You might know all of this already, but its the best i got. Search for vics super soil and subcools soil recipies. A good amount of soil and a top layer of some very mellow manure keeps em going if the ground soil is decent. Light nutrients over plenty of broken up soil will let the plants do their thing at their pace. If it stinks or will stink, i dont put it in my soil. The following is not a suggestion: Make sure its organic, for too many reasons to list. Like i said this is all old news but, i hope it helps a little. Another thing that you probably know. The root shape, taproot vs clone roots, makes a world of differnce. Clones go at least 12" down so the wind doesnt knock em over. Not to mention how dry the first couple inches of soil can stay in an outside grow.

Thanks. I have so much to learn mostly i just learn from f'n up something. Case in point. My clones arent rooting? Im using old indole-butyric acid. My mother plants look like edward scissor hands had a siezure, so i better get em to root. Im trying a bubble stone in some water, and hopefully ill get a couple with some honey, ill pick up some fresh indole-butyric acid and maybe an alternate just for kicks. This plant definately keeps your mind in shape.

Growing healthy plants in a good growing environment. Honestly, I never even think about the roots. If you keep the plant healthy and happy then it will grow healthy roots. I get good roots in coco, FFOF, Happy Frog, Black Gold, homemade soil mix, and anything else I grow in. I never spend money on products for root growth. I feed a balanced nutrient in moderation, provide a good environment, ample light, and the plant takes care of the rest. People are dumping stuff on their plants that they don't need to and spending money on things they really don't need. I believe that one of the main causes for people having troubles in their grows is due to the products they dump on their plants. I follow the less is better mantra and never have any issues growing healthy plants with huge healthy root mass.

Well put. I'm amazed a lot of the time by how much extra snake oil people use, believing that they'll get "bigger, better buds!".
