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?

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?
See comment for more info.

Friends, help me understand what the problem of the plant is!!I can not understand that with plants different tips come most people think that the problem is nitrogen! Others say it's zinc or cal-mag! I can't decide how to properly help the plant! I also thought maybe it's too much blowing inside the box!?

I've always gone from root cube directly to 3-gallon pots. I can't compare the difference with transplanting from solo cups because I don't have any experience. Have any of you found a significant advantage to adding an extra transplant? I figure 3-gallon pots aren't THAT big.Roots. Other

Roots at the base of stock above soilJust noticed what appears to be roots at the base of the stock after watering. Should these be covered back up from the light? Does it matter? They seem like strong roots that branched off just below the soil. First time I have noticed this. Thanks for any help or info. 👊

1. Is my auto that I snapped salvagable? It's the one on the right side of this week's photo.
2. Should I bother with LST starting out? I'm scared now that I ruined one plant, but I also go through an oz a week due to medical reasons and want to increase yields.Week 1

Soil heaterGot a soil heater today, wrapped it around the bottom of my fabric pots. Is that the way I’m supposed to do it? There weren’t any instructions on the package & I’m not big on YouTube tutorials. Ive also been playing music for them during day light. Do any of you do this?
