Spin-Out for Chemical Root Pruning
- Thread starter mogie
- Start date
plus it not being sold or used for everything leads me to agree that it must be too good to be true and not worth bigger buds that might lessen my life span
if you read a few more post down u see they say sorry and added it after he said this

Hey Skunky you should reread the thread beacuse if you did you would see that Potroast the admin steped in and edited that post to include the credit to Uncle Ben. Maybe you need to burn one and calm down a bit because to me your the ignorant one and its you whos getting worked up at Uncle Ben with all your swearing. Pay Attention before you start dissing someone who tries to help the cannabis comunity and us here at RIU.
. I lost my Van password an email.. o well.. I don't mind looking new.She looks beefy, an I was just woundering an had to ask. You done some good reserch on afew things here an there, I seen on the other fourm were they took ur work word for word an made it sound as if it was his.

Ok, Now I feel like Im kissing some ass or something along them lines Take care Everyone an May God bless People like Us.

Found this useful little tidbit about transplanting on Washington State University's webpage about "Horticulture Myths", actually there is alot of good reads on here, originally linked in another one of UB's posts, Thought I'd share the knowledge!!!
Though gentle handling of roots is good advice when transplanting seedlings, especially annual flowers
and vegetables, woody perennials, shrubs, and trees all benefit from a more vigorous approach. There are
several reasons for this, and surprisingly some of the harshest techniques result in the healthiest plants.
Containerized materials, especially those in gallon sized pots, often have serious root problems as a result
of poor potting-up techniques. Potbound plants exhibit circling root systems, which if not corrected
become woodier and more troublesome the older they get. Eventually these circling root systems become
girdling roots, which can lead to the early death of otherwise healthy trees and shrubs. At transplant
time, a more aggressive approach to root preparation can discover potentially fatal root flaws. Circling
roots, J-hooked roots, knotted roots, and other misshapen roots can often be corrected by careful pruning.
In this manner it’s possible to remove those root problems before they threaten the survival of your shrub
or tree.
It’s important to realize that roots respond to pruning in much the same way as the crown: pruning
induces new growth. Roots that are pruned at transplant time, especially those that are excessively long
or misshapen, will respond by generating new, flexible roots that help them establish in the landscape. It
is vital that these new transplants are kept well-watered during this time.
A second problem with containerized materials can also be avoided during your root inspection. In
general, the media in the container is a soilless mix with a large proportion of organic matter and pumice.
If transplanted with the plant as part of the root ball, this material will inhibit root development outside
the planting hole. Furthermore, the porous texture of this planting media will often lose water more
rapidly than the surrounding native soil, resulting in increased water stress to your new transplant. It is
much better for root establishment to remove as much of the container material as possible before the
plant is installed. The best use for the discarded container mix is as a topdressing over the disturbed soil.
When covered with wood chips or another mulch that will reduce weed colonization, the container media
serves as a nice source of slow-release nutrients.

UB are you aware of any plants to co-plant w/cannabis as beneficial to the development of Mycorrhizae and resulting in better root structure and development?

No I'm not. I do practice mulching the top of pots under some circumstances like outdoors or for perennials. For cannabis indoors, don't think it's practical.
This is one of the best ditty's on container gardening.

Yep, pix are mine too from the first page. Jorge plagarized the content but got it wrong about the tips turning upward. I brought it to his attention but it was too late.

That's my thread and that's my garden! Is there any honor or honesty left in the cannabiz? (Sheesh, was there ever? ) Shame on you for stripping the originator's name and posing my garden, genetics, and experiment as your own!
Here's the original FAQ I wrote when I was at OG, installed by an admin by the name of Shipperke.
Grow Marijuana FAQ, Cannabis cultivation - marijuana growing tips & photos
And it happens to be in my sig link at PG, plus a little warning for you guys that think you can get away with plagarizing other's work and not giving credit when credit is due. See post #160.
