Ok so just transplanted it - i tryed to take a picture of the root system

the roots were very tiny length was about an inch an a half from bottom of stem but they were very thin almost like root hairs and even the tap root was very thin

on the soil which was attached to the root ball if u will i noticed under the light u cud see like crystals almost like little salt deposits on the soil so maybe sutin todo with the water ?

Sounds like salt build up, wich happens when you don't get your 10% run off, do you let them dry out . I use a spray bottle the first 2 weeks as not to over water.

i was all over the place with watering tbh bro - as some of the soil contains more twigs/stones in it than others so a weight test was really difficult.

I now have spray bottle to avoid overwatering - how often should i spray? do you spray until you get a run off?

The first 2 weeeks I just mist them 2 3 times a day at week 3 I just water a little bit as not to float them, then when they wont float then water till 10% run off.

just checked the one on my other thread auto - little crystals all round the root ball exactly like the other so ive transplated both the bubblicious out of there

The ladyBurn who was literally on her last legs had cotyledons drooping down well not even drooping they were touching the stem!
since transplanting the cotyledon leaves are standing back up and the true leafs hav perked up slightly aswell -

Dry pockets + Salt build up me thinks? I sprayed the shit out of that soil earlier and it was dry wen i transplated it - im thinking that there were gaps in the pot where it wud seep through and then out the bottom without actually moistening up the soil where the root ball is possibly? and when it was there the salt was stopping the roots from thriving?

did you mix your soil real well and check to see if its moist all the way through...

With the plagron? Yeah i could feel it was dry/moist not completely dry but not moist either!

Put it in very lightly and then put rootball into place - few hours later new growth had started again - quite amazing

The soil on the LadyBurn 1974 though was completely bone dry like cement really rock hard and i watered it a couple hours earlier and the part where the root ball is was completely dry like it hadnt been watered in days - so i think there was probably air pockets where the water was falling through and not moistening the soil around the roots
