minigroww
started grow question 5y ago
I have noticed what seem to be roots poking up through the substrate really close to the stem. Is this normal or should I be worried?

They are just reaching for moisture, nothing to worry about. Once they get established anything above soil will harden up.

Flushing
Should flushing have any runoff? Also how will they react when I flush and the pH has been to high? Was 7 and I put 6.1, 1.7L, got around 0.3L runoff. Also one girl isn't drinking, been 3 days and still wet whilst the others want more. Should I harvest her? Thanks Hard nice nugs

What's happening with this seedling?
Hey guys! So, I'm having some doubts with one of my seeds, as it looks like it sprouted upside down. Can't see any cotyledones, or even signs of the seed, that's what make me believe it's upside down. Any ideas? RH in the tent has been quite low, around 15/20%. thanks!

Adding soil to the new roots on stem
Hello 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 pot

Wood chips or spent mushroom straw?
So, woodchips, I know starve the soil of nitrogen, at first. From my understanding in the long run it would be more beneficial? I'm moving to full organic in the next run and from there on so any references would be very helpful!

White Mold at Roots
I got some kind of white mold in the root area, I'm not sure what it is but I think I know what caused it, The reason is I was being kinda sloppy with letting the run off water sit under the plants for a day or two. Should I flush the plants now and cut them? And will it spread?

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!

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?

First time I'm using air pots. I always empty the trays with runoff water (if there is any) and I noticed the roots on the bottom side. They seem rather long? I was under the assumption they would be 'air pruned'?
