Roots growing out of cloth pot
Crybabypete
started grow question 5y 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.

When to stop misting seedling? What to look out for before watering normally?
When can seedling root system handle normal watering, NOT misting to absorb moisture through leaves? I want to avoid overwatering. Outdoor grow. I've misted for the first few days, started watering using a turkey baster yesterday + today w. 6.3PH at topsoil and bottom dish.

Fungus?
Does this look like fungus to anyone else? I was looking at the soil of a plant that is not doing well, and saw this. It could also be roots maybe?

pH/EC/Medium issues
I have turned off CO2 because the amount these tiny seedlings are using is so small that the CO2 in the room remains around 450 nevertheless. I can turn on CO2 as soon as needed however. I am using pH paper strips to be sure. I bought some different light mix for seedlings.

Flawless Finish in a organic crop
Given the characteristics of organic cultivation and that this is sustained in the microbial life of the soil, is it advisable to water this last week with Flawless Finish (I have always used that product in my other crops with the top crop range)? Happy crop to all.

Add Nutrients after 2-4 days of sometimes heavy rain for an Auto. Yes or no?
I just had 4 days of sometimes heavy rain, 2 days in to it I added 1/3-1/2 my 3 day nute routine. We had 2 more days of sometimes heavy rain. Im in week 8 of an outdoor potted auto grow and I have 3 days of sun coming. Should I add nutes before they dry out? Bud rot from rain?
