Coco Root Shots!

[incogneato]

I have not tried that so I can't say for certain, but I feel since there would be a lot more coco than promix you would probably be just fine.


hahahaha damn! That is so damn awesome!!!!


The roots keep on coming out of the top haha. But it's not like Wentworth! :(

You would think so but I don't. I guess feed 2x a day and being ultra root bound are some of the factors. Also it's been raining where I'm at for quite some time and it's a bit unusual so humidity has been higher lately.

Wow, guess she's trying to grow legs and walk off

That plant was in a humid corner next to a sweaty concrete wall only the one strain does that for me usually just nubs tho no actual roots. I wonder if you could do root layering like they do w those giant pumpkins? Can't believe the size of the stock in that beer cup! I used peat for years second go in coco just starting to appreciate its potential....

Hmmm I have heard of people creating cuts by covering stems with plastic and getting the same results you did but your conditions were such that you didn't need the bag(pretty cool), then they cut off the stem and plant it hahaha.

I just read up a bit on root layering. I don't see why it wouldn't work. I wonder if somebody around here has messed around with that or not. I'd like to try it sometime for fun. Nothing wrong with peat but I sure love coco.

Alright here's an older picture of the DeadHead OG seedlings roots after I found out I put her in "prewashed coco" that actually had a super high salt content. So I had washed all the coco away and put her in fresh good stuff. She sure came back strong!

It was so damn risky! Those roots above are the same plant later on. She just didn't want to give in!

Great root shots! :fire:

 

[justiceman]

2 weeks into flower and these roots are just relentless. Just eat through the fabric it's cool. Air pruning what's that? I guess they never heard of it.

 

[justiceman]

Not too much going on as most of the girls are settled in for now. Here's some roots starting to pop up top on this seedling I've left in her solo for so long.

 

[justiceman]

Got another:D sometimes I pull her out of the solo just to check. Wouldn't normally do this but I'm just having fun seeing how long I can keep some of these girls in solos.

And the Pure Afghan is still going!

hahahaha dude this thing is old now. The rootball is so hard it could knock somebody out.

How old is it? Still happy, showing off the skills bro :ninja:

She's gonna hit 15 weeks in that solo pretty soon:sweating:. hahaha it is pretty cool, but aside from efficiency they definitely want something bigger if I wanted to take cuts off them as moms, but like you said before I have been training for the solo cup challenge. :D. I think my true bonsai moms will be #1 pots. I would do fabric pots but it's easier to take moms out of the plastic pots and chop the rootball and replant in the same container with fresh coco. Way more of a hassle to do that with fabric pots.

I'll just leave this here.:badboy:

LoL are you using an enzyme or something to keep them that white? Sterile or beneficial?

All I use is veg+bloom(base nutrient) and +Life(benies). No emzymes or anything else. It's the Pure Afghan I posted above. Almost 15 weeks in that solo lol

 

[justiceman]
