Mesh plastic pots and root health?

klimfishstarted grow question 4 years ago

Is using these mesh plastic pots going to give me issues with lights getting to the roots for young seedlings? I plan to transplant into fabric pots well before they fill these up with roots, but they will likely be in these mesh plastic pots for 2ish weeks.

You should be fine with them. Once you see the roots you can transplant.

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!

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!

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.

Hydroponic Roots Question okay, thanks in advance! How long does it take for the roots to grow out of rockwool & into the water? I used shorter cubes this time. Does the bubbling water ever reach the rockwool, or just a level to reach the roots?

Tango_Hotel_Charlie

when to transplant So, this is the first time I've gradually increased pot size as I feel they need it, instead of planting seedling straight into pots as one does with autos. How long should these girls stay in there pots before they move into 3 gals?
