierzu werden 5g des Pulvers mit in das Pflanzloch gegeben. Gibt es für Autoflower eine bessere Methode?2 years ago

Blätter gucken aus Samen ohne Stamm?Ich habe 3 Purple Punch Samen gekauft. Eine hat eine es nicht geschafft nach 9 Tagen die Wurzeln aus dem Samen hinaus wachsen zu lassen. Aber diese hat bereits die zwei runden Blätter entwickelt ohne Stamm. Liegt das an der Qualität des Samens oder habe ich etwas nicht beachtet?Plant. Too short

Can root damage cause this?The little f*cker has a major damage to his taproot since germination phase. I accidently broke the tip of it. But she was very strong. Fought for her life and won the battle. Now she is 12 days old and shows this. Is this caused by the root damage or from other circumstances?Leaves. Other

White bumps/lesions on stem base Day 19 veg auto, is it an issue?White spots/lesions growing on stem base but not on leaves or anywhere else?
This started within the last 1-3 days.
The stem "splitting" on the skin was present since it was sagging and bounced back fine.
Worried this is mold/infection from soil. Packed more soil onto the top (!)2 years ago

Problem: Soil gets dry and Eazy Plug keeps lifting which could cause root damage.Is there anyway I can avoid this besides keeping it wet and pressed down until stronger roots form? I'm worried about the root structure and stress if I have to keep pressing it into the soil...Week 2

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?a year ago

Purple stems/AdviceI am a new grower and I noticed the stalks/stems on both of my plants are purple. They are clones on week 5, I use FoxFarms ocean forest soil and General Hydroponics FloraSeries along with CALiMAGic for nutrients. Is there anything else that appears to be wrong as well?Roots.

Root rot? How to fix mid flowerWhat is this and how do I fix it! I am mid flower, plant is not drinking as much as usual, there are several "bleached" spots that I haven't been able to account for-- my guess is root rot despite plant otherwise seeming ok.
How do I fix this midflower with home items?Leaves. Other

Adding soil to the new roots on stemHello everyone, after the night I noticed that there are a lot of new roots trying to grow from stem. I know this is ok, but I wonder can I add some soil on top of the existing to help develop these roots? Won't it cause stem rot? I want to fill the space in my potWeek 3
