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.

From clones.. A few weeks in, plant on bottom right doesn't appear to be rooting and is wilting.At a glance, does anyone have any advice for this grow? I am using miracle grow performance organics for soil, two full spectrum 30w LEDs, grow tent is 3x3x10-12. The plant on the bottom right does not seem to be rooting. The rest to my eyes look okay, but wanted advice.

White Mold at Roots I got some kind of white mold in the root area, I'm not sure what it is but I think I know what caused it, The reason is I was being kinda sloppy with letting the run off water sit under the plants for a day or two. Should I flush the plants now and cut them? And will it spread?

Slow growth / not spreading out much / compact plant. What gives ? Should I attempt to defoliate to get more light in there / pump more nutes ?Any advice on making it grow faster ? I'm in the 7th week of veg and it's not as bushy as it should. Still growing, just slow. It doesn't seem to want to spread much horizontally / fan leaves are staying relatively small. I'm in 3rd week of LSTing. Am I being impatient ?

Roots poking through bottom of pot.I just noticed yesterday that I’m starting to have a significant amount of roots shooting through the bottom of the pot. This far into the grow, would you recommend transplanting into a 5 gallon fabric or you think she’ll be ok?
