What do u think about planting legging stems down into the auto pot or wwould that be a bad idea and they go soggy or am i better topping them
Sorry bud I'm not sure what legging stems are maybe i know them by another name?
I had a quick look I see gadgets for bending stem, is that them?

I've buried stems before and it doesn't cause any problems, what are you planning on doing?

Yeah bury the stems i mean m8, as there a bit tall, but curious with soil being always wet in autopot would that be a bad idea... i have the littke benders.

I think i will top them all to be honest and let thwm grow a new apical

That's a great idea mate I doubt very much it would cause any problems, they'll grow roots for you if you decide to, I plant them frequently to get donor plants and to shorten mother plants.

This wasn't money driven originally but it helps now, especially with leccy prices.

I had 2 bags of root balls to recycle.

I hit them off the floor (inside a bag lol) to loosen it up then sieve it with the grill off a 12" fan, I've sieve but the grill is finer.

I've not bought coco in a year+ and I'm stocked with around 250ltr.
With 2x canna being roughly £60 i can well afford the hour or so it take to recycle.

I've recycled it a few times now and I'm still surprised that pretty much a new bag of coco emerges out of they root balls.
Omg that's 2+ years I've been recycling the same coco, idk how many crops its done but say 8/10 crops

It's about 50/50 canna and coarse brick it's still working great.

Just a suggestion folk's... scrog nets are convenient to put up, take down and there's ample hanging space, scrog nets are available for less than a tenner.

I leave one net fixed at the back permanently and I've a couple twist ties at the front I hook it onto when required.

Idk how I stumbled onto it but I like it, it's really convenient.

I know been brewing in the tent for around 4 - 5 months after you recommended it and growing it I've been excited I didn't take cuts of the 3 fems I got but I've saved enough on the stumps and I'm gna reveg the winner so I always got a chem in the stable going forward
