They are looking great there my friend!
Keep it up.
Thanks Gr, really liking the switch to coco so far. Was easy in the solos, watering to runoff didnt take long. Hand watering 2g pots 3-4 times a day will prob be a little more work but i look forward to it.
Hey Diggs,
I was going to tell you that you can very easily treat root rot in coco. But after looking at the second photo. Those roots are fine. A little discoloration can just come from nutes. But actual root rot will give you slimy bad smelling roots. Bet those roots were clean smelling.
Sometimes...and mostly if I let a plant get too rootbound, I'll take a shears and cut through the bottom root circle. Just a few cuts will help to stimulate new root growth. hurts nothing.
Very professional grow dude. Don't neglect the runoff. There are different philosophies about that. But right now I have two plants that I had to flush...excess salt build-up. Prevention is better then cure.
Cheers,
JD
Thanks very much JD,
i will keep the tip about root rot in mind for future reference, yes the roots for all 9 looked very similar to the pic i posted, to my newbie eye they seemed healthy enough.
I have been watering to runoff every time in the solo cups, now that they are in the 2gs,should i still be soaking the pots to runoff while they are small? or should i do as i did in soil? in soil, after transplant i would gradually increase the amount of water given each time until i was finally soaking the pots every time. not sure if this would apply to coco as we've heard a thousand times, never let coco dry out.
