When roots hit the edge of the plastic pot they suffocate and stop growing fabric pots have air at the edges so the roots stay alive look into it it's kinda interesting and they're very cheap too
Hiccups during grow
- Thread starter TheRealNG
- Start date
I appreciate all the feedback tyvm. I’m currently mixing nutes to about 600 ppm and gonna start flushing.

Notice how the roots are brown and dead if that was a fabric pot they would still be white when you repot just gently remove the dead root at the edges and they should regrow
Kk I do have some reall healthy ladies in my tent that need transplanting into 5 gallons soon. I just ordered some fabric pots I’m gonna try though for transplant to see the difference

Remember when you water with fabric pots do it slowly especially when they're dry when you water otherwise it will all pour out the sides lol water till run off test your runoff leave the excess in the saucer for 5-10 minutes then get rid of it never leave liquid in the saucer again it just drowns your rootsKk I do have some reall healthy ladies in my tent that need transplanting into 5 gallons soon.

The tray was to small,had to dump it twice every morning.
Ouch, I’ve noticed 2x4 foot floor trays I’m gonna order some of those, my space inside is a 4x4 currently so they should fit well. Thanks again
You can use plastic airpots...
That should help, I always feed my vegging plants at 600 to 800 ppm with maxibloom at 7 grams per gallon, which is considered full strength.
Your plants look like they are thirsting for more nitrogen.
Once plants are no longer seedlings they need more nutes.
PS another way to handle runoff is to get a shop vac and suck that shit right out of the saucers. It's what I do.
That’s certainly one lesson I got from this. More nitrogen! I’ve spent all day flushing the plants! Between the 13 inside and 20 out in my tent in my shed it’s been a long day
