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.

Mold on roots, seedling
I have a fat banana auto, in a 1.5 l put cut out bottom because I'm planing on transplanting it to bigger pot as soon as my other auto finished off. (About 2 more weeks) . Today i discovered the roots are already touching bottom of the cut out pot. Is this mold on the roots??

This is what your roots should look like if your growing hydroponics in DWC or RDWC, if you do it properly. I found it to be a lot of work even with the chiller, cleaning the buckets out once every week or 2. Any products available now to keep things clean? Without harming plants

Roots crawled up in rapid rooters plug.
Could it be better if I cut a hole at the bottom of the plug so the roots could've found a space to grow into?

Mykos - blackleg?
Can Mykos cause blackleg on my stalk? I have a bunch of seedlings, and I have some Mykos applied to the roots, and added some during a watering. I see a bunch of the fungus growing right where the soil meets the stalk... and its getting bigger. Today I noticed the area is black?

problems with root washing
it's been almost 6 days since I washed the roots and the pot continues to seem heavy (even touching the ground you can feel it is still wet underneath) Do I keep waiting for it to dry completely? is there any trick to speed up this process?

Roots look healthy but what’s the safest way to remove this sludgy residue on the roots? I touched it, smelled it and ruled out root rot. Can someone explain in detail how I should wash it?

Was contemplating purchasing some type of root inoculation stuff. Considering this is my first grow and going with just base nutrients. How important will a root inoculation solution be? And just in general?
