Thats bullshit lmao. Cannabis roots not shit like lettuce. Wait 2 hearsay reports…. Of likely 2 people like yourself. Who believe it because they read it somewhere like this? Cmon man. If your roots aren’t growing through you have a sick plantI'm shocked at your ignorance. You own stock in Jiffy or something? Issues with peat pots are long-known and well-documented. One needs only crawl out from under the rock they live under and open their eyes and look for the information. End of story. Your story is a good one... keep preaching it, and sooner or later, someone will believe it. For a forum intended to help new growers, it is surreal at the amount of misinformation put out here for blind acceptance. As I said before, your plants, your rules.
Quite frankly, to be brutally honest, I'd be impressed if you could somehow manage to find your own asshole using both hands, a mirror, and a map.
Exactly what im correcting. Your misinformation and blind acceptance. Which are what many of my posts are there to correct. Just take a look around and you may learn something instead of trying to be right… trying being open to the tight answers.For a forum intended to help new growers, it is surreal at the amount of misinformation put out here for blind acceptance.

Jiffy pellets have worked for years. If roots don't grow out of one its not the pellet. Obviously attributing poor root development to a jiffy puck isn't a logical conclusion. If no plants ever grew roots from any jiffy pellet it would be.That's fair. Apparently some people have experienced or observed plants with less than spectacular root development which can obviously attributed to a still-intact peat pod mesh wrapper that, for whatever reason, didn't biodegrade sufficiently and roots had a difficult time permeating. Other folks, perhaps not. Hence the IMHO & YMMV in my answer.
Pine trees grow in the Canadian shield,there must be some truth to Aquamans reply"As with any observation its only as accurate as the knowledge of the person observing."
This would be one of those instances where the only suggestion I have for you and those of similar mindset would be to simply go fuck off.
Have a recent pic?So anyway, back to the matter at hand.
They still seem to be struggling, but significantly less. I’ve given them more soil and a nice haircut and they seem to be going. But the stems are quite woody, which seems odd to me for plants this small, and still some 3 leaves. I will be repotting them into significantly larger containers (I don’t have any room in the garden to put them and it makes me so sad) so hopefully they’ll grow right up. Thoughts?
So I ended up giving one away to someone who had room for one, and I took the other three:Have a recent pic?
To me it screams watering. 100% you need to fill those pots to the rim but hold up till we get ya sortedSo I ended up giving one away to someone who had room for one, and I took the other three:
I’d fill them to the brim but I ran out of dirt! I’m using the M3 Michigan white bag papas perfect poop. I’m running low on nutes but I planted them with a bit of a mix (everything was not measure but conservatively added, but all organic):To me it screams watering. 100% you need to fill those pots to the rim but hold up till we get ya sorted
What media are you in?
What nutrients do you have?
Growing outdoor i take it?
Take a read here so some of the things we will discuss make sense to you.
Marijuana Watering, how media, pot size/shape and environment affect it
Ok lots of posts on how to water plants. So I thought I would put together a thread on how different factors contribute to different results that ppl see. This will be a long read based on my personal knowledge, opinions, research and others work to consolidate information for our members. I'm...www.thcfarmer.com
Well somehow your going to have to find more dirt and preferably the sane that they are in because as they are now i dont think it’s possible or atleast extremely hard to water properly.I’d fill them to the brim but I ran out of dirt! I’m using the M3 Michigan white bag papas perfect poop. I’m running low on nutes but I planted them with a bit of a mix (everything was not measure but conservatively added, but all organic):
A few cups of worm castings
A handful of azomite
A cup or two of bat guano
A cup or so of bone meal
2-3 cups of alfalfa meal (probably a bit of powdered molasses in there too, by a bit I mean a few tablespoons)
Roughly 1/3 a bag of built a soil nutrient pack
And the rest is the Michigan dirt
I would LOVE to be more specific and scientific about the amounts, but it didn’t work out that way. I tried, but it takes more prep than I originally thought so my scheduling kind of fell apart.
These are currently outdoor but I think I’m going to put two of them in the tent and take the em to harvest that way.
Oh I’m going to get more! Just literally ran out. There are some roots on the very top that are exposed and it makes me sad, so I’m finna cover them up asap. It’s okay to cover up the base of the stem with more dirt, right? Won’t cause any rot?Well somehow your going to have to find more dirt and preferably the sane that they are in because as they are now i dont think it’s possible or atleast extremely hard to water properly.
Without that i dont see you not struggling through the grow. I can’t express how much of an issue this will cause you
Nope absolutely fine and will grow new roots. From the stem that is buried.Oh I’m going to get more! Just literally ran out.

Just not the same water holding capacity and can cause uneven soil moisture making it hard to correctly waterOut of curiosity, what would be the issue if I were to fill it with different dirt?
Copy that. I’ll give it a good read. Good to know about the runoff too, I don’t like watering to runoff anyway because all I see are $$$ in fertilizer leaving my plants.Make sure you read that thread it will explain a lot that will help you understand how, why and when to water.
Your in organic ao you do NOT want much runoff. Just enough to saturate the pot then let it dry until light.
That’s exactly why… organics provides available nutrients slowly over time and if you just wash them out if the soil the plants get next to no nutrients.Copy that. I’ll give it a good read.
