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

Planting directly into soil with full of other roots? (Outdoor Guerilla Autoflower)The site is full of brambles with dense rootzones. I have dug a hole but its full of roots. Is it OK if I cut down every single root from my hole? Could my plant catch bacteria and etc from the brambles roots? Won't the brambles roots suck away all my nutrient from my plant?Roots. Other

Повредил Корни автоцвета при пересадкеУважаемые, знатоки! При пересадки автоцвета из стакана в большую емкость на стадии 2 недели , я повредил ему корни, почти все нижние оторвались. Подскажите, может ему уже 100% быть карликовым? Может мне не стоит тратить время на него, так как немного места в боксе?Roots. Other
