Problem: Soil gets dry and Eazy Plug keeps lifting which could cause root damage.

started grow question 3y ago
Is there anyway I can avoid this besides keeping it wet and pressed down until stronger roots form? I'm worried about the root structure and stress if I have to keep pressing it into the soil...

could try watering little amounts more often. If the whole plug is lifting out it seems like it is getting to dry before you water. Good Luck!

When I've had this problem in the past I usually just put more soil on top, but I've never used crop cover, so not sure if an option?

Gophers ate 75% of my girls lifeline
Should I remove some of the branches and leaves from a 7’ plant that gophers ate 75% through the stalk and roots through the bottom of a fabric pot? The plant still looks fairly good .

First time I'm using air pots. I always empty the trays with runoff water (if there is any) and I noticed the roots on the bottom side. They seem rather long? I was under the assumption they would be 'air pruned'?

Purple stems/Advice
I am a new grower and I noticed the stalks/stems on both of my plants are purple. They are clones on week 5, I use FoxFarms ocean forest soil and General Hydroponics FloraSeries along with CALiMAGic for nutrients. Is there anything else that appears to be wrong as well?

Is this root rot? Can it be fixed?
Over the past week I’ve noticed Plant 6 seems to have been stunted in its growth. It also doesn’t seem to be taking up water. All my other plants dry out fairly quickly. This one remains wet for days and days and doesn’t seem to dry out. Can I fix this? Will it kill the plant?

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.

Transplanting
I just transplanted yesterday into 5gallon pots, do they look ok ? I dropped Runtz onto itself. The others seemed okay even though soil went everywhere. Not sure what to do to make sure all the roots & plant are healthy still. Any suggestions?

mold problem in the clay beads
Hello, I think I have a mold problem in the clay beads. This morning I saw white spots. Can you tell me if they are deposits or mold? If it is mold what should I do? The roots underneath are still in good condition. Thanks you buddys.

Why plants are growing differently
Same strain different growth rates and patterns. One plant is shorter and wider while the other plant is taller. Basically the same amount of leaves. The shorter and wider plant was repotted a week sooner in cycle. Could that be the reason? Or genetics?

Fog cloner ?
Made this little fog cloner with some stuff I had around. I am hoping to run it with only the fogger. Has anyone ran one of these without an airstone or fan blowing into it? Trying to keep it as simple as possible.
