Its fine, they will airprune and die off. I would make sure tho, that the tank itself is clean and cannot infect the roots with anything, also the tank needs to drain properly.

Auswirkungen für die Pflanze sollten gering bis nicht spürabar sein. ich habe selbst schon ein Aeroponiksystem am Laufen gehabt und mir sind die Wurzeln durch die Abflüsse in den Nährstofftank gewachsen. Das einzige Problem das entstehen kann ist, dass dir die Wurzeln den Ablauf verstopfen und du damit dein System überfluten könntest. Meine Lösung war, die Wurzeln aus dem Tank raus einfach in den Wurzelbereich zu ziehen. So sind die Abflüsse wieder frei und alles ist gut.

You can do root pruning. There can be a few problems such as oxygen availability you don't want them to grow too deeply. You can also have issues with nutrient uptake and root rot.

As long as the pump and drains are clear you're OK.

What's happening with this seedling?Hey guys! So, I'm having some doubts with one of my seeds, as it looks like it sprouted upside down. Can't see any cotyledones, or even signs of the seed, that's what make me believe it's upside down. Any ideas? RH in the tent has been quite low, around 15/20%. thanks!

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?

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?

PH I messed up & forgot to PH balance my water before using it. It was 9.4 before I mixed in molasses & formulex. I put 1 gallon in each pot. I realized right after I did that, that I forgot. I tried to fix it by adding a 1/2 gal. To each of just plain 6.1 ph water. What now tho ??
