Very similar to what I use, I cut the nitrogen off completely the last two weeks on most strains though, helps them get that fade that looks so nice

That was my thought as well. But may I ask why you cut the roots? I have heard that the roots explode with growth after cutting. This true?
Im grateful for being able to keep company with folks like you guys. I try to talk shop about growing with close friends and family and I can feel that there like “oh my, here we go again”.
I don’t think its in my head.

The reason I cut the roots on that particular plant was because it needed to be saved but my buddy had it in a realy large pot with contaminated soil.
By chopping the roots down I was able to transplant it into a smaller pot with a fresh good soil mix and relocate it to my room to be nursed back to life, it had been abanded in a shed outside all summer with a weak light keeping her alive.

I use Vermiculite in my mixes and that does the cutting for me while my plants
are grow as Vermiculite is a Volcanic Glass
by do this as the plant grow it creates a root mass of fine feeder roots
this are the roots that feed you plants
big fat roots hold the plant up
they will with in reason
we are glad to have you here also
that is how it goes with non plant grow s

Finally got to the end @dequilo took me a minute but I’m here watching and learning.
Glad that you have the mite problem eradicated. Also beautiful grows. Learning a lot about the way you prune your plants. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom with us young grasshoppers.

an update 01/12/2021
as my Grandmother always said to us young folks “idle hands are the Devils playground”
well being bored to tears and not going to plant beans as they might decide to grow on me 
I have about 45 plants I have no real idea what they are other than The Weed and space running
out
I need to do something proactive, so cloning is out and the water is a bit hot but I do have roots
and in no time at all 30 more plants to find a place
So What to Do?
maybe bit of light trimming and pruning because smaller plants take up least room so I
can have more plants
the above was on 01/10/2021
so you get the idea I hacked off about 2/3 of the top growth and foliage of the plants and will let them
recover before I inflect more pain on them
so I am making little bushes so they can take up less room and with some pruning
they can stay in the six inch square pots until 8 weeks or so from now
they will sex themselves by than with luck
at some point they will go into 1 1/2 gallon round pots waiting for the spring
so these plants soon will need a repot they are in I believe 3 gallon to the trade pots
and will be put in a smaller pot
after I cut off 50% of the rootball and 66% of the top growth to rejuvenate them
after their shitty fall
@Floyd nice to see you and thanks for reading this thread I do put it up to show folks
what I do and what can be done
Cannabis is such a unbelievably resilient plant it takes a lot of abuse and yet
still grows
Thank God
make seeds and share them

Emmie is the only grower I follow on 420mag, she is always interesting and incredibly informative. A little bit idiosyncratic and not a perfect model for everyone in every respect, but literally anyone can leave her work with a lot of knowledge they didn’t have before.
It’s always worth a visit to her threads, they are very rich.

Thanks @dequilo I do try to improve my understanding of the plant daily.It’s just such a change from how I used to grow.
The most important lesson I’ve had at overgrow so far was ReikoX’ litfa 101 class. I was too overeager for the most part. Learned the ways of litfa and my understanding of the plant improved.

For lack a of a better word, I’ve been pinning my plants down around the pot, especially the main stem, and other than the plant thickening like crazy, it seems like it’s turning into a hairy snake, shooting out branches to the side, almost as though it’s out of spite. Hope I’m not making a grave mistake round here, though there are tons of tiny branches getting formed… space is turning into a tiny jungle! Guess I heard it twice, LIFTA the heck out of it? just kidding…! Newbies.
