Peat Pellet Mesh - Remove It?
SurlyMahnstarted grow question 4 years ago
Do I need to remove the mesh around the peat pellets when I put them in soil? Will the roots pass through them? I was told today that I should cut it away. Thoughts?

By removing the outer mesh you risk damaging/stressing the roots of the seedling. As other have stated the roots will easily find their way through that mesh and that little root plug will become a nice anchor for your roof ball. Sometimes less is more! But everything is looking great so far, keep it up 👍

Roots will easily pass through. You can put them directly into the soil. Good luck.

Mold on roots??After having my ph problem "fixed" (plants are still turning lime), I wanted to check the second runoff, I lift up the pot, lo and behold, the roots have some "white" stuff around their tips, is this mold????
I can smear it on my finger, it leaves somewhat of a trail

Why plants are growing differentlySame strain different growth rates and patterns. One plant is shorter and wider while the other plant is taller. Basically the same amount of leaves.
The shorter and wider plant was repotted a week sooner in cycle. Could that be the reason? Or genetics?Plant. Too short

H2O2 and/or water submersion look to "kill" it, but if it's a benefic "mold", we can let them aliveWeek 6
