Roots growing out of cloth pot
Crybabypete
started grow question 4y ago
My Purple punch auto roots are growing out the bottom of a 2 gallon cloth pot at 31 days in. Is this a bad thing or a good thing and does it mean I need to transplant?

You're fine. It'll air prune itself. That'll cause the root to branch off, all the way back to the taproot. It's the same idea as the air-pot.

IGrowCan - Jiffy Peat Pellet (Route Bound)
I have discovered today that my plant has been failing to grow as quick as it should for an auto. I purchased a IGrowcan & discovered that my plant is route bound in the jiffy peat pellet supplied, advise to new growers if you use the pellet remove the bag at time of potting!

First time grower, trouble with pythium
I have a 5 gallon mesh pot with coco Loko, if it is true that the plants damping off had pythium, could they have possibly tainted the coco loko medium that was in the tent ?

Thirsty look - exposed roots
My plant has been looking thirsty but I know it isn't a water problem. Had another look today and saw some roots were poking through the substrate as I suppose every time I water I'm displacing it! I added some more Coco today, but was wondering if it could be anything else?

NLXBB Is she Rootbound? Drinking 2 L a day in 2 Gal Airpot
My NL x BB is drinking about 2 liters a day. The top leaves aren't up as often these days. They are almost always in a constant state of going up and down. Can she possibly be rootbound in an airpot? Or it's just the fluctuations of wet > dry going sooo fast every day?

ID this pest - bulb mite?
Trouble in paradise. Issues with new growth on a few plants in my 2nd tent. Rather suddenly. Past experience lead me to suspect a pest eating my roots (no, not a deficiency). Checked soil. Bingo. Bulb mite? Best way to attack issue? I have 3 weeks before these go outdoors. Neem?

Cloning advice. Why do I always kill these things?
Hey guys, first time cloning and I'm not sure if I'm correct. Clonex gel, small cuttings (gift). Slapped them into riot rooters and sprayed them with RO water in a propagation kit. Just not sure how often I spray or if the heat pad is to hot, do they even need light? Thanks!

Root loss shock?
Can I do anything?! I had her in with another seedling for the 1st 14 days and when I went to transplant them into their own pots their roots were completely entwined around each other. I tried to separate them but a good chunk of roots came away. They have both wilted badly!

Roots at the base of stock above soil
Just noticed what appears to be roots at the base of the stock after watering. Should these be covered back up from the light? Does it matter? They seem like strong roots that branched off just below the soil. First time I have noticed this. Thanks for any help or info. 👊
