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.

Super low runoff PH, even after corrective measures being taken. Plant otherwise okay, but probably isn't taking all her nutrients.
My runoff PH has been hitting mid-5s, even after flushing (w/ & w/o additive). Been trying to raise with higher PH water, used 7.25PH water today and the runoff was still 5.56. She looks healthy other than some discoloration in some leaves, so it isn't killing her but.....????

Tierra compacta
Suelo compacto, no se a que se debe ni lo que podría causar. puede afectar mi cultivo? Como debería " airear " el sustrato? La planta goza de buena salud pero me preocupa que pueda afectar a futuro. Espero puedan ayudar. Un abrazo a la comunidad y que viva la cannabis!! ✌️

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.

problems with root washing
it's been almost 6 days since I washed the roots and the pot continues to seem heavy (even touching the ground you can feel it is still wet underneath) Do I keep waiting for it to dry completely? is there any trick to speed up this process?

Hello there. I planted the seeds in small cups and on the third day I saw small insects in the soil. Then I removed the tiny seedlings and planted them in clean soil. Is this the right job? Isn't it too early? Please help me?

Hello, I think I have a mold problem in the clay beads. This morning I saw white spots. Can you tell me if they are deposits or mold? If it is mold what should I do? The roots underneath are still in good condition. Thanks you buddys.

I've always gone from root cube directly to 3-gallon pots. I can't compare the difference with transplanting from solo cups because I don't have any experience. Have any of you found a significant advantage to adding an extra transplant? I figure 3-gallon pots aren't THAT big.

Roots from trimmed leaf site?
Possible roots from lowest trimmed leaf site? Has anyone seen this? Is it indicative of other issues? Hard to get a picture as I can't move the plant (filled the tent).
