Johnnypotseed’s 3-ring circus - with autos, photos & sex…reversals, that is! (Part 7)

Disregard my previous advice about scraping. The more i search google the more I’m sure they’re just root knobs trying to sprout.

@MoBilly there are pics of the same looking stuff, and all I see says root knobs, or where roots would be trying to grow

I’ve got a temp monitor that records the max and minimal temp in there. Never above 80 or less than 70. They’re all in SIP’S so they only uptake what water they want.
:thinking:
I’m at a loss for what else to do with them. I’m going to do as Johnny’s suggested and add some dirt to cover the white spots as much as I can.

White Rhino is a heavy rooter, that I know. lol
Also, you know that old saying…‘more root, more fruit’

The plant itself does look pretty good. I’d take some of the larger fan leaves off so the light gets to the lower areas better, but overall it’s a nice looking little gal.

Brother, had you seen them last week! They were friggin beautiful! All stretched out praying to the lights, Growing like crazy. I have topped them at least four times or they would be twice the size they are right now.
It’s a little disheartening is all. I know they aren’t gone too far and will come back when I get this nailed down.

I have a sour strawberry in the tent that started sprouting roots at the bottom……s I split a red solo cup put it around the bottom and filled it with dirt….seems to have done the trick cornering the root sprouts

Now that’s using the old noodle for something other than holding a hat!

Good solution, lol not as much work as a re-pot! Possibly use a small pot (because of the size/area) in a similar fashion to @olschool suggestion, instead of a solo cup
Cut the bottom of pot out, split it down the side to be able to wrap around the bottom stems, tape it closed & fill it with dirt. The roots will grow down into the main pot.

I still have the top rings that I cut off of the buckets used inside the SIP’s. That will work bro!

@MoBilly Here’s a prime example of what I was saying earlier about White Rhino being a ‘hard rooter’ lol These all were cut the same time (actually, WR was the last ones cut) While the 2 rows on either side of her are barely starting to root, the 5 down the middle are WR. i took this pic this morning.

Yeah. I was amazed at how fast they took root as well. It’s gotta be user error on my part. I just posted some better pictures on my thread.

She probably just didn’t like having her bottom bare and trying to get something ‘dressed’!

I did a little search @MoBilly and everyone seems to say it’s where roots would have formed and it’s nothing to worry about. It’s on the internet so it has to be true.:+1:t2:

If you read it three times it must be true. lol
