Subterranean Verde?

Never grow in clear/transparent pots...............roots need complete darkness to function properly. Algae will cause root rot issues. What malum wrote is complete garbage. Algae will not occur at the root zone in black pots, algae needs light to grow..........i.e. clear/transparent pots.

clear pots, light goes in, algae grows. it can play up with your ph. it shows, that you water wrong - pot beeing too moist for too long, no wet/dry cycle. i talked to greengenesgarden recently, he started to use clears because of price, so it works for professionals, i would not recommend it still, especially for starters. less potential troubles - bigger harvests, easy math i think.

The algae will establish a protective biofilm along the inner surface of the transparent pot, facilitating oxygen exchange within the microenvironment and providing a beneficial layer without adverse effects.

Algea... won't cause too many problems. It'll take an insignificant portion of some nutes on the surface, but it can't grow where the sun doesn't reach, so it can't have a major impact. the problems you are experiencing are likely coincidental and caused by some other bad behaviours or choices. Watering habits look bad. you have moisture at bottom, top and dry in the middle, that's going to promote shitty root development. The large dry pockets are likely the cause of droop, too. Recent diary is soilles, so going with that procedure. 1) water entire volume with 10% runoff. you give enough to get the job done and not some preconceived, self-chosen voluem of water. It should contain a full, well-balanced diet of nutes. 10% runoff maintains equilibrium of nutes in soil. this makes diagnosing and formula adjustment simpler when you do react to a problem. 2) allow some minimal dry back, preferably a more pronounced wet-dry cycle early on, and repeat step one. Simple at that. even in soil you must ensure you fully saturate the medium each irrigation. Never half-ass it. If this causes any droop, it's a poorly constituted substrate. Add more perlite or similar next time if that is the case as it is not the fault of proper irrigation behaviours. don't blame the algea. fix your behaviour and preconceived notions. check out cocoforcannabis.com. Their guides and articles are the best sources of information of any marijuana website i've come across. The do sell things but they don't whore themselves out to maximize profit like most websites too. It pays better to blow smoke up people's asses, sadly.

Yeah clear pot is why.

High popcornsutton, You are not lucky that you grow with a clear pot because the green stuff are algea that can only grow because you grow with a clear pot. Algea need light and moist. So if you would have used a pot that doesn't let light through you would not have the algea inside your pot. The problem with algea is that they raise the pH Pack the pot with aluminium foil for example and the algea will not be able to survive, they need light. Happy Growing Buddy! 💚

The first problem is using clear pots. Leave want light. Roots want darkness. For the future use pots that don’t allow light to penetrate. I’m going to bet that these problems are all caused by the clear pot.
