Break those impacted balls up. Gently shake them loose. Use your fingers. Let your butt pucker feeling roots tear some but do it. The roots respond by healing and forking like the tops do when pinched. Have your new medium damp but not wet. Transplant with Mykos in the hole or sprinkled on the roots. Leave it alone for a few days . If leaves droop ignore it. If the stems start to head to the ground also THEN water LIGHTLY.
Got it! I’ll remember that next time, thank you for stopping by and helping!
Good luck. Also use a skewer or long screwdriver and drive it top to bottom throughthe medium occasionally to aerate the roots. And to aid in water reaching the bottom roots without saturating the medium unnecessarily .
Great idea! Honestly, I really need to chill out and take it easy. I get too perfectionistic and freak out over every little thing. Thanks again for your help.
Happy to see @hotrodharley sharing his awesome knowledge. Fingers crossed your girl makes it though.
That was me, I wasn’t sure if tagging him would be overstepping. I spaced it out on purpose
Time and patience bro it’ll comeback plants are super resilient sounds like your on the right track man!
Thank you brother I appreciate that. I’m feeling more hopeful about it, but I do have to remind myself that at least I tried and that it’s an experiment. That’s how you get better. I have learned quite a bit that you can only learn in doing and not reading and I have read so much but it’s nothing compared to growing it. All in all I feel better because now I’m a little bit wiser and closer to achieving my goal.
Cool dark place you want them to stay a little moist or the bugs die.
Yeah you’re right. Honestly these grows kind of take it out of me. I get really intense and feel this pull to perfection. Like the idea of perfection and the feeling I get from it is greater than the act of growing. This happens a lot of times with me in other areas in my life as well. It’s just hard for me to relax and see my plant in a sorry state, but this anxiety has also lead me to make quick rash decisions that effected me negatively. Idk maybe I put too much stock in these grows. I’m not selling it, there is only personal value on it. I’m going to try and chill, but damn these perfectionist tendencies kill me.
The yellowing is the beginning of a iron deficiency, if it’s the bottom it’s nitrogen. Kitty is absolutely adorable.
You are absolutely right, but I attribute that to the High pH, which doesn’t allow the plant to take up nutrients like Zinc, Manganese, Iron, and I think Magnesium.
This Friday she’ll be getting some Worm Castings and maybe Alfalfa Meal. Alfalfa speads up composting and provides new different microbes as well as Nitrogen, problem is the rootball is that over amended soil. I think I should wait on it until it’s fully recovered. Then again, the plant did not wince or flinch at the massive topping I did. What do y’all think? The rest of the soil is non-amended Light Warrior, so it will need macronutrients at some time. Next watering will be with Kashi Tea, they say to add Molasses too.
