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.

Root rot? How to fix mid flower
What 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?

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.

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'?

Roots in the tank of my drip system.
Hi, Is it bad that the roots are hanging all into my tank? If yes, how can I prevent this without Investing in a new system? If no, should I add an airstone/s to provide more oxygen? Or don’t do anything.

Substrate moisture retention
Worried my substrate wasn't moist enough at the time of transplanting these girls. Should I expect trouble soon? I'm watering as necessary, until the fabric pots begin to weep into their drip pans. Should I let them dry completely before next watering?

Thirsty look - exposed roots
My plant has been looking thirsty but I know it isn't a water problem. Had another look today and saw some roots were poking through the substrate as I suppose every time I water I'm displacing it! I added some more Coco today, but was wondering if it could be anything else?
