[Jtoth3ustin]

trying to atleast hehe

I have to ask (mygirls) Do you think this claim is wrong? (Roots don’t like light at all. Micro-organisms that live in the root-zone also don’t like light. Organic substrates have a natural dark colour, so the root-zone is also dark. Inert substrates are often packed in plastic material, which does not let through the light.) It's backed up by many Guru's/books/dvds,etc. https://growguide.opengrow.com/Transport_and_Logistics_Inside_the_Marijuana_Plant

sence i took that pic here it is 2day. look where the roots are coming out. some are coming out the top of the wool. like i said bro im not argueeing im just showing from my exp., that's all. this should answer many ?.

I wait for my clones to do the same, or much more roots. But have you ever heard of letting the air prune your roots? Let me see if I can find it, LOL I have it in a book around here somewhere.

 

[GoldenGanja13]

Ok found it.
AIR PRUNING ROOTS
When roots grow to the end of the container and are exposed to air, they stop growing. The air naturally prunes roots. They cannot grow out the end of the pot, because the climate with little moisture and lots of air is too inhospitable.

funny, it doesn't mention light exposure? go figure...

Why would it ? The topic between Mygirls and myself was air. You see Mygirls Harvests are Butt Loads, and he does things that the "book" would disagree on.
Would you like to discuss Light Exposure? If your polite and watch your tonuge I would love to.
This how we true growers learn from others and learn how to tweak are own gardens. Even though we might disagree with others methods, we like to hear how it works for them.

Direct Light~ (just for you KP2)
White containers reflect light and keep soil cooler. Always use thick, white containers so light does not penetrate and slow root growth. If roots around the outside of the root ball start turning green, you know they are receiving direct light. Remedy the problem by painting the inside of the container with a non-toxic latex paint.
.......Roots turn green and grow poorly when they receive direct light.

i think about light, and no light on roots like this..... when i water my babies... they always get dryer during the night.... so that makes me think that they (the roots) are growing/using nutrients during that time..... my pots are always 10x lighter in the morning than at night... soo if roots formed more during light on... wouldnt the pot become alot lighter during the day. than during the night....

also... isnt in door growing for the purpose of mimicing nature.. plants outside in nature. dont recive light to the roots, or do they seek light...... vertical growth during light on( you can tell like 4 hours after lights come on) and root growth during lights off. even with out a scientifical explanation, you can see that that is how any plant works...

they work during the day, store energy for the night.... so what would they be storing energy for??

Pe@ce...

When harvest comes around what do you do Jtoth3ustin, do you cut her down while lights are on, or cut her down when lights have been off for 11.5 hrs (just before lights on).
I cut her down before lights on. Because like you said the roots are storeing everything at night. Everything from the top flows down into the root system at night.
Roots are awake and working during the day for the leafs. The leafs need nutes/co2 to grow healthy. The roots supply the water and such into the stream (veins) of the plants that carrys everything along. When a plant dryes it no longer has the ability to transfer anything around (nutes/water/etc.).
I don't know where I going with this, I need coffeee.

 

[Jtoth3ustin]

haha its all good man.. im only 19 going through custody for my fucking kid, and i cant even concentrate on this shit anymore. i need this crop over with so i can finally go to court..
\anyways lol.. i chop them down before lights come on in a sence. i give them 24hr dark before i chop.. all the water movemant is due to the moon, and gravity..... like the best time to crop i think. is on a full moon. becuse with maple trees when i would make maple syrup. you wait for the day after a full moon to tap the tree. becuase all the sap is pulled to the top by the moons gravitational pull... so the next day it all falls, and goes out the spicket you put in. i beleive it would be the same with any plant.... idk either. just woke up. getin biched out by the ex for wanting to see my babay.. Pe@ce man..

Peace Brother. Good Luck in court.

In your opinions would you say it best to harvest before lights on? or just before lights out? Would you harvest before lights on to leave any excess nutes in the roots instead of the buds? You'll have to excuse me, i am just a lil confused and new....and high...lol

I always harvest just before lights on. That way all the water,etc. is in the roots and not fouling up the bud with moisture and bad taste.

 

[mr.woodes]

I see now, thanks for the clarification..
