    Default Where are the roots at?

    Just wondering if it's normal for roots to take this long to show up. The plant was placed in the bucket from clone on mar4 The strain is grape ape I'm using gg with some micronutrients a root booster and mykos 600hps. Is there anything I can do to help boost the root aside of what I am dumping in it now? Thanks

    Are you monitoring your res temps mate? If it's too cold it'll shock the root anytime it pops out. Also make sure the water level is high enough so the mist from the airstones bubbles is hitting the rock wool.

    Your water wants to be around 10mm from the bottom of the net pots so when the bubbles burst is splashes the feed solution on the clay balls. It’s a good idea to pour your feed solution through the top a couple of times per day to encourage the roots down...

    Its close enough I'm sure the bubbles splash on the pebbles and I do pour some of the solution top side at least once a day

    looks over watered and over fed. Those rock wool cubes can get too wet easily enough. Having the solution an inch or so lower than the net pot didnt work for me was getting too wet. I had mine much lower to get the roots moving.

    Do you guys think this can be a genetic issue. The clones also took longer then usual to root in my bubble cloner usually they will start showing roots around day 5 or 6 this one started showing at day 9

    Sounds like the rockwool was too damp all the time and I wouldn’t feed from the top I’d rather use something to splash the underneath of the rockwool if it needs dampening.
