@Smokey731 Open up the pans to light and make sure the bottoms are exposed to air. Do not believe me on this but do your fact checking. I heard mention of using a 3% OTC hydrogen peroxide spray.
@Smokey731 When I had mites during different grows, I usually either saw the lower yellow/orange leaves drop without drying, green leaves with white specks, or white or brown bumps underneath. Mite infestations invade a grow fast.
Got some fungus gnat traps and some mosquito bits coming gonna make some stands tomorrow at work will do some reading on h2o2 and see how it works
@Smokey731 just remember this is my experience and what worked for me. I had some green algea problems this grow because I had them in planter trays, once I put them on racks and aimed a small fan at the plant bottoms it cleared up. Take care! They look healthy and please let me know how everything turns out!
There are guys here using them still but I migrated over to bakerās cooling racks so I could more easily deal with plants on an individual basis and removing run off water and stuff.
They have all different diameters and squares and rectangles too. Sometimes it gets tricky finding just the right key word on Amazon though. LOL!
Iām using these in both tents now -
And yeah - the bottoms of most of my bags look like the fuzz on a pigs back! LOL! But thatās one of the advantages of the bags and elevated pots. The exposure to air and light on the sides, will kill the root tips promoting even more rooting inside the bag. Itās actually good for the plants!!
If youāre fighting bugs go with Cap Jacks - the best of the best.
If it turns out to be spider mites switch your poison after a couple of applications as they will develop a tolerance to the poison in subsequent generations. Change over to a different blend, like Garden Safe, for a few days then back to Jacks.
Put on latex gloves and long sleeves and absolutely soak the plant to the bone in it making sure the top, bottom and every part of every leaf is soaked. You want it to look like you literally just dunked it in a pool.
I killed them in a week and havenāt seen them since. Knock wood!
Best of Luck to you!!
But dude - those roots mean your ladies are VERY healthy - nothing more!!
And they look GREAT!!

Will do thank you again
@Smokey731 we are here to share our experience. Just hate to see anyone suffer the way I did.
PS. Completely sanitize that tent when the grow is done.
Imma bleach the hell out of it ![]()
@Smokey731 I do the same. When I can still move them it is every couple of weeks!
So.
Iām just ⦠Iām unsure how to unpack that but I will say jumping in with assumptions is not helpful. Thatās why we have support tickets and why Jane was asking questions before offering advice.
This is my thought too. I get roots creeping out of my fabric pots when the lowest areas donāt get enough light. In your case, Iām with @JaneQP and @Tylersays - risers to get the bottoms more air exposure is the best way to help those roots air prune. Light is going to be the best bet against algae. I donāt love H2O2 but in this limited circumstance, I think youāre safe to apply on the lower bottoms of your bags to help obliterate the green algae. Just be mindful that it doesnāt find its way into your feed water or anything like that, H2O2 is really quite detrimental to all those helpful microbes you and your plant worked so hard to create.
As others have stated. Itās perfectly normal. Thatās what makes fabric pots special. Theyāre permeable. They will air prune but if theyāre sitting in a container that blocks airflow, it will take longer to air prune.
You got it @Graysin H202 is my last resort on tender roots and it has never gone that far.
Gave them the first dose of mosquito bits today have them pests narrowed down to spring tales they donāt harm the plant from what Iāve read but I still donāt want any
lol @JaneQP
Congratulations nice harvest ![]()
Looks outstanding.
