Bit of a cleanup day today, and I did promise someone here I’d show the roots off the the plants with airdomes in the autopots, just so you can see the crazy roots.
These were harvested 4 weeks ago and have just been sitting like this since.
Looks like I used rockwool cubes for these seeds. Forgot about that! I picked some up cheap when the hydro store sold its stock to the thrift store, The stem is the same thickness to the bottom of the cube, then Boom! roots everywhere!
This is a side view of a dumped pot. Top of pic is where stem was, bottom of mass is where the airbase and dome are tucked under.
Bottom of plant, you can see the impression from the airdome after it was peeled away.
I wrap a 8" circle of landscape fabric around the dome for additional root control
But they still manage to find their way in! Peeled out nothing but a ball of fine roots, there is no soil here, just an air pocket pushing out more air.
This is how they looked when I put them in.
And 5th node, we have roots! Time to plant these last 4!
These went into 1 gallon pots, just used the old ProMix from the pots I just emptied. These 4 will join the other 5 in 1-gallons and become cellar dwellers. The 7 in 2-gallon pots will get the tent in 3 weeks or so. Ya, was only going to move 6 up, but the one I replaced had a bit of a recovery, so we will split them based on pot size. Probably be flipped in a couple weeks, don’t want them too unmanageable!
Anyways, I’m late, gotta go! Missed 4:20 walk with Sheba! Pack the pen and I’m off!
Smoke lots folks!
