Question for you.

I'm growing in soil in airpots, only got 2 on the go but some of the better (bigger) one's roots have grown out through the bottom mesh & are sat swimming in the drip tray/dish that the airpots are sat in. This plant had stretched a bit as a seedling so I planted her a bit deeper.

Basically does this mean the plant will guaranteed hermie as these roots are obviously exposed to light.

Yeh man as soon as you see them flowers coming start with the boost they fuckin love it

i know exxaktly what your saying and your answer is no, called airpruning mate, basically as soon as they go thru the bottom the end of the root kinda dies off, i swear by airpot m8, ther just messey so what i done is put them in 10 litre black bag pots, ther loose so still gettig air into the airpots, or u can use sum ladies tights round them to save mess

but no its fine its called airpruning

Yeh man as soon as you see them flowers coming start with the boost they fuckin love it

yeh they all got lveley hairy buds so the boost has begin even tho i hear using balckstrp mollasses does just as good job

Mollases is is a carbohydrate its also good as an additive but I use it and the end about 2 weeks before harvest with lemon juice to make the buds sweet n tasty lemon juice mainly for ph down

molasses is pointless in coco...

Why I started using it when guru kyle kushman told me to

 

[zVice]

kyle kushman grows in organic soil mixtures
molasses can be effective in assisting the micro organisms found in soil

coco is inert

[shawnybizzle]

Oh and you only use about a teaspoon per 10ltr its strong stuff

True.... but it still gets absorbed through the roots and helps the plants and helps in flower

 

[IC3M4L3]

so no to mollasses then IMO, il just stik to m=y boost /pk

 

[shawnybizzle]

How do u grow matey? Soil coco hydro?

 

[zVice]

molasses don't get absorbed in the roots LOL
all it does is feed the bacteria found in soil which in turn assists with the uptake of nutrients

no micro herd - no point.
