Root structure?

SmylinPupilstarted grow question 5 years ago

Any ideas why there wasn’t much root structure on this plant? It seemed to kinda just hug the surface. I let the soil dry out during watering, so I’m not really sure?

I think it might be a couple things but the first thing I noticed was the shallow and small pot size. Can't expect as much root in 1gal as in 3gal pots. The other thing I would suspect would be poor soil quality. In my first 2 grows I used poor soil and saw the smallest root systems of any grows I have completed. If soil doesn't drain well it's hard for cannabis roots to thrive.

Hi @SmylinPupil the root system seems to me weak, your substrate seems to have little perlite, the substrate must have at least 20% -30% perlite, it helps the soil to drain the water well and not get too drenched, the roots breathe better develop much more. if you have the substrate usually soaked the roots do not return as they should. a good organic root stimulator is a good solution until the first 3 weeks of the plant's life. good luck mate 🙏👍

Rotten roots Crescita rallentata. Sembrava andare tutto nel verso giusto invece la radici della mia white wid dwc hanno subito l'attacco di un batterio che le fa andare in putrefazione e non riesco in nessun modo a eliminarlo, ho eliminato un po di marciume ma credo che ormai sia compromessa

Nutrient Burn, Leaf Septoria, Nutrient Deficiency? Or something else?I have been having issues with the Purple Haze. I've tried adjusting the Temperatures, adding additional Cal-Mag, changing lumen intensity etc. I believe this may be nutrient burn?

Help my plants to recover and thrive :)Coco grow: seedlings started to droop. Maybe caused by over watering? During transplant I found out the roots were completely underdeveloped. The transplant shocked the plants. Growth is stunted. What can I do to get them to recover and thrive? Consult my diary for more details.

Root system not looking good, correct?This is /not/ how a root system should look at 15 days, correct? It looks like the roots were suffocated. Would perlite help going forward in the future? Had abt 20% plite. Is the organic potting soil I got just low quality and too dense? I definitely chronically overwatered too

Roots progress Guys, for this week I had prepared a 1/10 fert solution (10-10-10), very dissolved in water, with 10 water parts. And thats how she responded. When could I dissolve, for example, 1/7, or even 1/5 for fert? Would it make the plant grow stronger? Roots Growing Mineral, which one?
