They wont choke out as long as you got good air inside they will get thicker and thicker amongst themselves. But, bigger tote for bucket lots more air and cool water temps 2 lb plants can be achieved. Cheers

The dirty soil combined with the extremely hot weather is making the plants grow very slowly.

How does it look?
I found out that the Brown mushy was the baccterria from voodoo juice advanced nutrients. So i washed the roots and changed water. And didnt add any new voodoo juice, Does it look okey now or do i still need silver bullet root?

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!

This is what your roots should look like if your growing hydroponics in DWC or RDWC, if you do it properly. I found it to be a lot of work even with the chiller, cleaning the buckets out once every week or 2. Any products available now to keep things clean? Without harming plants

Compact soil, I don't know what it could be due to or what could cause it. Can it affect my grow? How should I "aerate" the substrate? The plant is healthy, but I'm worried it might affect it in the future. I hope you can help. A hug to the community and long live cannabis!! ✌️

Hey, I'm sorry, but in less than 3 days, most of the seeds have germinated unfortunately, but the roots have come out of the jiffy.. when I took the jiffy and poured it out, the tip of the root that was sticking out underneath the jiffy broke. Will the plant recover okay? Thanks, sorry!

Are roots disturbed by light?
Are roots disturbed by light? Is it safe to grow in a clear solo cup? I want to be able to see the roots (so I'm using clear cups), but I'm wondering if I should cover them with another cup or insulation of some type.

Is this root rot? Can it be fixed?
Over the past week I’ve noticed Plant 6 seems to have been stunted in its growth. It also doesn’t seem to be taking up water. All my other plants dry out fairly quickly. This one remains wet for days and days and doesn’t seem to dry out. Can I fix this? Will it kill the plant?

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
