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

PH
I messed up & forgot to PH balance my water before using it. It was 9.4 before I mixed in molasses & formulex. I put 1 gallon in each pot. I realized right after I did that, that I forgot. I tried to fix it by adding a 1/2 gal. To each of just plain 6.1 ph water. What now tho ??

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.

Roots came outside the pot. Should I transplant it?
This is my OG kush fem in vegetation, with main lining. It's in a plastic 25L pot. I just noticed the roots has come outside the pot from the holes. Is it dangerous to leave it like this or I must transplant it? It still has a long way to go

Molasses
Molasses when watering or no ? I know people use it for compost tea & flushing but I’ve been using it in my water (1 tbsp) for past few watering. Should I do this or just use it for flushing?

Root Knot Nematode? Larvae? I think it killed this seedling.
I found some type of critter crawling around what was left of the root of a dead seedling. I'd love to know what it is, and what to do with the other 2 plants in the tent. I pulled this one and removed the bucket from the tent. Video in diary. Extremely hard to see in still photo

Cutting the bottom of biodegradable pots ?
And when I will put them in the large 30l pots within 1 week, I am thinking of cutting the bottom of the biodegradable pots (because I have read that sometimes the roots have trouble getting through). Is it a good idea ?

Mesh plastic pots and root health?
Is using these mesh plastic pots going to give me issues with lights getting to the roots for young seedlings? I plan to transplant into fabric pots well before they fill these up with roots, but they will likely be in these mesh plastic pots for 2ish weeks.

Indoor companions in the same container? I already use the CO2 mushroom bags. But what about in with the plants container an in an indoor grow?
I am using coco coir and perlite as the medium. I would assume it would only make a difference if it was in the same container as the plants to interact. Or be a fungus, I think most produce at least some amount of CO2. Can I use companion fungus/plants in the same pot?
