Roots sticking out in 3 gallon is this normal 2 weeks after transplant?
Faegrowsstarted grow question 4 years ago
I grow in a 3 gallon and the roots are sticking out beneath but the plant has not substantially grown and she only got transplanted 2 weeks ago to this pot. Is this normal for fabric pots? I read that it’s normal for the roots to shoot down first and than fill up the rest?

Yeah, dont panic. They "air trim" themselves and shoot back into the pot filling the pot. It's a great sign, shes producing some nice healthy looking roots!
Hope this helps 🙂

That's one of the best thing with fabric pots. They air trim the roots when they stick out the pot. It will help your plant establish a good root zone without it getting pot bound. Absolutely nothing to worry about.

Purple stems/AdviceI am a new grower and I noticed the stalks/stems on both of my plants are purple. They are clones on week 5, I use FoxFarms ocean forest soil and General Hydroponics FloraSeries along with CALiMAGic for nutrients. Is there anything else that appears to be wrong as well?Roots.

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?a year ago

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. Other

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 (!)2 years ago

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

FlushingShould flushing have any runoff? Also how will they react when I flush and the pH has been to high? Was 7 and I put 6.1, 1.7L, got around 0.3L runoff. Also one girl isn't drinking, been 3 days and still wet whilst the others want more. Should I harvest her? Thanks

Mold between the pots and on the soil's surface, should I be worried ?So my pots are very close to one another so they can't breathe enough but my space is quite limited and in veg maybe there was not enough extraction. Now that they are in the flowering room they have a little more space but still too cramped. It's just one or 2 pots out of six2 years ago

Tap root surfacedHello
I have zero experience in growing cannabis. I germinated 2 autoflowers and both popped but, one tap root grew upwards. As soon as I noticed it I reposition it as carefully and easily as possible.Being an autoflower does it even have a chance. Posted pic on diary.
