Default Help!!! Have To Cut Males, And Roots Grown Together
YES... i know i went on a sudden hiatus, but i was so pissed off from my first AG crop, i just didnt have the strengh to work up another journal until i see some vaginas in my AG.

Well.. so far so bad....

in a sense....

I have 5 plants growing in my AG. 2 sets of Yspiters with one 40 warm cfl, and one 28 watt cool cfl in each...

2 airstones, and im using the AG nutes...

I started growing about 4 weeks ago, and induced flowering at about 2 1/2 weeks... My last crop i had 3 plants 3 males, so i wanted to get a jump on what the sex was early...

Let me get to the point...

I have five plants actively growing in my AG, so you can imagine what the roots are looking like in the rez. YEP.. You guessed it... BEASTY... healthy as an ox, but all tangled together...

so, naturally ive cam to the point where i can identify the tallest plant as a male.... i want to pluck it fast to make room in the rez, and to get more light to the others... how would i go about cutting down the male, without fucking up the other roots that are tangled with the others?

Default Just pull it out
I had to do the same thing. Just gently pull the plant out of the rez. You will get a few roots from the other plants. But it turned out just fine the other plants were ok.

Talking yes go get wet
i just read up on this stuff hygrozyme.

it is expensive but from all the reviews and what i have read on here it is supposed to be amazing.

i checked it out at my local hydro store, worms way, and this product got a 5 out of 5 review from all who used it.

supposedly you just need to cut down the male as low as possible and then add this stuff. as your male roots die, it will eat/dissolve the dead material and actually help to feed your remaining plants, if i remember correctly.

i gonna go check it out again to be sure but you wont have to worry about untangling the roots.

if i wrong i be right back with correct info....or i may get stuck on porn.....come find me if not here in 10 minutes.....



right from the web page:

Great for hydro or soil-based systems, Hygrozyme prevents the formation of pythium and algae in your growing media. Bacteria-free enzymes attack dead plant proteins and convert them into usable sugars. All-natural Hygrozyme is 100% effective guaranteed with an unlimited shelf life. Nothing beats it!
