maybe a root prob?

I transplanted a group of girls yesterday from 3-20 G bags. This will be their final shoe. most of the roots on the very bottom of the 3 gallon when transplanting looked brown and dead. The bottom was sort of brittle and caked together, if that makes any sense. The sides still had some nice healthy roots circling the containers. I wonder if this is old dead roots, or a real issue. Anyone recommend something i could do to give the roots a nice healthy bath...
Maybe a zyme product...i currently use nothing of the sort.

A good zyme product never hurts.......sounds like possibly a drainage or ph issue.....been checking your ph runoff?

Just from what you've described I'd wonder about drainage at the very bottom of your pot. If the plant itself looks ok I probably wouldn't worry too much....but again....a good zyme product (I use Cannazym) is never a bad idea.

Thanks Hound.

Unfortunately i have been too preoccupied with my finishing flowers to check the PH runoff, and i recently put them in 20 gallon grow bags, so the soil should be fine for now. Lots of fresh dirt. Not sure if i will even be able to check it now that they are in bags??

It looked like a drainage issue maybe. Like the bottom millimeter was wet for too long. I do wait quite a bit for them to dry before i water, so it is unexpected. They look relatively OK otherwise. A little on the yellowish green side, but they have been stressing a little going in and out of flower. I am hoping they will kick back into VEG!!
Going to post some pics here in a little bit of some finishing girls. First full success so check them out...ya'll really helped out with my issues!:thumbsup:
