I dont think that cutting the roots is a good thing to do. My buckets are full of roots also, but i think that if you cut the roots, it's the same as if you cut one lung? I keep all the roots, they need them to feed themselves.

fhydro Reviewed by fhydro 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
