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.

Gophers ate 75% of my girls lifeline
Should I remove some of the branches and leaves from a 7’ plant that gophers ate 75% through the stalk and roots through the bottom of a fabric pot? The plant still looks fairly good .

How to get feminised plants to flower
How do I get my feminised plants to start flowering outside / greenhouse? I'm a bit of a newbie to growing my own and thought I'd brought Autoflowers but I've realised that they're not. They are very big now (White Widow) and not started flowering like my others did.

Hey guys! started week 5! She’s looking great, nice and healthy. I’m concerned with the amount of roots growing out the bottom of the pot, should I be worried about this? Or would this be where the roots self prune and this encourages more root growth within the pot? Thanks!

Feeding with dense roots?
So I'm using 5 and 7 gallon pots and I'm using Gaia greens and some worm poo for my feed but once they start to take off into flower, all of my dry amendments build up on top bc of the roots. I want to stay organic but how can I feed these girls once the roots block up the pot?

Help!! Anybody know what this weird substance on my plant is??
Don’t know what this white substance is. Looks like crystals, could it be dried nutrients or is it powdery mildew??? Never seen it before so a little worried. Thanks in advance for any help on this!

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!

Whit on fabric pot
Hi there, i have some white stuff on the fabric pot and was hoping someone could point me out to what it is and if it will do any harm to the plants? I'm thinking it could be a salt buildup or something like that? Please advise, thanks

Seedling grew tap root but has white cotyledons
Sprouted two bubba kush, first one is fine but second one never popped through the soil. Was worried it was stuck so I removed the shell, and it revealed a white bulb looking structure that I was able to split to reveal the white cotyledons. Is the plant trash? Its been 24 hours

Hydroponic Roots Question
okay, thanks in advance! How long does it take for the roots to grow out of rockwool & into the water? I used shorter cubes this time. Does the bubbling water ever reach the rockwool, or just a level to reach the roots?
