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.

Why should the tap root grow for some days before potting?
Not a problem, but I'm eager to learn: Most tutorials recommend to let the tap root grow to about 2.5 cm before potting. Does anybody have a rationale for that? To me this sounds counter-productive (light protection for roots, correct orientation of seed). What am I missing?

Root aphids in flowering?
What I initially thought was a nutrient issue I am now convinced is a root aphid issue. Noticed a few small white bugs crawling on top of the soil and I don’t know how to get rid of them without harming my plant. She’s in 5th week of flowering so I don’t think neem is ideal.

Transplanting
I just transplanted yesterday into 5gallon pots, do they look ok ? I dropped Runtz onto itself. The others seemed okay even though soil went everywhere. Not sure what to do to make sure all the roots & plant are healthy still. Any suggestions?

Raíces pegadas en maceta
¿Cómo puedo evitar que las raíces de la plantula se peguen a la maceta (vaso de yogurt) al hacer el transplante? He utilizado un estimulante de raices por primera vez, y la verdad es que es la primera vez que se me pegan las raíces a la maceta…

hydrogen peroxide to do or not to do that is the question?
anyone have any positive results from using hydrogen peroxide in their resevior tank. im sure if your using organic nutes its probably not a great idea because HP breaks down organic matter into o2 but im not using organic nutes and my thought was to use it to control alge?

Wood chips or spent mushroom straw?
So, woodchips, I know starve the soil of nitrogen, at first. From my understanding in the long run it would be more beneficial? I'm moving to full organic in the next run and from there on so any references would be very helpful!

What size pot for final home
I am ready to transplant this girl. I have a 7 gallon plastic pot or a 30 gal tote from big lots I can drill holes in. Is the 30g overkill considering I only have 2-4 weeks until flower or will a increase in yield make it worth it? It has been in a 5g outdoors for 3 weeks.
