Adding soil to the new roots on stem
GhostRiderstarted grow question 2 years ago
Hello everyone, after the night I noticed that there are a lot of new roots trying to grow from stem. I know this is ok, but I wonder can I add some soil on top of the existing to help develop these roots? Won't it cause stem rot? I want to fill the space in my pot

Usually cannabis grown from seeds don't rot from stem like tomato or other veggies, but cannabis clones yes. You can add some soil (1-2 cm every few days) under cotyledons, she will be fine.
But it's not necessary :)

They aren't roots, but "hairs"/fibers - a type of non glandular trichome.
Adding another layer of soil won't hurt.
Roots sprout from the stem from white nodules that will appear as the plant ages, near the base of the stem.

it will be totally fine if you toss some more soil on top of the plant's roots. i recommend using worm castings. I don't quite know what it is about them, but they help plants thrive.
i hope this helps.

And I know it would be easier to transplant this plant in future as it's photoperiodic, but I have the same as autoflower, and I don't want to transplant it, so this might be a better solution? If it works

Tipped, Squashed Plant, Wobbly Trunk - Will it Survive?Plant fell over and squashed against itself.
The base of the trunk is wobbly but still attached deep down.
I've packed soil around the base of the trunk to reinforce.
I'm about 2 weeks from chop and want to know if it's worth harvesting now or if plant/yield will be fine?

Cloning issues; inconsistency, wiltingCloning newb here. I'm trying to root in soil, with a dome and misting intermittently. Some of the clones are doing okay, some are doing not so well (drooping, etc) and a couple are wilting and dying. Any idea what may be causing the inconsistency/failures?

Roots sticking out in 3 gallon is this normal 2 weeks after transplant?I grow in a 3 gallon and the roots are sticking out beneath but the plant has not substantially grown and she only got transplanted 2 weeks ago to this pot. Is this normal for fabric pots? I read that it’s normal for the roots to shoot down first and than fill up the rest?

What size pot for final homeI 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.

Mesh plastic pots and root health?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.

Indoor companions in the same container? I already use the CO2 mushroom bags. But what about in with the plants container an in an indoor grow?I am using coco coir and perlite as the medium. I would assume it would only make a difference if it was in the same container as the plants to interact. Or be a fungus, I think most produce at least some amount of CO2.
Can I use companion fungus/plants in the same pot?Week 9
