Root-zone Spreadsheet

I know there are a lot of apps and spreadsheets out there for monitoring our grows but I just wanted to share one for my grow`s root-zone that I place on a clipboard at my grow that helps me to track what is happening in my root-zone. Maybe somebody might find this useful in their grow as well.

Practice lifting your pot when it is saturated then when it gets dry. You will develop a skill of knowing when to ferti-gate and when to let it go another day or sometimes two. Need dry-back periods.

I’m using 5 gallon buckets right now. I read online about cutting off the rotted roots And putting in new soil? Do you think that would help? Also there are far more healthy roots than rotted. I’m also thinking it’s slightly root bound. ugh. I would be devastated if I ruined this plant :(

I meant that your plant can go down hill quick and die or can`t prosper under the current conditions and that you can get the problem turned around before it gets so bad that you have to let it go and move on - chock it up as a learning experience.

How can I fix root rot? I JUST found it. plant still looks healthy. And there are still healthy roots … I had a mole living in there for probably a few weeks and didn’t know until yesterday. I got him outside and I’m wondering if this could be the cause of it or if I possibly over watered? please help when you can

I`m not an expert on how to get rid of it but the best way to prevent it and maybe pull your plant back is to allow frequent dry-backs almost to the point of wilting but not quite. Try to match your pot size with the size of your plant when you can - basically 1 gallon of media to 1 foot of plant height then transplant to a slightly larger pot - say add another 1 more gallon. This can allow rapid dry-back cycles. If your pot stays wet for too long, anaerobic conditions develop in your root-zone where rot rot can thrive.
