greenkush Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I tend to agree, I grow in fabric pots and each time I chop the root zone looks pretty lackluster. I might be converting back to plastic pots again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat999 Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 I was thinking of doing veg in the plastic pots and the flowering in the fabric pots. I honestly feel that seeing a kak load of roots just busting and thicc is better than, well, this ~>This was the one Amnesia Haze girl, that looks like the pubes of a 12 year old while the Bay 11 looked like the mightiest of viking warrior pubes. Honestly the best description of the roots. Sent from my G3312 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat999 Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 This is one of the reasons that I do not like veging in these bags. But as a final pot the are killing it. I've had some root systems that was incredibly. Those plants drank 1-1.5l of water a day.Sent from my VTR-L09 using TapatalkIn plastic pots?

Dr. Green Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 That is the point of a fabric pot. The roots prune when they reach the fabric but will fill your soil much better in the middle. I also veg in plastic and flower in fabric 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had that issue with plastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also veg in plastic and flower in fabric LoL and then leave fokol at the bottom and sides, the soil laying on the ground there is from the soil that just fell out the fabric pots.

Never had that issue with plastic.Bru even yesterday, my big AK and Blue Dream was pulled out but the base of the stem wasn't that solid, a bit flimsy imo.

I mean fabric pots provide nice aeration for the roots. I have some seedlings and clones going will do those in plastic and see the outcome vs my current grow in fabric. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me go take a photo quickly of the AK base stem and the B11 stem to see the difference Sent from my G3312 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG420za Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I usually go plastic, plastic then fabric. The rootball doesn't grow so lekker in the F pot. When i did full on fabric pots i noticed the same thing, no real visible roots and the ladies couldn't support themselves so lekker. Infact, my one auto sways with the fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get the reason why the difference is so huge between plants that's the same age.The first AK stem is thick for sure, a bit green stillThe second photo of the Bay11 stalk is getting the colours of tree stalksSent from my G3312 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG420za Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Me thinks that's genetic. My autos all sprouted the same day, same feed, two are on the same flower timeline, yet one of them has a noticeably thinker stem. I will go out on a limb and say that if you grow in F pots from start to end, your root ball will be invisible until you actually open out that soil. Think about it, the tip dies off the minute it hits the last cm on soil, nothing can circle, so the roots will never really grow long and be girthy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat999 Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 So as per my stupidness I went and sprayed the flowering girls with a bicarb soapy spray that was hot as tits. Like it burned the leaves pretty balls deep, it licked the stamp and sent it for sure. Not worried too much as they'll bounce back with another 3-4 weeks of vegging for them to goSent from my G3312 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
