Roots showing from top of soil ?
nocluehowtostarted grow question 4y ago
So I'm not sure what's goin on here, the other plants aren't doing it but this big one in the middle is, the roots are coming out from the top of the soil and being exposed.
it happened earlier in the grow and I just added a layer of soil after watering.
Now its happened again

Leaning Plant /Could really do with some advice on the lean if anyone has any? Should I dig her up very carefully before her root mass gets too big and try to straighten her out? Should I put a little gardening stick in there and tie the stem to it to support her?

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 ?5y ago
