I did not say to cut the Root Ball that will shock the plant.

You can trim the roots the fall into your reservoir and clog things like sprinklers and pump motors. Just the hanging down parts of the roots.

Don't give me a heart attack like that latewood, please! lol

I also said to try it on one plant. Small steps my friend small steps.
Zandor Reviewed by Zandor on . I want to trim back rootball/dwc...suggestions? I was reading here the other day and Zandor mentioned cutting off the rootball (to stimulate new growth) above the water line and I may need to do it. Started grow with 4 plants in one res/tub...culled 2 after 12/12 produced males...I left the roots, a mistake, I believe, and when I checked my water levels by lifting the netpots I noticed the rootball rotting off. :( the plant I have flowering in that res is MY biggest plant MONGO and I hate to do something to hurt yield, but clean roots Rating: 5
