Root pruning
Has anyone ever tried root pruning on there plants?
Root pruning is essentially the same as normal pruning. You cut off roots.
You do this because old roots which are very large do no take up anything.
They are just like large branches at the top of the plant, they are pathways for nutes/water
So you cut these large roots and whatever was attached just dies and the site of the cut grows lots and lots of new roots. This is done lots in gardening it increases root growth and creates a larger root ball.
I have been thinking about it and maybe the life cycle of cannabis is too short to see the benefit of this. As slowing growth for a week is a big deal for cannabis but not for a tree.
