So how many weeks after germ do you trim ur roots?? Does this shock the plant ??I do DWC in 5 gal buckets under a scrog net. I trim about 4 inches off once (for obvious reasons) the day I put the net down. I use a long carving or bread knife, And I still end up with this at the end:
Do you run sterile Michigan lad or add some kind of beneficials? Must be a hell of a job to keep such a root mass healthy.I do DWC in 5 gal buckets under a scrog net.

So you cut around 4 inches ?? Once I get a chance I show you my roots maybe you can guide where to cutI run as sterile as possible with really cool water temps and lots of air. The city water where I live is absolutely terrible for drinking but the plants thrive on it.
DwcJust curious...Why do you want to trim your roots? What type of grow style are you using?
Here is a great example
X2 on the great vid ! But idk if I would do it through flower seems kinda off but during veg seems good to go. Mines are about all day old seedlings and the roots have exploded in the bubble bathHere is a great example

Love learning new stuff, this is very interesting. I came up under the mind set "many, many years ago" of disturbing the root zone as little as possible otherwise it stresses the plant out. That is a very nice and uniform root zone though.Just as a side note root trimming aids in the production of lateral roots which is a good thing. You can train your roots just as you train your plant. I do it aften until I get a full root mass. This is in a 13g tote and is only at 3 weeks old. It's been trimmed atleast 5 times in that period with no detriment to the plant at all. The
Oh yea same here and it makes so much sense since the roots just explode when well fed also it looks like the roots look much healthier when trimmedLove learning new stuff, this is very interesting.
