It’s gotten a little cool over the past couple weeks, mid 60’s but the floor could be colder as it’s on the basement. I’ve been meaning to put down some cardboard underneath the trays to add an additional barrier.
I can’t see any roots popping out and I don’t really want to crack open the air pot but I have been feeling like they need some bigger shoes before flipping to flower
Mid 60's isn't cold, thats not a bad temp.
Regarding the
smart pots, do you have severe height restrictions? I'm trying to understand why you would want to try a complete grow in such a small pot. Have you done something like that before? Please dont take this as bashing you, I'm just trying to understand. Those are very small pots. Not sure if you know but the root system is at least as big if not larger than what we see above ground. You dont see any roots coming out for two reasons. One, the pot is doing what it's supposed to do, air pruning and two, it takes ideal, damn near perfect conditions, to get roots shooting out of an air pot. It mostly has to do with humidity. I used to use air pots and hand water. The only time I had roots to shoot out was when I was watering constantly and the roots only came out the bottom of the pot because that area between the pot and the drip tray stayed moist.
If you're wondering what to do, I would transplant to a container about 5x's bigger than what you have there. When you transplant, break that root ball up, not completely, but maybe crack the bottom like an egg. Let it veg until healthy, about a week to 10 days, then flip.
