Long Root coming out of the pot
deepsheebastarted grow question 3 years ago
What should I do with a flying root? It came out of the air pot catching the water of the plate. Should I cut it? The plant is at 5 week of flowering

Hey there,
I agree with @ChitownCannaChica …. I noticed that the “wtf are those” picture appears to be springtails. Springtails are beneficial detritivores that rapidly decompose organic matter and cycle nutrients. But keep in mind if there is an abundance in a small container that can indicate overwatering but no need to get rid of them as they will eat whatever nutrients your plant cannot and then digest it into something that the plant can actually use. They are exclusively used in terrariums to keep the enviroment clean and I have tons in my no till beds that decompose everthing that my worms cannot. I hope this helps!

If you’re in week 5 - no need to cause any undue stress.
If it’s not causing you issues, no need to address it. It will die off if it’s getting too much air and not enough water.

I would just leave it if it is not posing a problem.

It looks like the taproot, but since you have an established root system the taproot is no longer needed.

Honey for root growth.Wondering if anyone has ever used honey to promote rooting when planting germinated (cracked) seeds.
Read that honey helps as a natural root enhancer. Only tried once so far as a test but seems not to hurt the seed, if dont do anything else. Wondering if anyone else does this?Roots. Other

Substrate moisture retentionWorried my substrate wasn't moist enough at the time of transplanting these girls. Should I expect trouble soon? I'm watering as necessary, until the fabric pots begin to weep into their drip pans. Should I let them dry completely before next watering?5 years ago

Super low runoff PH, even after corrective measures being taken. Plant otherwise okay, but probably isn't taking all her nutrients.My runoff PH has been hitting mid-5s, even after flushing (w/ & w/o additive). Been trying to raise with higher PH water, used 7.25PH water today and the runoff was still 5.56. She looks healthy other than some discoloration in some leaves, so it isn't killing her but.....????5 years ago
