My Root building routine...What do you think of it?

If you slide the roots down, you're likely breaking off the finer roots that come off of the tap root, and attach themselves to the plug, aren't you?

Morning Rusty,
Thanks for checking this out.I actually open up the split rapid rooter and move it done...I know there is some harm done but its minimal and I try to be as careful as possible but I do realize the small root hairs do get broken off, the plant doesnt seem to be affected for the most part.....and I am getting a small compact plant, with the majority of its roots being developed ahead of its upward growth..especially since many of us grow in small cabinets..

If one has a stretched young seedling, in dirt dont we all just repot it right up to the first set of leaves? I'm doing the same thing, but in a rapid rooter, and making the young root reach for the water..

Your thoughts please..

Thanks,
