I didn't have much going on today so I went to the beach this morning. Got to ride my new board on a few waves, got some exercise and had a nice time.
sounds so fun

Hey 6,

Anyone know the scoop on smart pots? My first run with them and roots are starting to tear through the sides and a ton coming out of the bottom, is this normal? It's #2 pots and I just finished week 1 flower, the plants aren't that big at all, was hoping to finish flower in them? They are maybe 12"-15" tall, flowered at like 10"..didnt really want to up pot since it's sort of a sog grow

Thanks for the insight dat :) puts my mind at ease. I'm kinda just winging this grow so I keep seeing alot of unexpected things happening since I have no idea what I'm doing lol, just hoping to finish the grow and get back to regular hydro soon 8-)
So that's rw croutons in airpots?
Those roots dont look like they are done searching either, maybe need to cover them?
Sweet set up tho. Sounds pretty hydro to me

The roots coming out of the sides will slowly die of, pruning itself, and then roots will contiue up and down the sides doing the same thing. Been using these suckers ever since I say the different in growth. Then when you tear up the root ball after harvest, you REALLY see what the pot does. Basically solid roots from top to bottom of soil container.

Like said before they do take a lot more watering because they dry quicker but I thought it was a small price to pay for such big differences. My plants right now in 5g smart pots wouldn't be near as big in a regular 5g plastic pot or bucket.

@alpha, That's "air pruning" the roots, while the roots popping through dry
off it forces the roots inside to spread even more. I've had solid root balls
in 10 gal. pots. The last week of flower use an enzyme like Cannazyme
or Hesi Power Clean, Hydrozyme to dissolve dead root material and excess
nutes if reusing media.
Main bene NO circle root, they grow huge plants.
:peace:
