Default green roots
Hey everybody

I have a buddy that recently tranplanted his clones into small clear cups and loves how he can see the root development. I remember that growing with the roots exposed to light is very bad, i think i remember something about them turning green and getting some disease but i cant remember the specifics. I want to convince my buddy of why not to continue what he's doing but for the life of mw cant find anything other than " you shouldnt grow in clear container". if you can give me some more facts on the disease or have anything related to what im talking about other than "yea its bad" let me know.

Thanks everybody

I don't know of the facts you're looking for, but I did find a useful solution when using clear pots. mine are made from gallon jugs in ebb and flow, so I was worried about having any kind of paint or metal in the pots touching the nute water, and plastic usually doesn't block enough light. then I found landscape fabric. the stuff used to block weaks. it breathes well and blocks almost all the light. I line my pots with that. my pepper plants don't have that fabric or anything else in it. the pots are clear and you can see the roots. they are white and I haven't had any problems in the last few months, but doesn't mean he wont have problems. I might have trouble with it in the future if I didn't start using the black fabric. if your buddy uses H2O2, that might help prevent any problems.

Once I was playing mommy, I made six-hundred clones, and used small clear cups for established clones... For sale... I ended up having 200 left over, I kept em in the little 12 fl oz cups for 2 months, trimming back, and watering a little bit daily... They were covered in green on the inside of the cup. I think it's just algae.

They did fine, I flowered them, ezcellent results, I did let them veg for a couple weeks after replanting though.

If possible don't use clear cups... Light is bad for the roots. It kills them, the roots that is.

if you are worried why not place the clear cups inside something that will cover them up? Then your friend can easily take them out for a look and then put them back without worrying about any detrimental effects.

It would make sense that the roots shouldnt be exposed to light, after all they are roots
