Why bother with it is my question? Build roots wow, still get outyeilded by those that dont bother but simply have it dialled in....
Why top a plant?
Why grow Indoors?

Unless your throwing your seeds in the woods and letting them do what ever nature intended.

You are in fact modifying nature to reap the rewards...

Do i not make a point?

Go back 30 years and tell farmers to grow in water theyd respond to you like you are to me?

Prove us wrong then :-)
If you READ my post i NEVER claimed ANYONE was right or wrong.

This is why im DOING IT to see.

Does this not make sense?

Im still wondering what the others i called out will say

I top plants to create a canopy as i yeild more under indoor lights than singke cola.

I grow indoors because its illegal and thats my best and only chance to.

Unless you have some kind of restrictions on root size then why prune roots? You do know it wont increase yeilds.....

No dude you wont accept our answers so maybe this forum isnt as advaced as you require.
What answers have you given?
NONE THAT CAN BE BACKED UP as proof that this wont increase yeilds

MY POINT was made when i said why do you top a plant..

Mabey in 5 years youll be pruning your roots!

Do some research before you come back and while your at it cut and paste some stuff.
For me to see.

Cause if the answers are SO unadvanced then why isnt the information there?

Give me one side by side photo
One article.
and ill shut my trap :wall:

Honestly can you say youve tried what Dr. Whitcomb has done and saw the results for your self?
@Kingrow1
Yep, pure hype, you cannot increase biological efficiency with simple tricks.

Theres a reason why a lot of us do things simple like, because weve all done the whole grow progression of root makers, rockwool pruning, aero roots, uv lights, beneficial microbes, calmag etc etc

and not one of them things ever yeilded a gram more.

How about you get a shift on and work through it all get yourself upto our level :-)

I thought it was 6 inches?

No serious, are these fems or regulars? Are you concerned about root trauma or limitation causing higher chance of males?

These are fems and 1 auto.

Im not worried as these test beans where freebies.

This is why im TESTING to see the good and bad.

Thanks for an actual question :) i will know if they all herm or dont produce well

Cause it doesnt matter if it works or doesnt I WILL HAVE FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE NOT HERESAY

And i will post it good or bad cause im not a pussy :) and i Back up what i put down

I hope you get to laugh at me though .

But at least i have the balls to try and SHOW

Hey all ,
After a little research I've decided to try air pruning roots of seedlings to hopefully encourage faster root growth..

If your interested look up DR. Whitcomb air pruning roots .
Lots of neat info here.

But basically he says a tap root is a evolutionary defense for plants so they can survive harsh environments by sending its tap root down deep
In search of water.

... but he says that the tap root is unnecessary in the grow room because we provide all the plant needs and is a waste of plant energy.
He says a large fiberous root system is best

I encourage to watch the video for impressive test results and im not quoting him just giving you the jist of it.

Other studies show roots can actually sense gravity and naturally go down even around obstacles (duh)

Anyways being one that always heard you need to keep that tap root happy
I never would have thought to intentionally reduce the length of the almighty tap root.

So i took 6 seeds (freebies)
Dutch passion auto blackberry kush 1
Seedism exodus 2
Seedism lemon gold drops 1
Thseeds bubblegum 1
And blimburn green crack 1

I put them in 4inch rockwool cubes that are elevated on a rack .

They popped right around Christmas
And i observed in a day or 2 the tap root went almost straight as an arrow to the bottom of the block then a few days later another ect.

Now a little over 2 weeks the blocks are filing nicley and i intend to keep them in the blocks till its mostly roots :)

Then i will transplant into the final systems..
Hopefully they will explode with roots since they will be allowed to grow as big as they like.

Which after seeing DR. Whitcombs results im quite hopefull

So i know other people have done this but has anyone here done it?

If so was it worth it?

I know after finding out about it from a youtube guy. Grow pot cheap .

His video is called the first 4 inches is all you need.
Hence the name of my title is a shout out to him

He grew some nice trees that where supposedly autos.
Ill post pics later as im busy today
Just seeing if anyone eles has done this

:)
Interesting..Thanks for sharing
