Ya u got me on that one. I'll admit it. Dtw, I knew what it means, drew a blank when I read it at first. But again I can admit it. Unlike the bad advise your giving new growers. And yes u can root prune, it'll actual make roots branch out more. But doing to an auto or just before going to flower whether it is canabis or tomatoes for that matter is not good advise. And that is fact ! And I already said I don't know everything and am no expert. And appreciate other ideas, thoughts and opinions. Your the one who that won't accept someone else's opinion or idea on damaging roots. We all have done dump things for years. Doesn't mean it was right. We usually grow up and get wiser, and realize it probably wasn't the smartiest thing to do. And stop doing it. But then there are others who just never grow up and or would rather just stay ignorant. Instead of trying to figure out how to do things better or smarter. If everybody just accepted ignorance and didn't try to improve anything, we would still be living like cave men. Why not we did it for years and managed to get by. Why change or improve anything ?
