You can trim roots when growing bonsai with great success but it takes practice and ultimately that is not what you are going for... just let it be. At this stage, if you remove roots the plant will just put more energy into replacing them and this will slow the top vegative growth. I would be very pleased with your current development, there is a healthy root mass to draw up the essential nutrition the plants need to develop. Keep doing what you are doing and you will get a reward at the end 🙏

NOooooooooooo never... If they are photoperiod then u just transplant her into bigger container but first gently rub out the roots.. Kinda loosen them up before puting in new pot.. 2nd make sure you soak the old one( before transplant) .. And the new pot/soil then loosen root alittle then put her in her new home and water her after.. 3rd best to do it in the evening time when its cool and the soil has cooled some....good luck family👍👍👍💪💪💪😎😎

I have trimmed roots in the past and had good results, I didn't trim lots away. After the 4th week I stop trimming them and let them fill the container. Also make sure the roots that get cut off don't end up in the res. The scissors have to be sterile. I have been advised against doing it. If you think they are causing a problem cutting an inch off prob won't make a difference, don't cut the tap root if that's in amongst them.

You can trim roots, if their blocking returns, or had some root rot., but I would not remove roots for no reason... Cheers

Tipped, Squashed Plant, Wobbly Trunk - Will it Survive?Plant fell over and squashed against itself.
The base of the trunk is wobbly but still attached deep down.
I've packed soil around the base of the trunk to reinforce.
I'm about 2 weeks from chop and want to know if it's worth harvesting now or if plant/yield will be fine?

Problem: Soil gets dry and Eazy Plug keeps lifting which could cause root damage.Is there anyway I can avoid this besides keeping it wet and pressed down until stronger roots form? I'm worried about the root structure and stress if I have to keep pressing it into the soil...Week 2

White bumps/lesions on stem base Day 19 veg auto, is it an issue?White spots/lesions growing on stem base but not on leaves or anywhere else?
This started within the last 1-3 days.
The stem "splitting" on the skin was present since it was sagging and bounced back fine.
Worried this is mold/infection from soil. Packed more soil onto the top (!)

Can root damage cause this?The little f*cker has a major damage to his taproot since germination phase. I accidently broke the tip of it. But she was very strong. Fought for her life and won the battle. Now she is 12 days old and shows this. Is this caused by the root damage or from other circumstances?

Leaves point down/slow growth/ maybe rootbound or root rot? Did I fuck up transplanting too soon?I'm on the 3 week of the grow. The leaves started pointing down and they are growing very slowly. Since I have seen the roots on the bottom of the vase early on I thought the problem was rootbound so I transplanted them. But they are very small. Did I do wrong? Signs of root rot?
