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

Root rot? How to fix mid flowerWhat 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?Leaves. Other

Leaning Plant /Could really do with some advice on the lean if anyone has any? Should I dig her up very carefully before her root mass gets too big and try to straighten her out? Should I put a little gardening stick in there and tie the stem to it to support her?
