    how much root can I get away with chopping

    Ya the roots should regrow pretty fast if I have to cut them all off, theyre only about 2 weeks in now. I just didn't know if removing that much tap root would kill the plant. But might as well go for it now while she's still pretty young. I'll keep this forum updated and share the results.

    how much root can I get away with chopping

    The last time this happened I tried leaving it alone since the new growth looked good. But as time when on the brown kept advancing and I ended up having to scrap the plant because it was starting to spread to the other plants roots. This time I really want to fix this before I transfer them...

    how much root can I get away with chopping

    Ya that's worth a shot. I could probably just leave it in the clone table and blast it with a spray bottle before I change out the rez.

    how much root can I get away with chopping

    They guy I bought them from must have sliced the clippings stem up the middle. He delivered them to me in cups of water and the little root mass was matted together with a little brown segment. I pulled it apart a few days ago and that's what you see in the pic. But ya when I pulled the strand...

    how much root can I get away with chopping

    I purchased these girls as newly rooted clones about a week ago. There was a small dark brown segment on one of the roots thats just getting worse. Can I cut away the whole root above that section without killing the plant? Or spray it with something? It's about 1ft tall. It's a shame cause...

    dark area on roots getting larger

    Thanks for the reply.. seems like for now it hasn't moved far enough to get to the other plant yet.. can I cut everything away but leave the tap roots intact? I have 35% h2o2.. I would normally mix 4ml to 1 gall ro, not ph adjusted, and run for 3 hrs. Sound ok?

    dark area on roots getting larger

    So this is getting a little concerning to me. its happened before and did not end well. noticeable browning started about 3 days ago and seems to now be growing about an inch per day. These are 2 weeks and 5 days into veg, and suffered no stress with transferring from the cloner. The canopy is...

    aeroponics - spray time differences for veg vs flower

    I just remember reading a post where someone stated something like "If ppl think they can just keep the same spray settings for veg and flower there going to regret it".. but didn't offer any explanation lol

    aeroponics - spray time differences for veg vs flower

    Hi, quick question about spray time differences between veg vs. flower. I feel like I should already know this by now but I want clarification before I jump into 12/12. My plants/roots are looking healthy and loving life with my current spray times in veg phase, but as the root mass expands in...

    Roots that grow huge

    if your planning on growing in aero past rooting clones I would locate the res. outside of the root chamber and line with silk screen to prevent the roots from sitting on the bottom, this poses risk for root rot. if your planning on transplanting them after they root then move them before the...

    plants dying after using nematodes

    As I just posted this im thinking. I did not pH adjust the tap water that I mixed the sponge with. This run at about 7, whereas the nuts I use are 6-6.3. I wonder if this could have had such a drastic impact as I sprayed them directly and entirely over all surface area within the chamber. FML...

    plants dying after using nematodes

    Hi, Im currently running an air atomized aeroponic system. On the last run I had a massive fungus gnat infestation in my root chamber that attacked the plants in week 4 of flower and never went away no matter what I tried. So this run I took a preventative approach and hit the root chamber with...

    root infestation

    Ohh boy. Well ill see what I can do and hope they can ride out a few more weeks. Thanks for the advice. Hopefully they arnt ra. Other than yellow strips, potato slices, and consistent h2o2 dosing in the res., are there any other ways I can guarantee they won't come back?

    Root Infestation

    So far I've heard yellow strips. Potato slices. And h2o2. But I need something more lethal at this point. And hopefully those things will prevent future infestations but I'm not even sure of that. There has to be other solutions though..? I don't see a point to scrapping these plants as they...
