Are these roots bound? PICS +REP

sqhschief · Sep 8, 2009

As you see, they are drooping and yellowing, either rootbound or over watered or both.

Here's the roots, what do you think? BTW I have repotted soon after taking these photographs, time will tell.

Oh and strain is WW, 2 weeks old from sprouting, 3 inches tall average, no nutes yet. Thanks!

If you have to ask if they are over watered, then they are. The drooping/curling down is to much. Don't water until the pot is light.

The uniform yellowing looks like a lack of nitrogen.

The plant is fine. The cotyledons are still there, and the plant is not really needing feeding. The roots are fine. The soil does not need to be sopping wet. Just very moist.

Once the small round guys on the bottom of them stems fall off... Then you will begin feeding.

So you think the repotting will help dry 'em back out. I will not be using ferts just yet even with the slight nitrogen def.

. So you think the drooping is from slight over watering? Once again thanks for all your expertise! :peace:

Yeah I know that about the roots, however, they were only exposed while transplanting and for this photo.

whiterhyno420 · Sep 8, 2009

also you should transplant little as possible

I have already transplanted them, however, I did not give additional water to them. I will let them dry completely in the new pots before watering again. Oh, and they are under a 400w MH, using Miracle Grow Organic Choice (NO time-release) mixed 60%, MG Perlite 30%, and Coco fiber 10%. I forgot to mention that.

No prob bro, will update this thread with results of the transplant. Peace

sqhschief · Sep 9, 2009

Here's the results of the transplant. Also noticing the yellowing leaves getting brown edges :wall:

. At least the new growth is looking good.

So there you go, I will continue to update as long as I continue to get help! lol Thanks in advance and remember +rep.

sqhschief · Sep 9, 2009

Oh and temps are about 85F. No nutes added. Plants are 1.5 weeks old.

sqhschief · Sep 9, 2009

Come on guys there's rep hangin in the balance here, lol.

GrowTech · Sep 9, 2009

Temps are a little bit higher than I would keep 'em.

Darkuser · Sep 9, 2009

That pic looks healthy. The brown spots are microscopic and far to early to worry.

Just keep watering only when It actually needs it, and get those temps down. Let the plant do its thing for a bit.

I have a cool tube on the way, how much do you think that would lower the temps?

hey how close to the lights? might not be nitro deff, could be light bleaching clorophyll will break down and evaporate, also do you have a fan on them? did the discoloration start at the bottom leaves and work its way up? or start at the top and gow down?

They are 16inches from the 400w MH. I have a fan blowing across the tops at all time. Discoloration started on the lower leaves. What is this light bleaching? I have saw many people with their HID's much closer. +rep
