Now we all know that autos have a limited veg period before transitioning to flower.
I’ve been pondering whether one can extend that veg time.
The whole point of veg cycle is to establish a robust root system. The part we often see (green leaves) are a direct result of the rootzone.
I think I may have stumbled upon a way to increase your root mass without triggering flower!
Unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures but my mind did.
I had two back up seedlings in root riot cubes which got neglected. They were left out of the tent in a semi dark room and stretched to about 4 inches tall. Although they were only still trying to produce their first set of leaves.
I noticed that the cubes had about 10-15 roots all air pruned. Whenever I use the cubes in a tent soon as the tap root emerges they are potted up.
Here’s a few photos I have taken. 2 plants 1 pot
