Fabric pots

[Mdotbean19]

I’ve been symptom chasing for at least the duration of my vegetation stage. Today I picked up my pots that are fabric only to notice that roots had began to grow outside the pot. The pot sits on the roots so unless you pick the pot up you can’t tell could this be the reason for my issues with brown spots leaves turning yellow. I’ve check ph started calimagic a week ago

They normally air prune themselves The bag can’t breath underneath the bag. Should be off the ground. What size bag are you using? how tall is your plant, it might be time to transplant. How old is the plant all these things would help give you an answer

[Mdotbean19]

20 gallon bag and I would say maybe three feet. Plants are 60 days old

You need to get your pots off the floor - find some kind of riser - bottoms need to breathe too.
I use the grate off my side burner propane bbq. I have three.

Roots growing out of the bottom of fabric pots is certainly not a problem that you need to be worried about.
Looks very much like your problem is Phosphorous deficiency. Check out this http://www.growweedeasy.com/phosphor...iency-cannabis Looks very much like your pictures!
If you feel that you have been giving adequate Phosphorous then the problem may be related to pH. If neither of those are issues than it is likely lock-out and you should flush, but check out the article.

Canuck147 I didn't use risers for my final pots and didn't have any roots grow out of the bottom. I agree with Campensino they're looking pretty big for the pot. And it's not likely going to hurt anything. I don't believe they're entirely necessary and wouldn't cause a problem unless they sat in run off all the time, coco may also be good to use risers since there's so much moisture build up. It does provide a little more oxygen to the roots however they restrict height in some environments. Here's a pic of the last harvest using saucers not risers. I'm with Campensino on this one

Maybe but with fans blowing on them and I leave no run off in my saucers it's going to be hard for wpm without moisture. Pots are rotated weekly and no problems thru 2 grows.

Yes, should have been repotted awhile ago. Once they get rootboud its easier for them to start having other problems.Which it may have.

[Mdotbean19]

These are 20 gallon pots the plants aren’t even three feet still too big? I got plant risers to get them off the ground

[Chefbjy]

Those aren't 20 gallon pots in the pic. A 20 gallon pot would take up a lot of room. You sure it's not 20 liters?

[Mdotbean19]

You’re right I went and checked their three gallon.

[Chefbjy]

I like 7 gallons myself. You'd need a big plant to fill a 20 gallon 😆

[Paracelsus]

Chefbjy Big Bags is how you get big plants. Let your plant grow into the bag and avoid transplanting.
If you have the head room 40 gallons of LOS will grow you some trees

[Mdotbean19]

So I’m guessing this would be the cause to my troubles then? The pots being too small?

[Chefbjy]

How tall are they? If the roots are bound up it could cause a lot of problems. 3gallon is kind of small but can easily grow a decent size plant if you flip to12/12 before it fills out the pot. They look big for 3gallons though. Are you still vegging? Like stated above they probably should have been repotted a while ago.

Mdotbean19 at least one of them
NebulaHaze as a sticky on what info to post to help diagnose problems also the search function in. The tutorial section works great to ID Common problems

[Mdotbean19]

Their about 2 feet -21/2 feet. Two and half months old.

[Mdotbean19]

Paracelsus I’ve visited to tutorial section. And read the diagnoses problems step. I’ve been chasing my tail also trying everything I’ve read. Because it’s showing multiple symptoms. I’m trying to get this narrowed down with help from you guys specific to my grow

[Mdotbean19]

[Mdotbean19]

[Mdotbean19]

Only thing I can think of is that. I have them still on the floor with no lifters and the pots are three gallons. I’ve chased everything from root rot to calmag. PH is 6.4

What kind of soil are you using?

I have fabric pots sitting on self-draining saucers. There are roots growing out the bottom and sitting between the pots and the saucers. I do not move my plants, but am 100% confident they are there. That is not your problem. Unless they are sitting in standing water there is no problem with putting fabric pots on a hard surface. Your pots would drain better if up on risers, but the roots themselves or the pot on a hard surface are not the problem.

I would like to know what kind of soil you are using, because it doesn't look great. Check out this link if you haven't already: http://www.growweedeasy.com/what-soi...owing-cannabis

Campesino I’m using fox farm ocean forest

[Campesino]

OK, I guess it is just wet and compacted.
Are the symptoms still the same? It really looked like phosphorous deficiency... Did you follow up with that?
