Ok so i aint been around much but im still doing lil grows,just about to pull a GHS GWS.Now i pulled my first ever bubbler/hydro plant aa month ago and noticed the roots were stubby as if reached the boottom of container thus rtoot bound although still room for growth it felt the plant wanted to grow down more and it felt like it had stunted as a result.Now this GWS im about to pull had 1 months veg,is under 400w hps in hydro 3 part nutrients etc and again it feels like,compared to diaries ive seen,that again its stunted yet ve been aware of the container this time.Its just ive seen the size of some of the beasts on here that only had same veg period etc? The leaves arnt as big either,i know im still relatively new so time i suppose.
I was wondering though,i use small net pots and only the basic 1.5x1.5" rockwools,i never advance up.I just germinate in those rockwool then place in pot,i always assumed that as long as the roots have plenty of room to grow into that it didnt really matter how big an area ABOVE water they filled,no?.
Also i remember an old Shark Diary a year or so ago and at the end he had a picture of the root mass which had grown to fill its container that much it had the same size/shape,ie zero room yet this thing ws HUGE and excellent health,well you all know Shark so i dont need to say anymore.
Any help appreciated.
