Ok here is the deal i popped my LR2 in root riot plugs last thursday 2 days later she was above ground and growing now its almost 1 week its on its seccond set of true leaves there are no roots exiting the plug yet i transplanted it around day 3 into my water farm because there were some small roots emerging and on larger one coming out of the bottom so i put it into hydroton im thinking i did it too early becaus i moved some rocks aside to see if there were roots and nada so i pulled the plug out all the way and the roots that were there were gone and no new ones were growing sounds like i fucked up somehow any ideas how i can get here on the right track? how should i have the cube to promote root growth and then when should i transplant into the hydroton in my GH Waterfarm (no pic cam is broken)

I would just keep it in the hydroton, if its still green and perky leave it be, and keep it warm to encourage root growth. I had a similar problem with some lemon skunk not too long ago, I had 1 weakling, never grew roots, but remained green and lush...it was a sloooow grower.

And quit messing with it... movement, light, pressure... all bad for root tips/hairs... just leave it in the hydroton but try to water barely around the plug to encourage root growth

So you recomend putting it back into the waterfarm over finding a way to grow the roots out a lil larger and heathyer befor transplanting back? and how should i water it to promote root growth? it seems like the root riot drys out rather quickly how many times a day if more than once should i water and for how long tell i can just run the waterfarm drip ring for watering
