White Rino cfl grow!! ( concerned about plant)

MrFishy said:

That'd be the tap-root, which anchors your plant(s) to the ground. Outdoors they serve a purpose throughout the grow. Indoors, I cut mine off at final depth when doing my final transplant. It's not likely my plants will face hurricane force winds and trimming off the tip obviously would promote more feeder roots.
Not for the squeamish. You can actually trim all those unruly roots when TP'ing without any effect.
Of course, I'm talking about healthy, growing plants . . . not sickly or skimpy ones.
I wouldn't know how this would effect those.

huh.. I didn't know you could trim it. So do you think this would have any positive effect on plants in a DWC hydro set-up?
